But as they level up over time, they start giving more resources than usual. This slows the early game to a crawl as you inevitably stall, waiting for resources. The new extractors start off giving less resources than normal, meaning you no longer have enough resources. First of all, the game was carefully balanced so that with the mass points you have available at the start, you had just about enough resources to get started. The second change breaks the game in two massive ways. Second, it made mass extractors gain veterancy over time, giving you more resources the longer you hold onto them. First, all ordinary units were shrunk down a bit, making them harder to see, but without actually making the maps any bigger.

So to try and compensate for this, the final patch made two major changes to the game. Overall, you can probably see where the accusations of consolitis came from. The scale of the game is also smaller, with smaller maps, smaller and cheaper super units and smaller unit caps. Overall this was seen as a big downgrade to the complexity and flexibility of the first game. You could also only get a single, fixed amount of resources from a given mass extractor, and no more than that.

A later patch only subtracted the cost of the building when that point in the build queue was reached, so you could queue them up ahead of time again.Ĭompared to the first game, you can only assist with a few builders at a time, and the assist is generally less powerful, but since the resources are already spent, it is also free to assist. So there's pros and cons to each system.Īt first you couldn't even queue up buildings at all if you did not have enough resources in the bank, exacerbating the problem described above. But with a gradual drain, it's easier to overspend and run into bottlenecks and have everything build in slow-motion, or to underspend and waste resources. Starcraft pros always recommend not queuing things up for that reason and that's why they spend a lot of time using hotkeys to select their production buildings and building just one unit at a time. You see, when you pay all the resources all at once, queuing up units or buildings means you have less resources to spend on other things until the queue is empty. Ironic, given that the gradual drain was originally put in Total Annihilation to make it easier to manage compared to Command & Conquer. This was done to make it easier to understand for console players. One of the big changes in Supcom 2 was the change to an up-front payment system instead of the gradual resource drain of TA and SC1. A wonderful gesture, but ultimately destructive to the game. In the last days of Gas Powered Games, they took a special effort to release one last patch to address some of the criticisms that the community had with it. It is much more fun than only killing the AI.Since I already wrote it up for the GOG forums, I figured I'd crosspost it to here: Hf here on FAF and maybe try playing some multiplayer games with us.

However starting it offline will not trigger the "update game" cycle, so in order to keep your game up to date, you should start the online version from time to time and host a game. When you play offline via this shortcut, you can use all features and improvement that FAF introduced. This will also allow you to save your game. You can still play offline by starting supreme commander via C:/ProgramData/FAForever/bin/ForgedAlliance.exe īut it is by far easier to do it by just hosting a game.

Yes you can apply them manually, each version of FA is available on github. There was a debate about this on the forum here, maybe you can find it with the search function. Save games are also not a supported function. This is sad, yes, but since this entire lobby (including the patches) are programmed from voluntary community members. Well first of all: FAF is a multiplayer lobby.Ĭoop is a feature to play the campain together with other players (the missions are harder) but it comes at the cost, that the introvideos are not played before the game. To be honest, I´d prefer to apply these patches manually to my Version of FA and play without this program FA Forever.

I can´t find my savegames, and for that matter, I don´t know how to save a game - there is no save button in the list. how can I see the intro-videos before the missions? Lead341 wrote:Hi, I did as you suggested, but I am facing some problems:
