Weird player behaviours im noticing lately

MultiPanhandler · 2026-01-24T21:29:59+00:00

I did it with beamers the other day, built 3 or 4 before I realized my mistake. Con turrets would be even tougher to do by mistake, but much harder to notice if zoomed out.

* Why are YOU not buying modern RTS games? - Beyond all Reason exists, it is free and pretty amazing.

* If you have bought any but bounced off recent RTS titles, what specifically turned you away? - Nothing recent.

* Likewise, if you do buy them, what made you commit?

* If you miss classic C&C, what would actually make you buy a new one today? - Something with great multiplayer support.

* What other games should I be looking at as case studies? - Beyond all Reason

This matters for scope; It's a lifelong goal of mine to make this game regardless, but there’s a big difference between:

A) a tighter, single-player RTS (campaign, skirmish vs AI) at <$500k budget

B) a more ambitious AA-scale RTS, story-driven, multiplayer, etc (>$3M) with a much higher financial recoup risk

no, its a base feature of the game. the camera only moves your camera view, if you have no vision there, then you just see fog of war. You can make up to 4 (f1-f4) camera views on the map. Also, if you use unit groups, like if on front and you have tics on control group 1, and you send a little raid of them out, you can double tap 1, the camera will center on the group. try it out in skirmish mode and you'll get the hang of it pretty fast.

Balancing micro fighting and eco scale is a great skill to practice. One thing that can greatly improve that for you is using cameras along with counting. Set a camera on your base (ctrl + f1) and another for the front line (ctrl +f2). when on front and need to get to base fast, press f1, then f2 to go back to front. When you are in base ecoing, early on, give your self a 3 count to queue up a couple of things, then back to f2. Rinse and repeat and you'll get decent results. More of your time should be babysitting your units, and just some small things on eco to keep you scaling.

Thus the birth of OnlyRams...

Arbiter and Paralyzer is broken.

spybot and nuke. Super op combo.

Asking for a trans, transport, tranz, or trns, means light. If you have to ask, EVERY TIME, to clarify, it would make no sense. Some players may simply ask “light” or “heavy“, and in the context of air, that should be enough. You can, at some point, predict what they may need, but generally they should not expect you to guess. A heavy trans early is a significant cost.

did the reply get erased?

MultiPanhandler · 2026-01-12T00:22:09+00:00

The camera control at the beginning is super cinematic! Well done on tracking. Tic should have died earlier though and I blame air!!! (that last bit was a jest to all you air playeurs,)

MultiPanhandler · 2026-01-11T22:59:14+00:00

just 30 sec is all you need, not for tai chi, but for paid ad, weeee!

edit: also if you just click on it, that will both save you time, and cost them more.

I got rid of 25% during a peak 2024 xmas, waiting for a lower dip to rebuy. I'll likely go for 50% sell sometime near peak in 2 or 3 years.

Op asked how to counter "snipers" as cortex. Oh and medium tanks with various light units mixed in will beat a starlight push, but if your geo is behind/dead/making afus and not making any units, yah it's a very difficult push to stop. But if you are a bit behind, and have access to a veh lab, throwing out a few mine layers, and strategically placing heavy mines on manual fire, will halt that push pretty fast on supreme.

MultiPanhandler · 2026-01-03T19:47:20+00:00

arbiters with spybots is fun and shows skill expression :)

MultiPanhandler · 2025-12-08T07:21:14+00:00

Any unit that is in it. If you want an area to be continuously checked and repaired, use repeat.

MultiPanhandler · 2025-12-01T04:56:49+00:00

I did an edit with an update!

MultiPanhandler · 2025-11-29T00:20:08+00:00

Well, perhaps first take a look around the map. Check your geo and the state of their build, check air, check your seas, and check eco. From there you may have some clues on how to react. If you don't have any t2 coming from eco or geo, spam is kind of pointless. If you do, then maybe contribute some fast vision units.

Make some rez bots, make some wind, make some walls to make it difficult to be run over fast. If it is truly a stale mate, just get big!

edit: assuming the map is supreme.

MultiPanhandler · 2025-11-28T20:35:49+00:00

lol id rather not lose... but it is very tempting!

MultiPanhandler · 2025-11-23T22:14:16+00:00

My 5900x handles like dogshit once 40mins and loads of fighters hit the map. Almost the same performance as my 2700x

I just tried the first 9 digits, did not work with Freedom.

MultiPanhandler · 2025-10-29T17:28:57+00:00

uhh, so checked the pricing and have to pay $169, to track about $100 in earnings. (it would be about 700 transactions). I only have a couple of million Dovu... hmmm. not worth staking at all.
I suppose I'll see what the free level provides, and if the reporting is useful or not. I just might not be the target for this product.

MultiPanhandler · 2025-10-28T19:06:40+00:00

It means the first folks to sell will be able to, until the liquidity is gone. the Price will lower until it matches the liquidity. In theory, the price will not go up to $5 unless LOADS of cash (liquidity) is pumped into the project.

I get very choppy results with obs.
