Effects: Epic sea battles: Cannon fire+smoke, shell splash

Re: Effects: Epic sea battles: Cannon fire+smoke, shell spla

Indeed. Real speed would be too fast, but it could be according to scale (because speed uses distance). It takes away some of the credibility if missiles and projectiles go as fast as throwing water balloons. And raining guardian plasma on the frontline was extremely satisfying. <3

Very true! Supcom battles looked like little children playing with flashlights compared to TA.

That's a very accurate way to put it. The battles in TA definitely looked better.

I also really liked how TA units exploded into a bunch of pieces when they did finally die. Why not take that and expand upon it. Have chunks of units being blown off as they take more and more damage. I am not necessarily talking about component damage, I don't think that really fits in a TA style RTS all that well, but purely as a visual indicator of health.
