Spring RTS Engine

just shifting through it seems comm bombing is a much dispised thing as a reply to this i think that the commander should leave behind a corpse this would also be an advantage as if you are rushed in early game when you get farks up and running you can get your comm back.
but if someone wants to comm bomb its like giving your opponent 2 commanders to play with..=]

Comms leave a corpse in AA already. Is this a suggestion for XTA?

The solution that everybody adopted in relation to this in the TA community was to only play Commander Death = Ends rules. Anybody who played Continues was dismissed as a noobie.

You could take out Commander Continues as a multiplayer option (and leave it in for singleplayer/skirmish).

The only issue with Commander Death = Ends is in 2vs2's and 3vs3's one of the players can give all his units to his ally, stick his commander in an atlus, and bomb one of the opponents commanders.

I'm not sure how you can get around that one. Some bad sports will always try those kind of things I suppose.

Generally in TA tournaments the rule is your Commander isn't allowed in the enemies start position for the first 10 minutes. The player who d-guns the other persons Commander loses. And whoever blows up first is the loser, even if they take out the oppoenents commander. Otherwise, anything goes.

oh yeh sorry should probaly repost this in the mod section

in spring xta at least though ive been playing for about a year and had maybe 3 at most comm= death.. as in ealry game its easy to rush with planes and lvl 1 gunships.

this is just my alternative solution. and i personally i dont see a flaw in it.. well thats mainly because its my idea (others have probably thaught it up long before i did though for AA) any criticisms welcome =]
