I finally found their custom maps and they got mafia, a zombie game, and dark deeds. I think I am good for now.

This is not at all what this blog post is doing, but keep crying about it, it's pretty obvious you're not arguing in good faith.

Someone linked it here as the ultimate evidence that SC2 is awful because of the pathing a few threads back and that's stuck with me.

It has a bunch of quotes that are very dumb from the author reaching but it's one of the more moderate things I've seen written on SC1/SC2.

Hangouts is widespread and technically superior. Also, the lovely ads everywhere is because of Microsoft. They were decent before the buyout, turned to poo poo almost instantly afterwards.


Did anybody ever play that time-travel RTS called Achron or something like that? It looked pretty sweet but it just dropped off the radar and I never heard of it again.

Chronoporting may lead to the grandfather paradox. In order to solve this, the game's engine automatically switches between the two possible outcomes. For instance, if a tank travels to the past and destroys the factory that created it, the tank survives and the factory is destroyed with the passing of a time-wave, vice versa with the passing of another, and so on until one outcome falls out of the boundaries of the timeline and the other becomes the absolute outcome.

yeah I remember watching gameplay videos where Player A would be wrecking Player B's poo poo with an army, B would send some forces back in time and destroy the facilities that produced A's army, etc.

The concept is the coolest thing I've ever heard for an RTS, I just never played the final product so I don't know how janky it is. I know the graphics sucked, though.

Looking around at a few reviews for Achron, it seems like it was pretty lovely. Everyone was kind of stoked about how well the time travel component was implemented, but everything else was poo poo. Generic, unbalanced, bad path-finding, basically all the RTS sins. Also to do multiplayer you needed to synchronize a P2P thing by meeting in an IRC channel. Even then it worked only some of the time.

That's depressingly disappointing. It was such a cool idea. :smith:
