TA ARM vs CORE debate, settled here.

Ok, so @squishpon3 and @igncom1 and all those cool peeps, along with moi, obviously, have decided that a huge ARM vs. CORE team game is in order. It will take place Saturday at 3:00 p.m. EST time.

To Participate:
-Download GameRanger.
-Make an account
-Post a response here with your GameRanger username, and what side you are fighting for
-Suggest a map for us to play on (don't be a smartass and comment Desert Triad ) obviously it needs to be big, as its a giant team game.
Friend me on Gameranger to sign up officially. My username is the same as on here (BenGeocth)

THERE CAN ONLY BE 5 ON ONE FACTION, IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT FOR A CERTAIN FACTION THEN YOU CANNOT BE LATE!!!

IMPORTANT::NO COMMANDERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAP! This is just TA etiquette. As you know, commanders can destroy each other- if one is within close range of the other's explosion, they are both dead. But, holding back your commander results in loss of resources in the middle. ONLY CONSTRUCTION UNITS AND ATTACK UNITS CAN EXPAND TO THE MIDDLE, NOT COMMANDERS!

IMPORTANT::MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL UNIT PATCHES! I want to build farks and stuff.

Please oh please use a map with a good tile set, I'd rather a custom tile set (or TA kingdoms tiles) than one of the original cavedog maps... xD

Boo! Painted desert ftw! Also what is time in utc?

What are you guys' GR usernames?

Why gameranger btw?

The dedicated Phoenix Worx client is still up you know

Gameranger works for me (TA is very finicky for Windows 8+ users.) I can't even be the host of a game, I always have to have someone else host. Frankly, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Let sleeping dogs lie. etc. etc.

Well I'm just testing the PW client- appears to be fully functional in Windows 7 Maybe try installing it? The reason I suggest this is it's all nicely skinned to match TA, includes the TA Galactic War type thing and so on, and was made especially for the game. This was the last bastion of TA online community before the game really died off in the early 2000's... also as a bonus it's totally free, can't hurt to test it?

2000

Its not letting me sign up. Server problems. I'll stick to GR.

Meh, thanks for trying. I guess I could still sign in due to old account

Ok, I've got TA set up and working Ended up buying it again from GOG as my old disk is scratched and can't get it to install.

BTW, @squishypon3 you know you mentioned the TA music didn't go in any particular order, I'm assuming you've installed the '3.9 beta patch'? I noticed that with that, it sets the game to play music in 'random' which is silly.

Go into options (F2) and change musing to 'custom' mode. That will set it to play the slow building tracks when not much is happening, then jump into the faster battle tracks when it all kicks off- it really makes the battles feel more intense to me, I have no idea why they would have changed the default mode

Edit: Ill look into getting onto GameRanger nearer the time.

@cdrkf @bengeocth

What if we gave TA Zero a go afterwards? It's quite a nice mod, beautiful sprites and maps, and nicely balanced factions?

Sorry though, no AK-like unit on the Core's team >:3

Maybe, although if we want to play mods imo we should go to spring... Total annihilation in full 3d with a much more modern ui and strat zoom

The community patch of TA has megamap, basically a strat zoom.

One comes with TA demo recorder too, but the lag is unbelievable

I know, kinda, not as complete as spring though

And thus the question was answered without a need for any games.

E-warzone is where the best in the world still play at the minute. But don't bother joining their team games unless you are a known player as they will boot. Seems harsh but you will ruin a 4v4 game for 7 other players.

There is no contest, arm is so far ahead in everything except ships, which are later hard countered by Hawks. Well every unit is hard countered by Hawks, except flak.

Pfft, if only my flak was never countered by hawks.

Peewee not allowed is just ridiculous, if pro core players could beat arm players even though they used the peewee, they can again.

Might as well go and remove samsons/slashers.
