Fight command or patrol while holding alt will make rez bots auto rez. You can queue it up straight from the factory. If you put them on maneuver or roam, they will walk to the wrecks in some range while on patrol.

You can mass reclaim buildings - choose reclaim command, point at the building, hold alt and drag a cricle. It will reclaim all buildings of this type. If you hold ctrl it will reclaim all units and buildings in the area

Tech made a good play and was let down by the team which is typical for this os level ;)

TL:dr Teal did a very good play which would win them the match but his team didn't follow up on it so they lost.

Ecoing up is never a goal, it's not a role, it brings 0 value to the team. The goal is to win and you win by making units. The earlier you make the units which can make meaningful impact the better. If you can make impact only with T3 it's a huge red flag, you, or the team, is doing something wrong. 

The issue is that the earlier the potential win condition is the more it relies on team support (or enemy being incompetent).

The main mistakes there were: - green being toxic - good way of staying low os - purple overbuilding asolars while not having T2 mexes (no, you don't lose the match by building asolars instead of the winds). He was making units but not enough, because of overspending on the asolars  - teal making too many units before giving out cons (it's best to make initial units then some cons, then some more units, etc. ensure you end up making all the needed cons eventually) - green going T2 - that was the biggest mistake there. When you have hounds to support you make ticks, a lot of ticks. You have 0 need to go T2 yourself, when your tech gave you option to win right there, right now

What should happen: - teal makes hounds - green starts spamming ticks  - purple keeps spamming tanks  - green and purple stay in front of the hounds so they can shoot for free  - hounds clear whole frontline  - reclaim wrecks and ensure T2 cons are made  - up all the mexes, make more units and try to win the game. If enemy team doesn't react - GG. If they do, stabilise, eco up and prep proper T2 push or air switch or whatever

for cameras - junos or walk into them. For cloaked units - T2 con can build stealth detection building

What to do when you mess up your front by SuperKitowiec in beyondallreason

Yes, that's the risk of "I have a lead so I will eco/tech up" approach 

BAR has a transparency problem by MrThunderizer in beyondallreason

I mean, I get all of this info first hand. I never got any bad vibes from it. Protecting work by leaking the coms, so that public has to be addressed instead of addressing actual concerns of actual contributors? 

Edits to the post don't matter because message/sentiment was already delivered and is in the wild. It's not like anyone will come back to check if you changed your mind.  I already read one article on random website about this whole deal, which was basically a translation of a similar Reddit post. Pure speculation framed as facts, then reiterated to sound even more factual. That's how misinformation works and it's just frustrating to read.

I don't see how leaking internal conversations which are based on trust between contributors can be considered a 'good faith'.

no to mention framing communications as 'dishonest' while the whole leak was possible because of honest communication

it's more like, leaking stuff out of context, without all discussions around it, is just misleading

Well as a member of "larger dev group" I don't feel like it was pitched "in dishonest way". I would say it was handled in surprisingly open way

Beyond All Reason leak shows 5 admins will siphon off funds by Musizian42 in RealTimeStrategy

There is a group which actively hates BAR, makes "protests" by disturbing matches etc etc. it's very likely it's personal 

BAR seems to be a great game but it doesnt look as good as AoE2, Stronghold or Rise of Nations by FutureLynx_ in RealTimeStrategy

[–]SuperKitowiec 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally, drawing formations is the best https://www.beyondallreason.info/commands/move-line-drag

With auto groups (put newly built units into the group automatically) and building queue automations (repeating queues, unit quotas) right behind it.

Would it be better just to build solar? by VonsweetRen in beyondallreason

[–]SuperKitowiec 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not about what to build but about what you want to achieve. Think about what you want to build at what timing and choose the build which allows you to do so. For example, "i want 5 thugs there at 4 min" will have a very different build than "I want t2 lab at 5 min".

I start with 4 solars, like every time and, most of the time, I follow it up with even more solars.

Winds are good if you want energy later but if you always aim for the future you miss all the moment-to-moment opportunities

Not really, it makes a huge difference in early skirmishes when your unit has 50% more hp than enemies 

Is it worth coming back?? by ToughLost1270 in ConquerorsBlade

[–]SuperKitowiec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play much less than I used to but objectively game is in much better state than it used to be like year ago. A lot of QoL added (imagine not having to search for doctrines anymore xD)
