Thread: Spring Update - Port of Hamburg19 Apr 2018, 08:22 AM Boom! Fixed. I took Capiqua's latest version and modified it to where Port of Hamburg should be. Note the latest version already had a major change in the north center Check it out on steam: Port of Rosbone In: Lobby

That is why I spoke up. Now is the time to fix it. I have 24/7 to work on it. Just volunteering. As always much praise for your hard work and the others that are getting these things done In: Lobby
Thread: Spring Update - Port of Hamburg18 Apr 2018, 15:18 PM Also, all of the other maps feel pretty balanced. Lanzareth Ambush still feels North favored but the last changes made a big difference. Maybe open the tree line southwest of the middle VP a little more to reduce bottleneck. Lienne Forrest needs a rework on the right side trees. The North can be flanked from several paths but the South can only flank from one and it is very awkward. EDIT: LaGleize feels south favoured due to the left side cutoff. You play that map way more than I do (everytime you stream) so I will leave that all up to you In: Lobby

Thread: Spring Update - Port of Hamburg18 Apr 2018, 15:06 PM Good I just wanted to point out that the current live version is imbalanced. If it were me I would: 1. Remove some of the canal north of the middle VP (as above). It would not take much. To give the north army a bigger area to spread out. 2. Remove the small building overlooking Left VP. When pushed the bottleneck it creates makes it hard to defend that area. 3. Remove some of the high fence south of the left fuel. And possible add a wall or some other cover there. When pushed south team has no cover just a large road area. 4. Remove the two large cargo containers just south of middle VP. Use something that can be destroyed by mid game. It creates a bottleneck when defending middle VP. 5. Rework the area just northwest of the middle VP. It is a cluster and creates vague engagements. 6. Remove the stupid sight blocking shrubs north of the middle VP. Derp. That would be a good start.... In: Lobby
Thread: Cannot beat a classic18 Apr 2018, 13:53 PM A lot of the suggestions like arty are nice, however, that wont help you 2 minutes into the game. Unless you can build a Katy at the 2:00 mark? Kappa In team games the first MGs to arrive are key to holding that ground. So make a mortar as your 3rd or 4th unit. By then you will have infantry on the line and can assess the number of MGs/mortars you will be facing. The real issue is having grenades and CQC units to take advantage of getting close to the MGs. Remember, mortar is designed to force the MG to move, not to let you kill it easily. And smoke will let you take points right in front of an MG since they do not have attack ground. It is much better at wiping vet squads on the move without any sight because relic things And the most important TroyD tip of the day is that smoke is also effective against snipers...The more you know....

Thread: Spring Update - Port of Hamburg18 Apr 2018, 13:42 PM This map is still very unbalanced. When the teams are balanced skill wise this is what I see: 1. Fighting to the fuels from North is harder than from south. Especially on the right side. Every game at my level the people on the right side never see the fuel until end game. Usually the north right team positions get smashed all game and pushed back to the middle. This is mostly from the strength of the house and the narrow opening between the northern territory point area. The left is slightly biased to the North side to make up the difference but the garrison has much less value as it can be attacked with grenades or flames quit easily. 2. Late game, the North teams tend to be massed on the narrow middle bridge above the middle star. Everyone knows this and artillery erases whatever is there. So the North team has no effective way to push the middle star. Which is where every single game ends. If North team does not have a strong mid game, they will lose late game badly. The bridge area needs to be much larger. Remove some of the canal north of the bride to increase land mass. 3. Using the worldbuilder are the distances to each fuel building the same? In: Lobby

This needs a lot of coordination between the players. 1. You get close to the line hit SMOKE RAID (60 munis). Smoke floods the area. 2. Hit ASSAULT to make your units push better (optional but 90 Munis). 3. Throw grenades on the MGs. This strat works early-mid game since it requires 3 CPs to unlock the smoke raid. One of the statistics guys can affirm, but the ASSUALT adds a little sprint to get you past the MGs etc. It may have been nerfed this patch to move slower. Last patch, the inf could sprint right thru the MGs if timed right. No need for smoke at all. It was bat-shit OP. Which brings up the issue I have with commanders. Picking the right commander should not drastically change the game. But generically it seems the pros say: BRITS - Smoke, Grenades, Mortar pit. USF - Mortar Smoke, grenades, mortar half tracks. SOV - Smoke, 120mm mortar, Con sprint w/ppsh or shocks to get close and deal damage. SKIP MY RAMBLING I think the thing that trips everyone up is that things are meant to counter at certain times in this game. Each thing allows you some domination time. Along the order of 1-4 minutes. Where everyone thinks they made X, I need to counter with Y. And if Y does not quickly counter, then the game is busted or imbalanced. You did not anticipate unit X so you lose territory for a certain time period. That is how I feel about bunkers, bofors, etc. They are not meant to win the game. Just buy you time in the VP race.

Thread: Cannot beat a classic11 Apr 2018, 15:21 PM Last patch the best I ever saw was a brit using Commando Regiment. Combo of smoke raid and Assault abilites ran thru the MGs and REKT everything. Of course Brit commandos would decimate that line last patch as well. Have I been playing this game long enough to yearn for past patches (scared) In: Strategy Desk
Thread: An Apology to the Community11 Apr 2018, 15:14 PM The important take from all of this is how intelligent people can have such differing views on a subject. The most intelligent thing you can ever do is look at the problem from the other persons perspective. In: Lobby
