because i am resonably good at it and i like being good at something... also i like the controlls, new UI mods improve things, tho i am so lazy to set them up and set up hotkeys...
I like to invent new strategies, and not sure that everything has been tryed already. even small balance changes can help with that. I did brutalize some players with aeon ghetto or restorer + airstaging creep.

sometimes like one in a 100 games you get to have some bizzare epic games, or at least something cool happens and i like this stuff too. And i mean epic games more in a sence of constant action and back and forward stuff...

i kinda miss basetrades, it feels like they no longer happen at all

some long time ago someone suggested making gateway unassistable

completely removing them will make some people angry i beleave

Getting 100 games to stop being grey sounds hard... maybe we should count ladder and tmm games toward gamecount too?

1. Sacrifice uses cost of the unit to calculate how much resources will be added
2. different sacu presets count as separate units with different costs

Line between this being bug or feature here is really small
Tho cause there are multiple tutorials about this on youtube and it was featured in multiple casts i consider this being a feature.

UI mod idea: a patrol that does not make unit follow enemy units. so basicly move orders instead of attack-move-orders.
uses:

1. autododge mmls, t1 arty and maybe other things, (frigate vs arty vs bomber vs mmls for example)
2. ASFS and inties don't chase enemy units to enemy AA
3. maybe other cases when you want to have units follow certain move orders and not diverge from them to chase random stuff

Could be implemented by clicking move orders and then pressing certain hotkey to make it into patrol or making a patrol and pressing hotkey and turining it into a non agressive patrol

i am taking a break from faf atm... not sure when gonna come back, but i certanely plan to come back

mod that would prevent you from acccidentally canceling your HQ by assisting other factory with the HQ

Wasn't there an attack and also a attack move?
Here are some facts:

1. 95%+ people use alt + right click for attack move
2. There are two attack modes. regular one and groundfire one...
   Difference between them is that you can't groudfire in regular mode.. but also in groundfire mode clicking attack results in attacking ground. in regular mode attacknig ground results in attack move...
   As far as i remember devs someday decided to make groundfire mode to be default, cause they just never know that someone uses left click for attck-move.

So before that change there were many people using UI mod that puts units in groundfire mod by default.
Now if you want to attack move with left click you need to put your units in regular mode, instead of groundifre mode... i think there must be a UI mod that can do that for you automaticly.... i think "UI Party" can do that but not sure

You can filter by rating in this nice app.

If there was need to change something i'd give some analog of sparky to aeon... maybe with greater sacrifice capabilities... maybe long range, maybe something else...
and maybe give sera sacus greater base buildpower... but not sure if there is a need for that

@weegogs said in Forged Alliance CD Version:

i have forged alliance from a cd-key in steam but when i try to link my account to faforever it can't find it

make sure that your account it public with means that anyone can see what games you have, after you finished linking account you can hide game list again

When you have this Nvidia driver problem it is REALLY noticable that everything is freezing when you move your cursor, even if you have very good PC, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6Dx2vW_scA here is a video with ryzen 2600 + rtx 3060ti showing that problem.
if your game does not freeze when you move cursor then you probably don't have such problem

If you have this problem you can update to newest Nvidia drivers, cause apparently they recently have just fixed that issue.
If that didn't help you can try to use that d3d_WindowsCursor command to see if it helps. If it help you can use Nvidia fix mod that just enters that command automaticly at the beginning of each game.

If newerst drivers and nvidia fix didn't help and you still have this problem you should look for special topic about it, there were more solutions, i think you can disable some nvidia container service and it would help, or at worst case just install old drivers.

Not needed.
Not recomended.
it is something that was fixed in the windows XP era or might even be just some rumors, you don't need such patches anymore.
If you game is crashing there might be other reasons like mods or audio settings (5.1 or 7.1 sound causes crashes) or dual monitor setup when game is on two monitors of different resolution.

replay? screenshot? video? what EXACTLY has happened? How many nukes at once? Nukes from nuke launchers? from submarines? from battleships? any mods used? maybe nuke was at the edge of antinuke range but barely outside?

My suspicion is that sometimes antinukes may think that other antinuke is goin to take care of that missile, or antinuke missile may hit something on itsway up or sometimes, but quite rarely antinuke missile misses nuke missile

so i can signup right? i wanna participate but just have no time to play ladder right now

Engineers only reclaim when storage is below 80 or 75% (don't remember for sure)
So if, for example you have full mass bar engineers will stop reclaiming wrecks and srones and will only reclaim trees.
Trees give mass and power so if both mass and power storages are full on 80% or above, enginners will stop reclaiming

it was cool in original supcom... it kinda artificially makes game little bit deeper cause you need to know all those small changes.
but FA is already pretty complex... also changes like that would require a quite some work to find out how much it actually changes things and re-calculate how many kills it takes to kill every t1, t2 unit... what would new lobo HP be? 120 damage would also mean that ACU of only one faction can 3-shot uef/sera t1 maa... what about aeon lab? i do like all those little quirks, but not conviced that they are needed and that others like them...

CPU score is not that great at mesuring performance.
afaik any new CPU would do just fine.
any intel CPU 4th gen and higher or any ryzen CPU.

Tho i have seen few complains about ryzen 2500u (or something like that) not being as amazing as they expected (but it can be due to laptop cooling design)

There were some more... conclusion is that memory performace is also very important

Talking about something like 4v4s
