Spring RTS Engine

In SVN that might be possible, I haven't tested it but manualBombSettings, your desired reload time and a long burstrate (determines the bomb drop radius) should make it possible. The problem is that queued attack commands get worked down with one shot/burst each instead of a whole run so I'm not sure what will happen when you queue orders.

So what would be the best AI to use in conjunction with this mod?

Both KAI and RAI can be effective with large handicaps and superior teams, in terms of AI number.

Why do banishers have 2 missiles when they're built, and after you fire them, they're never seen again?

It seems rather stupid.

Wouldn't surprise me if the command to show them again is in FireWeapon. Spring conveniently assumes any part that gets shown in FireWepaon is a flare so it refuses to show the part and instead spawns one of those ugly smoke pillar things.

Does it happen to Merl/Diplomats too?

Those vehicles have dummy objects that dissappear, and reappear once they've reloaded, as far as I can remember they work just fine..

Its not some bug or error, its just the way the script is set up. I believe the missiles were out of sequence with the firing and so this was 'fixed' by just preventing them from being shown ever again after the first time they are fired.

Shouldn't they be always hidden or always shown then? would make more sense...

I think I found another minor flaw:
The Arm Rector corpse gives 312 metal, its heap 156. Building it now just costs 102 metal. You though won't make any profit from it recently as the FBI doesn't include a corpse but maybe you fix it now just in case you want to introduce it again in the future...

Ok - here are some more things you might want to fix:

Wrong metal in corpse_dead (though pretty irrelevant most times):
- Core Necro
- Arm Thunder
- Core Vamp
- Core Avenger

Corpses (_dead) that aren't needed:
- corfhpE/W (this means corfhpe_dead and corfhpw_dead)
- corgantE/N/W
- landmine
- armlabE/W
- armalabE/W
- armasyE/N/W
- armavpE/N/W
- armsyE/N/W
- armvpE/N/W
- corakick
- coralabE/N/W
- corasy E/N/W
- coravpE/N/W
- corlabE/W
- corsyE/N/W
- corvpE/N/W
- corhpE/W
- armvader_dead (there is a armvader_corpse which is correct as the _dead version misses the model call)

Corpses I don't know what they are for (so there's not just a corpse entry but also a 3do model):
- armgant_dead
- castle_dead

Superfluous units (most times models with corpse model, corpse entry plus a COB-script):
- armscorp
- armtick
- corbeac
- cormlk
- corscorp
- tawf103
- aHermes
- corbuild
- corebfort (a whole collection)
- armbfort (also a whole collection of em)
- corplas

In case you haven't notice, this thread is about BA.

If you want discussion about other mod, open new thread.

In case you haven't noticed, sky annihilation is about BA.

If you want to be condescending to other posters, use PMs.

The same applies to you, lurker.

Sky Annihilation is an attempt to balance BA, but if NOiZE objects to the inclusion of SA in this thread, we can split it off.

Hmm... a need to balance Balanced annihilation... That sounds like a phail somewhere...

Just kidding NoiZe, BA is balanced, and I probably will never try SA.

I don't like mods where the entire changelog can be shortened to "nerfed Core by a lot".

Yes, very well said.

Ok maybe I was a bit to harsh, but it looks like new fork to me.

Balanced Balanced Annihilation already exists, however it's still in testing stages (and after that Balanced Balanced Balanced Annihilation).
