Try not to take this the wrong way but it definitely diminishes my willingness to listen to feedback from those who pre-judge units. The Eradicator is not like the Nemesis and the Athena is not an equivalent to the Mauler. There are always going to be similarities but it would be like someone looking at a rough description of a Protoss zealot and deciding it's the same as a Zergling.

The Nitrous engine will use every CPU core it can get its hands on. It has no concept of CPU cores, just very small jobs that are sent out to all your CPU cores. This is why we're so excited about Ashes, Star Control and future projects built on it. It'll be years before anyone else has this kind of tech.

Ok I just looked. We didn't intend for the Fury Cannon to be able to target ground. It must have gotten updated to that during the recent AI targeting improvement pass.

You admitted you got it from your cousin and that you didn't pay for it. It's probably freezing because you're missing something. I'm kind of surprised that you don't get the concept of having gotten something from "your cousiin" who "downloaded it off the Internet" doesn't make you a customer of it.

The Furie's 440dps weapon is air to air. Its ground gun is relatively wimpy. I will double check of course. When I play, I always have some Sky cleansers out pretty early. You're going to have this sort of thing in any RTS. Without it, the game would be predictable and boring. In StarCraft, there are players who can wreck another player with a single Reaper. The Protoss can wipe you out with a single Oracle. People complain in Ashe

I'd be very wary about gameaplay balance that is about the 1 on 1 small map game versus the much more commonly played medium sized maps played single player (let alone large). Air units are very fragile to anti-air and require a significant investment. If the opponent takes radioactives first, be prepared for air.

He wasn't implying you were a thief. He was trying to find out whether it was the Steam or GOG version. It's not about priority, it's about finding out which underlying library might be involved. Lockups like this typically happen due to overlocking (CPU or GPU) OR sometimes due to the GOG Galaxy overlay (but not that often).

Ok, so internally we've been playing on huge maps and another type of map size called massive. Huge maps are (I believe) 4X larger than Large. Massive maps are 16X larger than the large maps. We won't support Massive in Ashes 1 (you have to have 4GB of video memory to run them and at least 6 CPU cores). However, even on huge, yes, we are going to need a way to zoom out and see a strategic view of the map. We aren't going to turn every ind

Art style reminds me a bit of Sorcerer King. Which isn't surprising since it was largely designed by the former art director at Firaxis. :)
