Last time balance team reworked it I suggested to redus its damage to symbolic 100, but add EMP with decent AOE to this unit.

This way you can use Fire Beetles:

1. Stun groups of enemy units or PDs when getting in close range with your army
2. Save units on retreat. For example avoid enemy units to catch Hoplites

Instead of killing something with Fire Beetle you stun it and kill with something else. No sniping ACU or eco structures, only useful against units and PDs.

How do I link youtube on this forum?

May as well just keep things as it is. It's more fun without Fire Beetles right?

Ah lovely shitstorm. And this ugly forum...

Yes, I did post announcement about Sanctuary RTS in Ru discord. Because I considered it to be a FAF project in a first place. It is being developed by people who worked on FAF here and there, it was planned to be free to play an it is being created based on community feedback (which mainly consists of FAF players). (correction i had info about it being f2p by the moment i posted it, but apparently it isn't - my bad XD)

Creating mod based on 15 years old game engine with its source code being held in Square Enix is better?

Then why posting about Plannetary annihilation on forums wasn't a problem when kickstarter campaing took place? If it wasn't for FAF i would never knew about PA. If it wasn't for FAF i would never knew about Zero-K when it got steam release.

The discord post i made is not a problem of this conversation and i'm going to tell you why. What happened to it? It is still there!

It is already second post about Sanctuary RTS and they both are still there! Nobody tried to reach me about it. Nobody tried to give me a warning after posting them. Nobody tried to ask or force me to remove them. Very likely nobody reached ZLO or Sid so they remove it instead of me.

When this council shitstorm started nine reached me and in result i had to change some parts of text.

I was open for chat and waiting for someone knocking on my doorstep trying to threaten me, but nobody did. Because NOBODY ACTUALLY CARES!

Instead some councilors use this post to throw shit at each other in public. This proves that the actual issue is personal relationships between multiple mature people.

And btw, Louvenarde wrote FAF rules and FtXCommando using links to those rules after he pushed her out of FAF is kinda funny...

haha

haha

Tournament directors: SiwaonaDaphnewen (Apofenas), Inspektor_Kot
Challonge will be announced by the start of the tournament. IRC channel won’t be used, instead we’re going to use tournament channels in Russian discord (https://discord.gg/rW6AHqr).

Description:
Last month we ran test tournament for low-rated players for Russian community. This time we got some funding and doing same for all FAF players.
Tournament will take place in Rus discord, but not exclusive for Russian only.
This tournament will have swiss-style or round-robin format depending on how many players we get. This is based on suggestions from last tournament so participants could accumulate replay base and ask personal trainers for analysis. (you will likely have to play 5-6 games during tournament regardless of results)
Game rules are not standard, so take a look at details below. In short, time for game is limited, you get 20 minutes to kill opponent and if none of players succeeds – map starts shrinking every 5 minutes until 25% of map is left (min 40). Maps will be generated so there’s land in center of map. - this way we limit round length. Previously participants didn't even live long enough to see first shrink

• Desynchs and disconnects before minute 3 count as draw;
• Desynchs and disconnects after min 3 count aren’t replayed, winner is decided based on FAF vault results;
• VPN is restricted;
• All players may be checked for rating manipulations, smurfing or giving their account to other players;
• Situations that weren’t listed in rules will be decided by tournament directors.

Game rules:
