Map guidelines

[JohannesH]

While I dislike metal maps, I also think the "barely any metal" maps are a big problem too. The game is far too concerned with eco-management and SimBase in those games. Low-metal gameplay is fun, imho, on games that don't have the geometric growth of the TA-family games. For TA, "low metal" really means "econ spam".

This never happens with small teams BA.

small teams BA games also almost never happen, unfortunately...

no, the main diffrence between from solar is its unreliability as an energy source- ie, if you rely too much on wind, and at a crucial moment wind drops, all your HLTs stop working

making it reliable kind of destroys that risk

winds have different M/E cost from solar, extremely low HP, and large blastradius/dmg.

that's plenty different. unreliability just adds a huge element of randomness to the game, which i'm all about avoiding.

each to their own, but that just makes wind an all round superior E source (if you can protect it) which really isnt how wind should roll. it should carry its own disadvantages and I like to keep that ota mechanic going.
