Spring RTS Engine

i more and more see this "tactic" these days. it leads to the enemy having 2 advanced fusionreactors before i even have a normal geothermal... dont like this very much but i also dont like playing comm ends. perhaps the metal value of the commader is a bit too high...
want to know what you think about it.

People are using this tactic on maps other than green fields now??

seen it on small supreme for example

game ends FTW

Don't you need a lot of metal storage to manage this?

Put threads like this in the AA discussion, please. Not all mods have this problem, thx k bbye...

without a commander to protect your base early game its very easy to be killed off losing a comm is losing a unique unit that can kill any other unit ingame with ease

game ends is the solution, but if often leads to comm-hunting... i'm just not sure if this reclaiming of the own bombed commander can be called a tactic like all the others or if it should be prevented to do so...

So hide it, make fake comms, cloack him, make some aa defence around him. It isn't hard. I lost game just because someone hunted my comm in like 2-3 games in half year.

i dont mind this tac, its risky after all. If u scout well and see this then go ahead and rush him .

Agreed, you may not even need to scout, its hard to miss an enemy comm exploding he makes a massive black holey thing on the map, and then it takes ages to reclaim. I dont think its too much of a prob

I think thinking like this should be encouraged rather than nerfed.

Ehh, I leave com wrecks for munkeys to come and try to get...

OH NOEZ STOP CAMPING TEH COMZ WRECKZ!

AA and a few LLT/HLT's around a com wreck FTW!

XD

Edit: Of course after A while reclaim it, when you have the storage

Comm ends was standard in OTA online games for nearly 7 years (basically the whole time TA has been alive). Its like that for a reason.


I tihnk spring will eventually learn that comm ends is best; however, it will be an evolutoin to that point...

I personally find that Comm Ends is great... for small games. For big games, it's rather a waste.

Ends for 1v1 and Continues for team games. Playing ends on team games will often end in someone who is about to lose their comm sharing all their units with an ally and that pretty much circumvents it - except the bomber dosent get to play anymore. But as a team they lose little.

yup i have no problems with com ends in 1v1, but for team games continues all the way, if you have a crap ally and he foolishly loses his com to something he shouldn't, it can be pretty damn annoying to see one of your flanks dissappear and enemy units pouring into your base...

com continues ftw!

More fun!
Better tactics!
And the game isnt ruined becuse someone lost a unit!

it's not a unit, it's YOU ffs.

WORD!

so what?


i dont give a damn about that, it IS a unit, a special one perhaps, but i dont want my game ruined just becuase it died.
