I love Total Annihilation, and Supreme Commander. I made a game much like both and compiled it into web assembly language so I could play in any web browser. Would love to hear your thoughts. Tier 2 gets you shields :D Thanks and hope you get some nostolgia from this like I do.

In the title, just heard of this game but I am not sure I should recommend this to my friends, is it worth trying or is this a dead game with a small community left? Are there any updates coming from developers?

So I've been playing this game a few weeks and I've been joining the "OP" rotato lobby because I'm naturally gifted. But all these high os quitters keep on leaving 5mins in saying "WHY ARE YOU LETTING ME GET 1V2", "THIS IS YOUR LANE OPPONENT" AND "UNPLAYABLE". But I don't lose MY lane and then they leave at 5 mins. Can we have an op lobby with a max rating to keep out these high os poops?

Edit: Lots of people seem to think this is a troll post and I can't get why. My tactics are SOUND, I've read The Art of War and EVERYONE knows that the best offence is a good defence. But too many of these high os quitters don't understand this concept and fail to build enough gauntlets like me and proceed to blame others for their shortcumings.

It's been over a year and I still suck balls at this game. Willing to pay to have someone watch me play live on Discord and coach me through. Probably once per week on saturdays or something. Please reach out I want to hit 30 OS within a month or 2. I am fcking SICK of losing.

The first session probably just watch me play a couple of games and ill say out loud my thinking process and what I'm doing and why. Then at the end tell me everything i should change, watch me play another game, and we'll iterate from there until I hit 30 OS

The build lines surrounding buildings when you are placing them, are not working most games.

They usually work when spectating, but not when playing.

Are they working for most people?? Trying to figure out if there's something wrong with my client. Or if there's a simple fix.

Extended Look At The 4v4 OP LOBBY

Just one toggle button on the rezbot UI to "not finish commander wrecks" or similar would eliminate a common frustration for the main 8v8 maps. Have it default to ON, so eating or area reclaiming will only take a commander wreck to its last metal without needing to manually click the rezbot away at the last second. Would also protect the wreck from negligent teammates with area reclaim commands.

Then if you actually want to delete the wreck, just toggle it off.

It fits the functional UI element of the game's design. Babysitting and clicking away a rezbot at the last second is not "skill expression" in the way the game prizes.

If anyone knows of a QOL widget that does just this please let me know.

Total noob here, trying to learn the ropes, watching games on YouTube to see how team games go. I understand that it makes sense for some players to self-destruct their commanders to get some extra metal. But then why are there cases where those same players leave the wreck just lying there to be resurrected? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of self-destructing in the first place?

All this stuff about lanes. Who is eco. Who is air. Who is land. How you're supposed to follow set strategies.

Where tf do I learn all this? It sounds like a MOBA with positions. I'm kinda scared to go online as I'd just be playing like usual.

I'm not a noob to RTS but have not experienced this sort of RTS with positions and set roles. How do I figure all this out?

I´m a bit bored and wanted to change the commanders "voices" ingame to some Transformer voices.

Is that even possible? :D

BAR ratings reward specialisation in such an extreme manner. 200+ maps, the largest unit roster of any rts and somehow the elite of the elite know one/two spots on one map which they open with 2-3 styles (thugs/centurion etc).

If you catch an 60os outside his usual spot do not fear them. You’ll be just fine.

Yesterday I had a Glitters game where the Eco was late and I was in canyon. We lost canyon but air helped holding it somewhat. I was on back canyon and on 5 mex. Tried to scale up with the late t2 con but I was fighting a losing battle so I barely got up sone fusion. The same applied to the other side of the front but they were already ahead with several afus and T3 lab.

Anyway this is something I struggle hard. By the time I get up 1 T3 unit others already printing them. Only when I'm ahead and can salvage that I can keep up the pace.

I appear on the board as efficient resource usage many times, yet I'm always stuck on t2-t2.5

Only OS13 noob, so anny advice helps.

Huge potential, absolutely incompetent development.

The game is generally just a massive pile of bugs, every patch brings out even more problems, and it manages to crash on all kinds of high-end gaming rigs...

On top of that, they can't even implement something as basic in an RTS game as a proper ranking and matchmaking system.

The community is the one providing solutions for a bunch of issues; the developers are completely clueless when it comes to development, communication, and game design.

Most lobbies are unplayable in team games, and the game is impossible to balance because the skill gap between players is way too big.

Why are you even making the game if you can't do it? You have no idea what you're doing, just give up. Stop stringing players along, making them believe this will ever become a real game. Sell the concept to someone who actually knows what to do with it.

###As it stands right now, this game is an empty promise, a total scam, evidence of failure.###

I understand that it is open-source, community-developed, and run by enthusiastic amateurs bla bla bla.... but it is simply not working out. It is going nowhere, there is no vision, and the team is just chasing after an increasing number of problems that they do not know how to solve. The project has simply outgrown them in terms of both skill and capacity.

This game is an unfulfilled promise.
