Spring RTS Engine

hey. i did search for a post on this. but with no luck.. sorry if this has already been asked and answered anywere else...

well here goes...

with handicap's... so far ive figured out it gives the player extra energy and metal at the start of the game.. but what other benifits does the handicap give a player.

ive been giving a few new players some handicap untill they get used to the game. but have no idea what benifits there getting. and well was just curious. lol.

handicap increases your income by whatever percentge you set, it isnt lump sum :p

wasnt it something about buildtime too? IIRC AF said his bots reclaim faster with handicap..

The handicap allies to reclaiming wrecks etc, you with a 100% handicap, if you reclaim a wreck worth 100 metal, you'll actually recive 200 metal.

Pretty sure handicap dosent affect builder time..

2 arm commanders at full health, oen with 300x handicap one with 0 handicap, both start reclaiming eachother at the same time, both have 0 expereince.

The handicapped commander reclaims at a ludicrous rate, and the other commander is gone before the handicapped commanders hp reaches 40%.

Simply put, if an enemy NTai commander approaches you with cheating turned on, run away, because your only chance in hell of not having your com reclaimed is dgunning it, and if it gets within build range your buggered a it'll chase while reclaiming.
