I seem to remember it being extensive but I can't find it. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3280168 C&C 3 is tough because the digital versions force you to play with the latest patch, which completely fucks over the singleplayer balance. Not sure if anyone's figured a way around that without piracy or buying a physical copy.

Potential BFF posted:Tabbing out the production bar is a good change. I've been playing Dawn of The Tiberium Age a bunch and I can't say I'll miss having everything stacked up on one another, especially since units and buildings are added depending on when you got their production structure / tech. It also doesn't actually imply any gameplay changes. Though I do hope they throw some modern UI stuff into the game and give people the option to turn it off.

Mordja posted:I mean, multiple build queues is a pretty big gameplay change in and of itself. Nobody said anything about changing the build queues. The devs just said they sorted the icons into categories to reduce the amount of scrolling while keeping the original building rules. You could always build units at the same time as buildings. Here: https://www.reddit.com/r/commandandconquer/comments/bx59ym/remaster_update_and_first_sidebar_preview/eq3guxo/ quote:So with that in mind, one of the most requested improvements was to reduce the need for scrolling the Sidebar as much as possible. A key suggestion on how to accomplish this was to introduce the build tabs from Red Alert 2 and Tiberium Wars into the classic UI. We have thus decided to embrace this suggestion, and you can see the build tabs present in the associated preview image. However, because of the construction queue rules of the original games, we wanted to keep all buildings under a single tab, with associated tabs for Infantry, Vehicles (Air, Land, Naval), and Support Powers. To further support the goal of reduced scrolling, we have then designed the Sidebar to fit 18 build buttons. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Jun 8, 2019 |

Sick, it’s got single player content? I don’t bother with most mods because there’s no way I’m doing multiplayer with 30-year C&C vets or skirmish AI that can’t handle new units.

I'd love to play a crazy RTS like Supcom but with the flavour of Dominions. Total Annihilation with a fantasy theme, you say? Perhaps Kingdoms?

mortons stork posted:Did anyone ever play Supreme Commander 2? I never got around to it since that was a real busy time in my life. But I did love SupCom 1, probably my favourite strategy game ever that I wish I hadn't misplaced my CDs for. I still get an itch to play an RTS every once in a while and am fairly open to experimenting, but I don't know if they ever made anything similar to SupCom 1. It’s insanely simplistic in comparison. It can be fun for a LAN party romp but it has practically zero depth.

Mordja posted:Not quite. It adds its own versions of a couple things like the Monkeylord (removed from the current release, to be added in a future, big T4 update) but the majority of its unit concepts are new/from the TA community. TA Zero is also a good one, it's got Starcrafty faction asymmetry with TA's far superior gameplay mechanics. It adds shields and adjacency bonuses, too. I didn’t say it only backported stuff from SC. There’s definitely a lot more in there

In good RTS remaster news, the EA staff doing the C&C and Red Alert remasters found a bunch of extra studio footage they're going to toss into the game as a bonus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikJLYYTrIxs Not sure how I feel about how they're upscaling the old video, though.

Love Stole the Day posted:Petroglyph did a good job with the 8-Bit series, but why would they remake RA1? It has already been done by the OpenRA people, so they're not adding anything. Is it just because EA wants to take a dump on the OpenRA developers so they're giving Petroglyph a bunch of money to do it for them? I would go out on a limb and say they’re remaking games to sell them for money Does OpenRA have the single player campaigns? Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Mar 7, 2020 |

Mordja posted:OK, partly for my own sake, partly for yours I got Escalation working. TA mods are in a bit of a weird spot in that older ones are actually easier to get working. Newer ones tend to use features from a long-abandoned fanpatch build for Windows 7 and lower. Anyways, here's what I did. Huh, I wonder if this will work to get RA2/Mental Omega running better on my machine

Mordja posted:What're you issues with RA2? In my experience using the CNCNet patch and running it from the launcher works fine, and most mods including MO all use that same backend. If you wanna play the original campaigns you can try using this patcher: http://www.stuffhost.de/files/cnc/ Mainly if I try to run it in borderless windowed or windowed mode I get "screen mode not found" errors. The only combination of settings that works for me at the moment is 720p/fullscreen using the TS-DDRAW-2 renderer. What I really want is 720p in a window that I can make fullscreen so I can alt-tab and have stuff on my second monitor without getting rearranged.

Holy poo pooquote:Today we are proud to announce that alongside the launch of the Remastered Collection, Electronic Arts will be releasing the TiberianDawn.dll and RedAlert.dll and their corresponding source code under the GPL version 3.0 license.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:So was the main draw with MO just huge balance fixes to Yuri's Revenge? Because I remember YR completely making GBS threads on the balance of RA2 at the time, and combined with RTS kind of dying off I remember thinking it was a rather sad fate for a series that had knocked it out of the park for so long. Nah, there's a Yuri rebalance built into the CNCnet version of YR https://forums.cncnet.org/topic/9250-yuri-rebalance-patch-community-changelog/ The main draw of MO is that it adds a fuckton of new units and factions in a way that isn't completely unbalanced and miserable (I guess? I've only played a few 1v1 skirmishes so far).

Zeus is probably the most fun; Emperor is the most advanced. imo just pick the one with the aesthetic you most prefer. The core gameplay is all the same, with the later games improving on and adding complexity to the formula.

SavageMessiah posted:Speaking of spring engine stuff, Beyond All Reason is in alpha now. A friend of mine played a bunch this weekend. It's clearly Balanced Annihilation with the serial numbers filed off. It's really good and you can kinda tell it's been being refined and balanced for a really long time. I think it's coming to steam eventually but it's just a standalone thing ATM. If you like Zero-K, you would like BAR. This feels a lot less like "a TA Spring game", too.
