Re: So slow...

When i had a integrated intel video card 32Mb, It can cost as little as USD $5 to put an integrated video chipset on a motherboard. While they are fine for email and web surfing, they are usually quite inadequate for modern video games and 3D graphics applications, especially ones using OpenGL. The...

I realize I am sometimes hampered communicating on the Interwebs by having English as a first language, but does that mean anything?

Re: The Future of RTS...& the 7 Deadly Sins

Perhaps, for people who are horrified by the fact that games like WZ ultimately involve crushing your opponent, we could add a build option for song books. Then everyone could sit around in a cirlce singing "Give Peace A Chance" and "Kumbaya" while passing the bong.

Re: Two articles in my guide.

Nice work, Zarel. Useful stuff! I'm a little confused by this paragraph in the Special Weapons section: fire damage – Weapons with fire damage (not to be confused with flamers or thermal weapons) will cause things they hit to catch fire and take damage over a certain amount of time. Examples: flamer...

Re: map editor

Timezone is an English word. I don't think they allow those in Quebec. Luckily, the interwebs come to the rescue:

Re: AA cannons

They seem fairly functional playing skirmish (trunk) after a couple upgrades to both ammo and rate of fire. Three batteries seems like a minimum. Placing them off to one side of the incoming path appears to help them track longer.

Re: Dedicated Airceaft Bodies

Would be very nice to try some fast-firing cannon also, the fighters would eat any vehicle alive. I've read something about a nose-mounted 40mm gatling gun somewhere, but I don't recall where it was. It would pack a pretty punch, anyway. In the real world, the A-10 "Warthog" uses a 30mm g...

Re: Strategies

I've been considering preventing too-early truck rushing. I have a feeling a ton of people wouldn't like that, though. Better to use good tactics like actually defending your base, rather than constraining game play, IMHO. Besides, I believe some Zarel guy has a patch that is slowly working its way...
