Thread: BIG 1v1 tournament coming later this year?!6 Aug 2019, 17:41 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Aug 2019, 17:31 PMA_E 2. Completely disagree, ace game decider should be as balanced as possible so the player with the best skills, endurance, and strategy reigns supereme. Not whoever can think fast enough on an unknown battlefield 4. Dying troops with low visibility is not fun for anyone. We suffered it in tournaments for two years, and for those of us that remember it was just... shit. 2: Strategy should be adaptable. Skill is too. Endurance doesn't depend on a map. Having a randomised map means that an additional skill players must hone is adaptability, and knowing the basics of a wide pool of maps. Encouraging players to know exactly what to do on Crossroads 100% of the time leads to situations where we could have Kimbo, VonIvan, Isildur and Noggano all play USF and overlay them with minor variation. You yourself mocked the Spec-Ops meta. This would help alleviate that kind of situation and, in my view, provide a better viewing experience as people see players adapt and strategise on the fly. 4: That's why I'm thinking a side event. Especially if there were a map or two curated for it, to mitigate the worst parts. Fixed interval blizzards, good provision of cover and heat for the early game so that late-game vehicles destroying it becomes a tactical decision.. In: Lobby
Thread: Veterancy bonuses.6 Aug 2019, 17:27 PM Possibly a silly question, but I literally can't see how to do it: How does one go about writing a new guide? I don't see an option for adding one, and writing it then worrying about format later seems like it'd quickly become a headache compared to writing it with the formatting in place. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Veterancy bonuses.6 Aug 2019, 16:52 PM I noticed the Veterancy guide is a couple of years outdated, is there an easy to parse list of newer veterancy bonuses or would you have to go through each patch note in turn to compile a new list? I'm vaguely interested in re-writing the guide and keeping it updated, so I'm trying to gauge how much work will be involved initially. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: BIG 1v1 tournament coming later this year?!6 Aug 2019, 00:05 AM I've had some thoughts about this. 1: I'd kinda like to see tournaments start with a group stage, round robin instead of pure knockout. The way I'd do it is this: Best of 2. Each player plays Axis and Allies. Three commander ban against UKF, USF and OKW, Five commander ban against Ostheer and Soviet. If you win 2-0, you get 3 points in the group, 1-1 is 1 point. I'd suggest 4 man groups. 2: Ace game deciders should be a random map out of a large pool. Perhaps work with Tric to create this pool and have the worse excesses of some maps shaved down a little. 3: Commander bans should always be a thing. At minimum 1-2 bans, because it inherently encourages players to have a broader strategy pool than "OKW, Spec Ops, Mechanised, Puma, Luchs, Command Panther." 4: I know people hate ColdTech, but frankly I think having a side event or a smaller tournament on it to see if it develops another meta would be very interesting..

Thread: USF Rifle Company Rework21 Jun 2019, 22:49 PM So.. I had a thought. What if instead of a Veteran Sergeant, we did a Designated Marksman? Adds a sixth man to the squad armed with a Springfield, adds a "Snipe" ability for 20 Muni that one-taps a specific enemy model at a good range, and adds the ability for the squad to hit the dirt to get a bonus to accuracy, received accuracy at the cost of losing all ability to move while active?

Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.022 Apr 2019, 21:34 PM Out-there idea. What if Conscripts were a 6 man unit, that automatically gained +1 man at each tech building? So 6 to start. If you build all 4 buildings, 10 man squad. No change to pop cap. No change to slots. Have them be chaff, low exp for enemy squads killing, but able to charge with reckless abandon.

Thread: G43 rifles vs MG42 light machine-gun 2 Dec 2018, 21:19 PM ... On the front page of the Strategy Desk, the bottom topic is from nearly three months ago, and a full month before this thread before I "necroed" it. It's a bit bullshit to call it a necro when it's still on the front page of topics, unless you'd rather set an arbitrary time of "Thou shalt not continue a discussion after X days", in which case mods should be locking topics. And regardless, it does seem very odd/unintuitive that the damage dropoff for something explicitly medium-range (as per the Command Squad, at least) is so short and so heavy. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: G43 rifles vs MG42 light machine-gun 2 Dec 2018, 11:16 AM Wait.. so the "long range" rifles end up significantly worse than normal rifles past grenade range? That seems rather counter intuitive.. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Campaign Question.1 Dec 2018, 05:11 AM This'll be an odd question, but how do you skip cutscenes/dialogue entirely in the campaign? I know there's a way to regain control of units during those dialogue scenes but I can't seem to find it.. In: Campaign & Co-op
