Pretty much all credits go to Nixa on this cause I didn't really do anything

I think Fox and Quantum helped out as well

For those who didnt read the other thread:

This mod brings back core AA2.11 gameplay with some bug fixes and general fixing up.

Some points

-T3 is back in full

-Fighters are effective vs ground

-Stuff that had impulse has impulse again (Notably: Gollies)

-Solars cost E

-T1 MM's are back to their old E cost

-T1 Radar sees alot

For those who dont know what 2.11 gameplay was like:

2.11 was a more volatile game, alot of things could drastically alter the course of the game despite how it was currently playing out. Units aren't as balanced against each other as they are in BA but if you are a casual player you probably wont notice much difference.

In a line: AA is easier to win and easier to lose

easier to win once you find out which unit is overpowered in this praticular version

Lemme think - I'm pretty sure it was Mavs or Gators (or both) for that version.

...Eh WTF?

Stop making random changes like caydr did.

Hit it pretty much on the head there. I thought the goal was stability and familiarity?

The name is really disrespectfull towards Caydr, besides that it's nice to see more forks

Caydr is not a god.

Worst case if he does we call it GoatAnnihilation Classic or something.

And yes the goal of this is to keep changes to a minimum. You're going to be seeing mostly bugfixes. Other than that, learn how to deal with shit

like i said nice to see more forks. But also we rather named BA to AA... but caydr didn't let us... so we didn't. He did a lot of work for our community so imo he deserves a little respect.

cadyr isnt a god yes, but he was decent guy who made the mod that most people now attribute the creation of to day and the lads. he left spring due to problems with his health according to his website. People joining since the ol' flamewar dont even know who he is. He didnt know squat about balancing but that isnt a reason for people to speak badly about him.
AA is his mod, BA is a balanced version of his mod, this is a balanced version of his mod. dosnt matter if you rename it really. its still his mod with a few bells and whistles n balance changes. I dont see why AA is any worse than BA.
Its a tribute to his efforts that his mod is still in the limelight.

hey guys, you guys know I have my qualms with caydr. However, lets just drop his name and shut up about him

this is not a thread about caydr.

Ok, lets leave it at "if he doesn't want this mod to be named AA, then it won't be". Let him have rights to his work, and let us discuss the more important issues here like WTF IS THE FLOATING HLT A BEAMER NOW. >_<

just call it Classic Annihilation and set a happy trend.

Would it not be better to just let the Zeus actually hit its target once in a while instead of just giving it more HP?

Thanks, thanks

My entire contribution was the insane impulse that knocked planes around and sent EMP'd units flying off the map, in the first version.

Call it Nixa's Balanced Annihilation, so we can watch NBA games in the lobby.
