Required rating for participation in balance talks when?

respect 60 ! (i'm 46). Played Total Annihilation a lot with my brother on local network...
1v1 rating 800+, proud of me with an old brain, degraded eyes and 20 apm : )
Let's create a veteran rating ! (in fact most of our age don't care at all about rating)

Hello fellow kids. I myself am a young person with rizz and a tiktok. However, I have it on good authority that some boomers came to FAF out of nostalgia for the days they played Total Annihilation on Kali.

38

not funny didnt laugh

  1. player from Netherlands.

If you just pay attention to the way people type I would say the average age of a faf player is a 30 year old millennial

put the xbox units in the game pls u_u

i heard there are ppl here 60+

@zob been playing Total Annihilation when it first came out. Weekly units were being added to the game by the developers and over 60!

@sladow-noob you can add me to your list šŸ™‚

@gnaag I'm with you don't care either much on ratings. More important is to have fun playing this great game.

after finding it rather scary I just started playing the matchmaking queue, 40 years old

Over 40 here, don't have the best APM but being able to read the field of battle and strategise compensates for that (on a good day!)

I've been crawling across the earth since 1970 šŸ˜„

Currently 62.

I think I'm the oldest person playing FAF. I am 82 and still enjoy playing video games. I have been playing FAF since 2013 and played Forged Alliance since it was published in 2007. I started in college playing board games that are battle simulations back in the early 1960s. We used to talk about the possibility of playing games online when the first personal computers came out. Got my first PC in 1995 and immediately stated playing some the early DOS games like DOOM, Dark Forces, Quake, etc. I even tried a few strategy games and was hooked on the Civilization series for years, including playing CivNet with friends on closed networks after work. When I tried Supreme Commander I was totally hooked on it and followed with Forged Alliance. That's when I started playing online strategy games with FA my favorite after the multiplayer version of Civilization. When FAF came out and I discovered it in 2013, I was overjoyed and have been playing it ever since.

BTW I'm a PhD physicist and I retired at the age of 76 after 50 years working in the field.

Thanks for making me feel young again šŸ˜„
