Spring RTS Engine

Ive played huge games ive played small games ive played alot and ive generally come to the conclusion that

2v2 - 3v3/4v4 on maps around the 12*12 range play the best why?

ive been speccing a few and the games seemed to be more action packed with less porcing cos the bases r closer together and less metal spots and space = the need fore more expand

also games lag considerably less and the games run smooth porc fests on dsd and other maps end in horrible lag most of the time

played a few 3v3 on archers field no1s cpu went over 12 percetn( playing CA) the game run perfect no lag and t1/t2 was used so it wasnt just a tier 1 spam rush

imo this game needs more competitve maps around the 12*12 range big maps just lag alot and 4v4/3v3 is a nice standard

thats just my opinion and yer big epic battles on big maps r fun once i a while

play other mods foo...

> 3v3/4v4 is usually boring because of lag IMHO

Yet the majority of players seem to prefer 5v5 or 8v8 games.

*Always on DSD of course.

Or is it just that not enough people host, so players join the first game they see space on in BA, which is almost always a DSD game that has just finished.

1v1

I enjoy a variety of sizes, but as the true challenge for me is that of effective teamwork, I favour 2v2 to 4v4 depending on the game.

The best games I've played have been 1v1v1, and 1v1v1v1, at least in BloX, I don't like the team games, I like working on my own and scouting out and slowly encroaching.

Ah, to play BloX again...

i do play other mods but most of the non ta mods are not done yet or arent public yet i played EE 0.23 and it was fun didnt get much games tho

but on topic :p

as much as epicness is win

smaller battles r more fun to play/watch and more tactical and much less porc

i think the lack of decent small maps in the size range is the problem people r always out to make epic 16*16 or bigger maps need smaller maps if i wasnt busy modelling and trying to make my own mod i woulld do it myself ;s

gief more 12*12!!!

4v4 is my favorite size for XTA
2v2 for cool for SWTA, s44
EE is better the bigger the game

oh... ive played many 8v8 games without much lag
i love big games... should be possible 16v16 >_>

its just fun to see 15 people combombing, and i survive... can you imagine that... yeah... play speedball :D

I think 2v2 with Lionheart on any map are the best games tbh.

small maps 1v1 or 3FFA for the win.

I like games with loads of people... This way if I screw things up I wont necessarly lose... :) Only bad part is that if my allies screw things up I have to go help him...

1v1 / 2v2/ 3v3/ 4v4 on comet is pure gold <3
