You're telling me that if I'm an average player looking to test my skills in a tournament just for fun, there has been no way for me to play in a major ESOC event in the last 3 years? That probably hasn't helped with player retention either... Not just amateur players, I failed to qualify for the W...

I don't really have much of an opinion on whether this is a good idea or not, but two things to think about: 1. Rated games were still possible on EP; I believe rated games are not possible on DE with mods? Might make it difficult for many players to justify installing any fanpatch. 2. From what I r...

To me it seems like Trump has a hard on for the trade surplus we have with Canada hence the tariffs and rhetoric. I don't think he is actually serious about invading or taking territory from Canada. I actually do think he is serious. He clearly wants this; he’s mentioned it dozens of times. But I d...

I’m on my phone so I’m not going to go hunting down sources right now, but allegedly Trump had a call with Trudeau in early February where he claimed that the treaty which marks the border between the US and Canada isn’t valid or something. Peter Navarro (Trump’s trade advisor) apparently also sugge...

I think H2O himself would probably list WCG 2008 as his greatest moment. All the way up until he stopped playing he would tell me that he still thought iamgrunt was the best player he ever had to play against and so beating him was quite an achievement.

Bump

But you haven't played a game since 2018

But then why did the threat of tariffs disappear overnight? If the goal was to secure the border to a standard then why was there a threat of tariffs if it was in accordance? Was trump mistaken that it was up to standard? Was Trudeau not holding up his end of the bargain? They get on a call and the...

Sure I think that is fine. It’s just they agreed to something and then only with threatened to act on what they promised are they mobilizing the personnel. I think the two countries can very much so get along, but trump is going to continue being hard on Trudeau until he’s out of office. Which suck...

To be fair, while I do agree with many of the things you're saying Incog, you do come across as quite combative. I think Mexico allowing people to cross their border to pass through to the us and not abiding by the stay in Mexico is a good reason for tarifffs. I think that Canada drafted an email to...

As for trumps tariffs those did exactly what he wanted. He wanted Canada and Mexico to do more about the border. Now both have agreed to doing more about the border. Marking myself safe from the tariff wars of 2025 which lasted 0 days because none of the tariffs went into effect before Mexico and C...

Canada finally getting punished for smuggling drugs that killed tens of millions of Americans. Have you tried apologizing [mention]u2[/mention] I'm sorry for the 0.002% of fentanyl that crossed our border into the US. I would ask for an apology for the number of illegal firearms traced back to the ...

What are the main imports from Mexico and Canada? They are both huge exporters to the US so these tariffs would be very inflationary. Will congress let this happen? It's probably speedrunning losing the midterms and 2028 elections, given the impact inflation had on this one. I would think that if y...

It's definitely possible to make a classic obs map

Even without looking at per capita, the US is the world's 2nd largest emitter of CO2 behind only China, and emits almost double that of the next closest country, India. Which policies do you prefer? A few would be: 1) Economic policies: Encouraging American oil and gas production. Deregulation remov...

I don't think Trump is a perfect person or president. Trump didn't trick or fool me I just greatly prefer him and his policies to Harris and her policies. It seems like the majority of Americans agree with me.

Which policies do you prefer?

You clearly have strong feelings about who Trump is, but he was president already so clearly he can do the job. If you actually listen what he says versus what the MSM says he says and says about him you may feel differently. It's difficult not to view Trump's character poorly, considering the numb...

[mention]u189[/mention] [mention]u2[/mention] This week, I should be able to play weekdays from 9 to 5 CET. After this week, I have no idea when or if I will play Hmu on discord if this works for you, username mart90 Is there not some discord where people go to find games? Is everyone just ladderin...

Also, where to find people to play with these days?

No idea, but I'd be down to play a few games with you if you want. I haven't played much the last couple of years though, so I won't be up to date with the meta on some civs

if someone released an RTS that had a League like model (which is really good, except the game itself is eh) we would be eating good

unfortunately what makes a good rts a good rts appears to be a lost art.

Isn't this what Stormgate is supposed to be?

I've always known that elifents are OP and in need of nerfs.

That's sad to hear. The Kickass build is one of my favourite builds too

Typically, an RTS needs to provide a reason to contest the map, otherwise you get a turtlefest, where nobody has any incentive to actually attack the other player: With defender's advantage taken into consideration, attacking would always be a losing proposition. But to increase strategic depth, it...

It would be interesting to see what AoE3 would look like if you tried to emulate some of the elements of SC2/AoE2 to pull more of the strategy from "outside of the game" to "during the game." I think you'd have to eliminate a lot of the snowball mechanics. - Increase unit speed -...
