    Am I able to watch this?

    I don't really know the first thing about TA, but watching gigantic armies is fun even if you have no idea what's going on.

    Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad.

    Peewees dont have a place in determining which faction is better. We are determining which faction is better, not which is OP. There is a very fine line between the two, but It needs to be stated. The core does not have an effective unit they can pump out 20 of in thirty seconds, then take out a commander immediately. 20 A.K. cannot kill a commander. 20 Peewee easily can, if you use them right, and if they don't they can severely weaken its entire base and ensure their own victory. Like @clopse said, knowledge is knowing that a peewee is an ARM k-bot, wisdom is not putting it in a game where it could essentially be used as a cheat.

    @ZaphodX I don't suppose you can stream TA or record? I know the audio would likely be so broken it would make your ears want to vomit.


    I seriously doubt the streaming capabilities with a game like this, but if someone can stream it, TA does have spectator slots.


    I can also put the TADEMO file in this thread after the fight. If you have TA demo recorder mod, you will be able to go back and watch it as many times as you want. (Of course, this does require TA)

    Peewees aren't OP, if anything you should ban the flash!

    Flash can be easily countered by Slasher.

    I sometimes quit building Flash pretty early on due to missile units making it very hard to conduct a successful offensive.

    I've never actually played TA so I'm not the right person for this.

    @stuart98 might be a good expert for a cast? I could potentially comment as well, however I was intending on playing.

    @clopse I know there are a few die hard ta guys playing regular, however this isn't going to be that serious :p I'd be able to give anyone a decent game, though I'd have to brush up first :p haven't played ota competitively since 2003 (at which point I moved to playing ta based games on spring). Still I must remember something from 5 years of mis spent youth :p

    Sort of off topic (Sorry) bUT I am having a hell of a time finding a good mappack. Is there a community map pack somewhere that includes the newer kingdom titesets, alantas ect. Basically looking for quality and not having to download hundreds of maps one at a time.

    Really agree, defeats the whole purpose of the tournament imo.

    Alright. I just think that abuse of the peewee isn't something that proves that a faction is better, it just proves that the faction has more room to cheat. But I guess I'll change the rule in that case.

    I know. Its happened to me. Granted, I never abused peewee.


    It depends largely on the size of the map. The game where I went up against a peewee exploiter was on The Desert Triad- where you spawn only seconds away from your enemy.

    Peewees aren't even good. Just build MTs or Slashers and they're useless.

    Flash is more dangerous imo, as a group of flashes can easily kill a com early game with micro, as there is usually only enough power for a couple of d gun volleys.
