New Player, question about difficulty.

[shilling]

So i just picked up this game, and started playing. However, i can only play for about 5 minutes until a swarm of red dots destroy me. I get raped so fast, and i was just wondering if there was any way i could change the dificulty of this game?

Single player against an AI? Give youself a handicap and start spamming more yourself. Or play CA, NOTA, or BA vs. chickens / space bugs on easy mode.

destroyed by red dots? sounds like the measles :D

not sure which mod/game you're playing, but often the best way to learn if you're completely new is to go into an online game with experienced players and spec.

a decent rule of thumb while playing RTS games is to balance your attacking power (mobile units) with your defending power (mobile and immobile units) and your economy (the way you get the units in the first place)

if you're playing a TA based game, you can't go wrong with a starting build like three metal extractors, three basic solars, and a lab of some type... make some tanks, make some constructors, a few towers, and quickly move along to capture and claim more metal spaces.

what mod is the chickens or spacebugs or whatever?

[lurker]

CA has chickens built in. Add AI in the lobby. They are space creatures that attack you over time.
NOTA has space bugs as iirc a seperate download. Same kind of thing.
BA has chickens as a seperate download. Same thing.

Fibre has hostiles which must be assigned to a TestGlobalAI bot, Kernel Panic includes its own AI.
