Do you guys think that the Strogg Retch from the recently leaked The Awakening expansion could be a design inspiration for Carcass from Doom Eternal?

I mean, sort of similar theme: a fat body sack mounted onto mechanical legs with cybernetics on the head and a weapon implanted into the right arm. Obviously the playstyles of both of them are not the same (one is a melee unit and the other shoots and creates energetic shields), but hey, just a thought into the air

Thought that i could share more photos of the server's world after seeing how much attention last post got. So here they are with shaders turned ON

Shaders name - ComplementaryReimagined_r5.8.1 or something like that. Total Live-time of the server was ~15 months (11.02.2025-07.05.2025)

Out of curiosity decided to take the seed of our now-closed server (that was generated first back in 1.21.6 i believe) and regenerate it on latest snapshot. Was NOT expecting the new Forest biome to appear right next to the spawn and in such sizes! (Photos from server's world for comparison)

World's seed is -736690146. IDK if i can share the world with all those builds instead... unless asked directly by higher ups))

How much the game balance would be affected if neutral creeps with magic-based projectiles got their damage type switched from "Ranged" to "Magic"?

It always was kind of weird to me that the 3 general unit damage types (melee, ranged and magic) were applicable only to playable factions, but neutral creeps only had melee, ranged and chaos (if the enemy has high enough level), be it an arrow shot from a bow or a plasma orb thrown out of the staff.

What do you guys think would happen with balance if those got changed to magical instead of ranged?

So i got bored and made a funny map trigger that would convert a creature under your player command when you kill it, and then tested it on 11 AI opponents... The result went horribly wrong very fast xd

Some notes:

  1. It lasted stable until, like, 20th or 25th minute when everything started lagging so much, and before i've managed to quit on my own, it just crashed. Creatures' pathfinding also started breaking very often at some earlier point too
  2. While i did specify in trigger's conditions that the unit must not be a building, hero or a summoned thing in order to be converted, Blade Master's illusions and Hydra spawns weren't considered to be summons for some reasons, meaning that you can theoretically get free Blade Master hero not as an orc player or you can infinitely spawn hydras for yourself
  3. It's possible to infinitely restore HP/Mana as Death Knight/Lich since killed friendly undeads instantly respawn when corresponding skills are used on them
  4. What the trigger essentially does is that whenever an unit dies (if it's not a building/hero/summon), it spawns the same unit as the triggering unit with player faction corresponding to the unit that killed it, then it removes the triggering unit so it won't leave a corpse behind. That's basically all

Any idea of how to load versions 1.01-1.06 of Red Alert 3?

I have a few replays recorded in version 1.06 that I've found on some ancient disks of a gaming magazine, and I've been trying to find a way to watch them. So far:

Writing -runver 1.6 in launch options doesn't work (in settings it shows version 1.00 when i do so). In fact... -runver 1.1-1.6 don't seem to work at all, so at best i could roll back to 1.07 version

Using replay viewer from -ui option & Wmm's replay tool in theory could have worked too but again, the seem to be unable to load versions 1.01-1.06 too

Any other ideas of how i can watch those replays in a legal way?
