Re: A Suggestion for Headcrab Canisters

The nerf that I'd like to see is just a cap on how many canister launchers a player can build

Re: Disbanding troops and moving/destroying your own buildin

I think it takes away a part of the risk of building a unit. I believe that if the player is not refunded any resources for deleting the unit, then they are still punished sufficiently for taking the risk and losing. They're also missing out on all the time it took to produce that unit and all the ...

Re: Combine Snipers Are So Ridiculously OP...

I've had some success fighting them with vortigaunts and antlion swarms with an RPG rebel or two, but they are out of control

Re: Map Spawn Placement

I think a little UI tweaking would be nice, specifically I'd enjoy seeing how many players a map can hold next to its name in the map selection screen, and I think it would be extremely helpful if player spawns were labeled in the small picture preview of the map in the lobby, which would solve the ...

Re: rebel manned turrets broke since patch on dec 15

Just wanted to update and say that I haven't had this issue in a couple of days, and I assume it was fixed in a patch I haven't heard about. Thanks devs!

Re: A Nerf on Headcrab Canisters

I agree. I think you've managed to capture the spirit of losing to headcrab launchers pretty well, and the most irritating part of losing troops to headcrabs is not only have you lost your position and those troops, but now there are even more enemies trying to kill you and the combine's army is sti...

Re: Assume Control/BattleField

I could see this being a silly game mode where one person controls the RTS side and an ally can take control of different units from the FPS perspective. Games like this have come and gone and have always been one of my favorites (especially Savage 2) However I don't think that sort of gameplay is ...

Re: Disbanding troops and moving/destroying your own buildin

I'd start deleting units that were about to be killed and moving my base to the other side of the map if I felt the enemy's pushing were to be successful. I don't think deletion should refund resources

Re: Vorts [Needs rebalancing]

I feel like they just shouldn't be bullet resistant AND highly mobile in a game where most of the units are using bullets

Re: Vorts [Needs rebalancing]

I think Mr. Darkness' observations are apt. Giving Combine a thumper defensive structure would be a great addition in my opinion, but of course other rebel players would have to have a reasonable counter to antlions too

Re: Game is not well optimized

My buddy's problem was unrelated to Lambda Wars as it turns out, and his runs just fine now aside from not being able to zoom in/out in game. Thought it would be worth updating on

Re: Vorts [Needs rebalancing]

I agree. Canon fodder rebels is especially on point, a lot of the time it seems like the rebel troops are just way weaker than their combine counterparts in addition to be extra vulnerable to grenades and energy orbs. I've wiped out entire rebel armies with a couple of grenades. With the vortigaunt,...

Is the mod coded entirely in Python, or are there other languages involved?
