    The unit cannon is almost here! Praise Uber!

    Seriously though, so happy to see this. was getting a bit worried that the unit cannon idea was just quietly swept under the rug.

    I think this is the first time I've ever made a *SQUEEEEE* noise when looking at a game/game update...

    My only qualm with the model is, why are the pods lined so far up the firing rails? It looks like a railgun so I assume it is, in which case you'd want them to start farther back and get flung the entire length of the rails... Other than that, it's great!

    I just want to know the mechanics so I can get around to balancing it.

    :D

    Regardless, I'll happily inject my opinion on orbital wars when the time comes.

    This arguement is Bulls***! Everyone of you who cared, are bad and should feel bad. Worst language ever, almost every other language native would agree.

    There they go again, just unilaterally declaring it 'color'.

    Literally, want me to insult you both?

    Well, one of you's stupid *** ancestors invented a stupid *** language, taking none of the subtle tips that make other languages learnable and accurate and easy to use like adamant rules that rarely change for any letter or conjugate, no silent Es and random plural changes.

    And the other one of you's stupid *** ancestors decided to screw the screwed up language up even more, part of it is obvious laziness like colour to color, the other half is just plain stupidity like doughnut to donut.

    And both of you have not done anything as complex as invent a language, but are now arguing about it. When the language is too bat **** crazy to have real rules and rights and wrongs.

    /conversation. Every further post better be about a cannon that fires units.

    I think jabbles is correct to push these changes since in reviews the lack of tutorials and steep learning curve where shown as limiting factors to the game experience.

    But the lack of depth in the strategy part was also heavily criticized and a balance pass should help mitigate that too.

    So i guess they should focus on those 2 things, also communicating to the new players that they are still adding more functionalities to the game should help too.

    I... really don't know what to say. I honestly thought you were joking up until this post. I just can't comprehend how this topic would be something that could cause this level of anger.

    We were all just having a fun little bit of US/UK banter, that's all.

    I am not North American and English is not my first language, but from my understanding is that languages tend to evolve into simpler forms with the passage of time. I think the process is called linguistic evolution. On the other hand, English is already a very poor and simple language you guys should try to keep some of it's complexity.
