CA X BA discussion

seems like you havent

I don't have time to respond to all of your points right now, but I will respond to one of them.

In 1V1 this is not a problem since 1V1's rarely reach T2. In team game it's a really big problem, since you'll always have someone trying to reach and use T2 , and making the game immediately slow and unfun.

I find this to be one of the biggest problems in BA and CA team games. By far, the most common form of this is farming adv solars and metal makers. metal makers are a lot worse in CA. So it makes the problem even worse. I advocate just removing metal makers from the game entirely. They are only ever useful to eat your excess energy, which I think lessens the strategic element of managing your e economy. Mostly they just serve to bait newbs into making a metal maker economy, ruining the game.

Btw "balanced" appears to be highly subjective.

How do you define "balanced". We define it as making all units viable/usefull with lots of options and possible tactics. Of course in this respect its not perfect in CA but imo its way better than in BA.

"Complete also seems to be highly subjective

[Machiosabre]

If someone says "subjective" is highly subjective I'm going to punch them in the face.

complete annhilation can mean total destruction :] and it does

balance just means balanced which is subjective ;p

[manored]

Complete is not subjective, it means that there is nothing left to be done in that matter. So "Complete Annihilation" means annihilating stuff till there is nothing else to annihilate :)

Everything is subjective in this sphere of thought. Not a useful criticism.

[Crayfish]

I am subjective? :/

I am subjective? :/

Yes :)

You might be fruit of my madness, or I might be not mad and in that case you in fact exist,

[Neddie]

I advocate maintaining the ratio of current metal makers, but folding two into one. They are useful supplementary economic structures, particularly in team games, though generally they do serve as a newb trap. We need to emphasize that they are only supplementary.

[manored]

Maybe add a loading screen with that fact? :)

[Google_Frog]

The loadscreen needs this fact: 500m for an adv solar, runs 2 mms. thats 1 metal per second(I think). 500 seconds or 8 minutes 20 seconds to get back how much you spent on the energy to run it. This isn't taking into account the E cost of the adv solar or the mm.

Seriously, if the last game on coast to coast hadn't crashed we would still be playing it!

(Was pretty amazing though... And maybe our Krogoth army would have managed to cross the sea, who knows? )

ROFL*10!
