Maybe they don't want to play it because you attack anyone with religious zeal when he even implies that CA is a mess, and then do nothing with the valuable feedback.

I was repeating that CA is a mess widget-wise for several months now. Not to mention the countless other things I pointed out but nobody gives a shit and says I'm trolling.

to pm now

er, you all can carry on

Default screen now cleared.

I feel that the current default cursor in CA feels "fat" and clumsy.
Anyone else shares this opinion?

I agree, I use Masse cursors.

Maybe change the default one to the TA one or make a new cursor that feels more precise and "slim"?

mouse cursor should end in a point. otherwise you're pointing somewhere around there.. not sure where exactly. Not that the precision always matters, but to me rounded cursors just feel wrong.

I would be alot more interested if CA finally stabalized into a 1.0. atm it feels futile to get good at CA when within two weeks the balance can dramaticly change.

the lack of other CA players makes it hard to get games

To reiterate: CA Chickens team games are some of the best fun you can have with Spring.

Complaining about player numbers/time to start games is bullshit imo. XTA has been steadily gaining in regular players for the past few months. There will undoubtedly be bleed towards BA, there always is, but I don't see it as a major contributing factor, or at least one worth any serious dev time/consideration.

On a tangent, Regret is one of spring's worst trolls. I have seen him antagonise many people, completely deliberately. I have never once seen Car attack somebody without qualification (ie Regret flamebaiting or w/e) and his contributions have been consistently based off of good intentions.

Regret being in a game puts me off playing it to a far greater degree than the mod/map choice, or player numbers.
If you want to flame me over this, you better have something better than the usual "clueless newbie" crap you throw about

Yea I'm sure I am the reason people don't play CA. That's the sole purpose I'm playing CA in the first place.
clueless newbie, xta sucks

Im loath to indulge you and escalate this...

You are not even the primary reason I don't play much CA, don't flatter yourself/make such a pathetically transparent straw man. All I wanted to do was point out how consistently counter productive your forum/lobby outpourings are.

There wasn't any dramatic change in balanced the last months. Tweaks, but not more.

Yeah brawlers fly 10% higher, but now i tweaked it back so only 5% higher :)

Should have given it more time...
I don't advise you to revert changed so fast.
You need to give a change at least 2 months before reverting IMO.
That's not much especially with CA's small tester numbers but at least that...

Relevant is only in how many games it has been tested. If enough seen it and most agree to revert it, there is no reason to keep it 2 months.

I would have thought emergent balance and diversity of options would appeal to hardcore competitive players. A lot of people's fond memories of AA cite the same thing.

It is definitely one of the few reasons I still come back to play at times.

Oh, i watched the replay and it turned out that except some initial building placement his(CarReparier) whole game was played by some kind of AI widget script unless he claims he can issue multiple commands per frame.

That would be his retreat widget. It automatically tells units to turn around when they reach low hp, this reduces their DPS and causes them to bunch with healthy units causing them to be much more vunerable to inaccuracy and AOE. If by some slim chance a cowardly unit survives the ordeal it will run back at the enemy on it's own and die.
