Not possible I have talked to both of them on TS and they sound nothing alike.

QFT

I think the tidal gens look fine, but a footprint increase or a decrease in the size of the blades would probably fix it.

Wow, disrespect!

Wow. I can't belive I read that and DIDN'T notice that he called Fang Cyder.

Klavo... In Normal EE mortor bots are supposed to fire while moving.

Oh. I thought he wanted to turn that off for Normal AND Epic.

Regardless, in Epic, the mortar bots fire on the move.

Because if Fanger can't fix it on his first try, it's time to call in outside help.

also, just posting here something I said ingame: the smoke emitted from the flak cannons (GD) is rather large... maybe it should be toned down a bit? (not too much) and definately for EE Epic, but this isnt that thread

I actually like huge clouds of flack. I think its mostly a taste issue, unless it gets to a 'game stopping' point. And in that case you either need a new computer, or less flack cannons.

Yeah, Caydr really needs to buff up URC mortar bot!

jcnossen and me have played this mod a lot the last few days. It rocks! The gameplay is much faster, and the tech tree is much clearer than any other mod. Congrats!

heh, Epic is the best.

Decimator · Post by **Decimator** » 07 Jul 2006, 18:21

Epic is for the people who like slower, more strategic gameplay, while normal is good for the people that just want their explosiony goodness. :)

Forboding Angel · Post by **Forboding Angel** » 07 Jul 2006, 18:30

The only thing in epic that bugs the living crap outta me is the unit speeds. I know it's relative, but's it's a bit too slow imo.

Decimator · Post by **Decimator** » 07 Jul 2006, 18:36

Well, the problem with Epic is that the game slows way down if you let the wrong person in your game. At full game speed the units aren't terribly slow, but at half game speed....

We should stop hijacking the normal E&E thread.

A blatant attempt to go on topic:

I have recently started to believe that E&E features the most perfect resource system ever. What I have realised is that the moho metal extractors in EE are actually metal makers in disguise, since they cost a lot of energy to run. This is the most brilliant thing since it lets you have something in between a metal maker economy and one that is withouth, essentially one were you can build metal makers, but limited by the amount of metal patches. I always thought that not having metal makers is a really great idea, but this does make it even better.

The result is that the economy levels out and stabilizes on both sides and large epic battles happen.

You are talking about AA here right? Because there is no moho metal maker (or any metal maker) in EE afaik.

He means the lvl2 mexes are like metal makers because they take a massive amount of energy to run, but are limited by the number of metal patches.

Other mods have done this before, go check the OTA Moho mexes.

Fanger · Post by **Fanger** » 07 Jul 2006, 22:01

I think you mean the XTA mohos Aun, reg OTA CC mohos gave about 3x the output for not very much more energy consumption of reg mexs

Drone_Fragger · Post by **Drone_Fragger** » 07 Jul 2006, 22:12

indeed. EE mexxes just maxe your energy bar bounce around like crazy for no good reason.
