Reply to Major v2.4 Update, Free DLC, and Vulkan Support for Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation Coming on Aug. 24 in Press Releases (Ashes of the Singularity) AshesoftheSingularity Forums

[quote who="BadVoltage" reply="2" id="3686984"] Eh? Vulkan can run on Win 7/8, DX12 can't (won't). If you mean crossfire/SLI, then, maybe. [/quote] Currently the game doesn't actually have Crossfire/SLI support outside of DX12, which is only for Windows 10 users. What I want to know is if Vulkan is allowing us to run mGPU the same way as the DX12 version does.

Reply to Third Race in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I suspect Genesis went nuts because it was an extremely intelligent creature being held back by a simple being in comparison. Samuel gave him enough intellectual power that he easily outperformed his creator, and was almost an equal for Mac, the Neoph, Haalee (The most intelligent being in the universe so far) and a child of Haalee combined. As a result, I doubt it felt justified serving anyone but itself. As for teleporting forces

Third Race in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

So, for some reason, the original thread discussing the third race is closed (Too old, perhaps), and now having finished the Genesis Campaign, I'm super curious as to what it could be. Now, we already have a little bit of information about them, which is as follows: Quote from Frogboy: "The PHC and the Substrate are both from Earth. The third race does not come from Earth." With that, we can infer one of t

Reply to Radar Building Upgrades in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Given that the code for "vision" already exists, how much harder would it be to add sight range based on a scale of radar range for an upgrade? If that's confusing, what I mean is linking them: Radar (No quanta upgrades, level two building) range: 1 Sight range: 0.6 Radar (No quanta upgrades, level one building) range: 1 Sight range: 0 (Or whatever the default range is) Radar (One quanta upgrade, level two building) range: 1.1 Sight range: 0.66 R

Reply to Radar Building Upgrades in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

[quote who="GeneralsGentlemen" reply="5" id="3685539"] Upgrading the Radar building seems a little unnecessary when you can upgrade Radar range via Quantum upgrades, which will be reduced in price to 75 Quanta in 2.4 [/quote] I think the difference is with buildings and units that can't fire at radar contacts (Which is a lot of them), having some kind of upgrade to allow more utility out of radar towers is handy. Not to constantly bring up Supreme Commander, but the

Reply to Radar Building Upgrades in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Yes, I agree fully here. Depending on how hard it is to change the radar and gameplay systems, I'd even accept: Upgrade: Provides sight range equal to radar range. (Should be quite expensive, given how much utility this would give it) Because you're both right, at the moment, the radar tower is incredibly niche in usage - unless you have units or towers that can fire at radar blob, there's no point in using it. But if it could provide sight range, suddenly any u

Is Vulkan still in the running? I had thought it was going to be coming out this update, but it's not on the list. But now it's also not on the list of planned stuff. Really hoping it hasn't been dropped, as I've no intention of moving to Windows 10, but would like to use both my cards.

Reply to conKORD's imbalance pack + Claustrophobia in Ashes Modding AshesoftheSingularity Forums

[quote who="GeneralsGentlemen" reply="12" id="3684793"] I've experimented with modifying height values for planes. I tripled the height of the Fury, and the Sky Cleanser seemed completely incapable of hitting it. This no doubt effects performance of anti-air weaponry. [/quote] So does the air height effectively work like a reduction to range (I'm imagining a dome for the range of the turrets)? If so, that could be an awesome tool to balance things. Mak

[quote who="GeneralsGentlemen" reply="5" id="3683337"]Oh yeah, our modding and map making guide isn't too good at the moment and could certainly do with some love. Ultimately since our modding capabilities and tools (or lack thereof) is still very much a work in progress, we haven't yet been too focused on getting all the documentation up for it. It's something I can write up when I get a chance. [/quote] Oh, that'd be fantastic, yes please!

I am curious about this too. Changing stuff is neat and all, but my favourite mods are the ones that add stuff. Though I had read somewhere that someone was trying to make a spider-unit in the vein of the Monkeylord from Supreme Commander.

This is all wonderful news! Make sure that You have an opportunity to make money! I love the free content, as does everyone else, I'm sure. But you gotta keep the lights on! You don't forget about Vulkan! I'd love to make use of both my cards eventually. Keep up the great work!

[quote who="GeneralsGentlemen" reply="6" id="3681387"] The Leonidas is specifically a Dreadnaught Killer; it can solo multiple Dreadnaughts simultaneously and rip them apart very quickly. In particular, the Leonidas will beat the Queen quite convincingly. On the other hand, the Queen is better all round due to less concentrated damage and regeneration. The nest is also vulnerable to having the Frigates wiped by heavy AOE weapons like Hades, Strategic Bomber and Artillery. They

So, the Nest of the Queen is absolutely awesome, and feel like she warrants her excessive cost. I love the fact she heals herself, I like the method in which she attacks, I like her aesthetics, and she can go toe-to-toe with basically anything and expect to win. But Leonidas feels pretty lackluster in comparison. It can usually go toe-to-toe with an enemy, but where the Nest will absolutely walk all over the enemy and keep going, Leonidas will take heavy damage, los

1) Awesome to see another fan of Total Annihilation here. Seems to get forgotten a lot in the face of Supreme Commander. 2) While it's a little disheartening to know Ashes won't be getting those awesome updates done in the next little bit, I understand. 3) Off-topic-ish, but very stoked for Crusade as well. Looks like a cool expansion.
