Also this mod obviously plays like crap. I've never played it but the screenshots look good so the gameplay must suck because no human or team could possibly balance a mod while still making it look good.

added to topic of CA... wonder how long it will stay there

Thread control to Troll Central :

Prepare thread for breakdown.

I repeat, prepare thread for breakdown!

LOL GUNDAM!

CA is the most fun annihilation variant i've played so far, I recommend any BA players who fancy a change to give it a serious try

I like how the bulldogs rate of fire was reduced and supplemented with that new rapid fire laser tank.

Fix'd.

Mumbo was revived from the AA junkyard!

CA is better, proven fact!

Go easy on the heavy artillery, or you'll need to use Kbots in your next attack :)

It will be in the next version :D

I'm not just talking about the arty, I'm taking about normal offensive units like the stumpy tank and others. Another example is when you place a Bulldog and Goliath against each others. Two hits from the Goliath and the bulldog is stuck in a hole

Whose hole?

just posting to say that CA is the best thing ever and that watching laser towers actually shoot lasers instead of starwars-type whatever rocks. Also Thuds really feel like artillery now, and many other things just feel good. It may need some more work, but CA will prevail. I am officially a Fanboi as of now.

Fanboi status cancelled until Fox stops spamming cloggers exclusively in team games

Fox, do you want my opinions?

I know you and I have talked extensively to a degree about stuff, and I would prefer not to just unload.

Nutshell:
In many ways I am extremely impressed, in other ways (the more important ones) I'm really disappointed.

BTW, it's obvious, but almost all of the effects look freaking great

Feel free to express your opinions here in the form of constructive criticism. It also helps to prefix your more harsh criticisms with "In my opinion", instead of stating them as absolute fact

Forboding Angel · Post by **Forboding Angel** » 22 May 2007, 04:47

The ones I would be stating are fact.

Ones that affect gameplay. The reason I specifically ask fox is that he and I have been in contact off and on for quite some time now concerning CA.

Forboding Angel · Post by **Forboding Angel** » 22 May 2007, 07:31

Oh boy...

There is some huge imba here. I won't go into detail for the sake of gameplay (some are sure to figure it out though).

I suppose what I'll do is propose changes in the form of small mutators (with documented changes) and pm them to fox or quantum.

I've already found one imbalance that has been present since the early days of AA, it's truly amazing that no one ever picked up on it.

Forboding Angel · Post by **Forboding Angel** » 22 May 2007, 09:41

Ok, I've done some testing now, and things are working as I had planned. I'll have something soon as well as a rather large read of how, why, and where stuff I'm doing helps gameplay, etc.

You guys did a hell of a lot of things right in CA. A hell of a lot of things are great. There are just some things that seem to have been overlooked.

As I said, I'll have a full workup for you soon (and most of the grunt work will already be done for you, so that's kinda nice

).

Mobile dt & Dragons teeth being unreclaimable & uncrushable = complete fail.

Other than that, it plays nice.
