http://www.fa-ladder.com|||ooooooooo...
Too bad I don't have internet or time anymore at home...
|||Thank you very much for that.Glad you are here, doing the job of publishers / developers :)|||This might just be the thing that gets me playing FA-ladder ranked games. Looking forward to it!
While on the topic of the FA ladder mod, is there any way to enable seeing the score in replays of games played using the FA ladder mod?|||maybe that will help FA to come back alive over the summer, its just about here xD|||I'll be back for this, even if only for a little while. Sounds awesome :) .|||You're my hero. :)|||This is very promising! Time to find my copy of FA, wherever it is...|||Changed topic type to Sticky for now.|||Falcrack, I'll see about seeing the score when watching replays.
Thanks Valk.|||For the benefit of people returning to the game, can TAG_ROCK or any of the other FA-ladder players/modders give a brief description of the balance changes from the final retail patch of FA, and what some of the gameplay implications are?
Also, I assume that even with the new automatching server (which is great) word of mouth won't spread far/fast enough for FA-ladder to be immediately popular. So any tips on finding the community? (apart from the FA-ladder forums). Do people still hang out in GPGNet chatrooms or do they gather in IRC somewhere or what?|||This thread contains the change lists: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=40813
Quick summation:
- Restorers are nerfed to not be the I-Win-Button they used to be.
- Initial energy storage is reduced and buildings no longer grant it; you must build at least one E storage before you can use the ACU's Overcharge.
- All experimentals are increased in cost by about 25%
- T3 air is more expensive, energy wise, so it's much more difficult to win by sheer airspam.
- T1 air is reduced in cost a bit, and is far more useful than it used to be
- T2 tanks are buffed and so they're now worth building, as T2 bots no longer completely replace them.
- SAMs are cheaper, and flak is much more effective against T3 air.
- Navy is rebalanced so T3 is now useful; massed T2 is no longer better in every situation like it was in 3599.
- OC now does damage to ACUs. Not a terrible amount (300 IIRC?), but enough to make a difference if you remember to use it.
There's quite a bit more, but those are the main highlights. As for how this affects gameplay, compared to 3599:
- Airspam is no longer the be-all-and-end-all. It's actually quite difficult to get to T3 air without a significant economy investment; for early-mid game you'll want to just spam T1 ints as they can take down a small amount of T3 air when massed.
- The early game is much more balanced, due largely to the T2 tweaks and the energy storage requirements. It doesn't play a huge amount differently though (aside from the lack of scrambling-to-rush-ASF).
- Flak are awesome vs T1 and T2 air, and fairly competent against T3 (SAMs are still better vs T3, of course). Much better than they used to be.|||Thats great, thanks!|||www.fa-ladder.com is down ; do you plan to replace it by FA-Lobby ?|||by the looks of it i think the domain has been sold.
