For non serious games.. An all upgrades mod, which let's ACUs get conflicting upgrades simultaneously at some expensive rate. Shielded, Billy, Tele UEF ACU. Cloaked, Mazer, Tele Cybran ACU. Etc.

A mod that increases damage by +5% (or +10%) for each veterancy level, but not for all units, only for those added to the list or those whose Blueprints it's added.

Let me explain. For example, the Total Mayhem mod has a lot of "experimental" T1-T2-T3 units, but their relevance quickly fades. This kind of damage bonus could greatly enhance them and encourage players to use and level them up wisely.

If you haven't try the total Veterancy mod.

A very different option is to make a Handicap sim mod, which nerfs players to earn lower eco income throughout the game. This could be a nice way to challenge more experienced players.

Probably impossible with the core codebase, it would be fun to have a "tilt shift" view making it appear you are looking down at a mini world.

Wikipedia example:

All units grow in size as the vet

Not a solution, but a workaround is to turn off T1 spam land, air, and navy units. You can find this in Restrictions under game options. This may help as slowdown in AI games seems to be clogged units trying to pathfind.

Interesting. Is there some context around this?

interesting!

HBO in network security

What is "an HBO in network security"?

@Cyborg16 Some people don't value sportsmanship.

I don't like SMD auotmatically attacking SAT because it would drain SMD. Could we make it a fire option?

I think he is referring to playing online and people ALT-F4 to leave the end of the game early. This causes the game to hang, unresponsive. There can be no way to exit.

Does this occur when you play a local game (no other human players)?

Thank you for Uveso!

Also, there is a super cool replay analysis tool which can show you across many game how quickly someone built Mavor or Yolo etc.. https://kazbek.github.io/FAF-Analytics/ReplayAnalysis

Unfortunately it is not working at the moment, perhaps due to the DDOS attack on FAF.

37 is a somewhat slow. 30 is a good time.

And you probably know..
Typically you should rally your team to help too (give them hives and/or ask them to give mass).
And, best to not assume at the start a Mavor is always the right answer (e.g. opponent North side is late to anti nuke, a teammate is crippled in a way which will lose the game, etc.)
And, it is a big mistake to build a game ender without shields, shield assist ready, and teledefense... even if it takes a little longer.

@Brutus5000 Consider adding an idiot proof notification system of some kind. People who find they can't join games may not be aware of Discord, these forums, etc.

FYI - I have experienced this too. SMD was loaded, not overwhelmed, in range, not against a teammate, etc.. Just flat didn't react to incoming nukes. I know this isn't helpful without a replay ID.

@Kilatamoro said in You guys ever thought if moving to a new engine?:

@Defiant Why would anyone want this? It's about the feeling of the game, not 3D models and unit names. We can get free from copyright.

Reasonable.

Games similar to FAF are out there now. A more direct FAF clone might still risk Square Enix, so we could give them license accountability.

@FtXCommando said in You guys ever thought if moving to a new engine?:

Because doing that is going to end in BAR getting a cease and desist from Square Enix for using their platform to give away their IP for free.

Would adding the same Steam integration game check requirement solve this? I suppose the question is really to Square Enix who aren't predictable.
