    What I am wondering about is after that expense is paid in full is there some sort of upkeep taken from your resources? Or could that possably be tied with the amount of units you have fielded?

    Typicly RTS games have a penilty for having X amount of units out at any given time.

    While I have seen such a mechanic used before, I would go far as to say RTS's typically use it; since none of our "age" games used it. As for HW there is no continuing upkeep cost for units or tech levels.

    Yes a system like that isnt used in any of the AoE games nor in the C&C games. However I do find it alot in most of the other RTS games out there, SoSE, Spellforce, Warcraft, StarCraft and assorted other lesser known titles.

    It is almost a pitty as it seriously affects resource allocation. But I suppose I will live.

    Re: Ask a Mod: holiday edition.

    Hey Paragon, do you think the game when playing campaign or co-op or multi, will there be any strategy that players need to think up or can you like build up alot (and I mean alot) of 1 unit and rush them to the enemy and win?

    Re: Ask a Mod: holiday edition.

    Paragon, do you see yourself doing any other RTS related projects with the future company after Ensembles shut down? 
    Well moderators, you managed to ban the people who didn't do a *** thing, congratulations..

    What is your opinion of the a.i in skirmish battles?

     In most rts games, the a.i would send a medium amount of units to attack your base. Never alot where you are overwhelmed. Just a decent amount.

    I am not the best RTS player out there, so your results may vary, but i find the it very hard to win if I set the AI to the hardest level.

    Re: Ask a Mod: holiday edition.

    1. Can you keep going if you still have units left after all of your bases were destroyed. like if you had one of those foruner supply things captured and had a elefent and some other units.

    2. can you give other members of your team units that only a certin leaders can make.

    No.

    I don't know if there will be an update, page or what to kick off the leader discussion, but I do know no such action will happen this month.

    Hmm. My cryptic answer to that is; you will have to play the game to find out.

    Re: Ask a Mod: holiday edition.

    Happy Holidays! 

    Now for the question period.

    Do you think its time to switch to the signature 2.2 thread?  Ya know the one NT made but you locked it.

    Because the new one is over 100 pages and could use a new beginning.

     

    Also is this thread going to ONLY be active during the holiday season, or will you just change the name of it and keep it pinned at the top so people can refer themselves here? 


    Thanks Ryzza & Mr. Bacon for teaching me how to make these

    I don't like cryptic answers but I'll guess that would just have to do.

     

    Another question: What are the chances of seeing more Map Remakes like Blood Gulch? Any Sidewinder, Headlong or Sandtrap even Standoff on the Horizon?

    Re: Ask a Mod: holiday edition.

    Could you say what the final grunt upgrade is?

    Because in the field manual there are thumbnails beside one of the drawings that depict, what looks like to me, upgrades.

    And the last one looks as if the grunt is holding two guns, or has some type of body armor.

    Thanks joker!
