Scripting + Map-mods.

You have to *have* one.

It takes a lot of time for a new player to realize that recycling your droids doesn't waste experience, but instead recycled experience is transfered to newly produced units. This is mostly important in campaign. Suggestion: in the production tab, draw the highest recycled experience icon near every...

My best idea here is pretty dumb - in skirmish/multiplayer, change commanders to simply buff surrounding units in a certain radius, like an aura, without any "attach to commander" mechanics.

The reason of their usability is focus fire You should do that and much more than that when you micromanage your army manually, otherwise your army would die horribly against a smaller army. That makes command turrets much worse than manual micromanagement because they prevent you from doing anythi...

Campaign and skirmish players (aka "most players") don't have any problems with needing to update as long as the old version is working; only multiplayer people do, and even then, only some of them. Updating is not that hard, even if you're compiling the game from source. I was always in f...

It was never usable. You just don't accumulate enough experience in a single multiplayer match to make the experience bonuses outweight terrible micromanagement that the command turret performs over your units. These changes mean pretty much nothing, they were not intended to provide balance. A sign...

As far as i understand, they're almost there, finishing off a few known bugs. We never had frequent releases. The hard parts are always in multiplayer (fighting de-synchronization, and pre-release testing is hard to get because all players need to be on the same commit [1] ) and campaign (lots of un...

Yup, dumping sensitive information into a separate stream (that your *units* don't read) should be possible. But that's quite minor, i.e. it only skews the balance of skills a little, you still need to play almost as well as your opponent in order to win. Scouting is not *that* important in Warzone....

Some players feel cheated. Cheating has been pretty much eliminated since 3.1 by introducing the new synchronous network engine. Every unexpected change in the game state on one of the machines, including visibility cheating, would expose itself as a desync warning (which immediately indicates who ...

If it's intended to require the HQ in the master version, why is it not in 3.2.3? Because it's a regression in 3.2. The original game, as well as all previous versions, did require HQ for designing. This game rule is in fact pretty weird, but most people seem to agree that it's kinda good to keep b...

The in-game screenshot key is F10. As a last resort, take a photo of your monitor.

I never noticed this problem with units. That's probably because i almost always use either rectangle selection or hotkeys (control groups, retreat commands, select-all-..., etc.) to select my units. It makes little sense to me, mechanics-wise, to select individual units, especially when it comes to...

Please bring this to the campaign testing thread.

Even NoQ used it in his walkthrough on youtube (see beta 7 aka sub_2d).

I see that i reduced speed from 1.5x to 1.0x at some point, but that is definitely legal.
