Link to your GitHub? I'd love to play the version with your improvements!
replyThe comparison was against the original game. I haven't played on the computer since ages, but that was my impression the times I played it. I'm not deep into all the nuances of the game just that it was considerably better that the 1995 release.
reply1995 was the original "Command and Conquer" not "Red Alert". In the original C&C the computer wouldn't attack sandbox walls which was basically godmode since you could just fence them off heh.
replyThe load/save is what kills me. It's a great project, but having to wait 2 hours for a game to load, fans blaring on my laptop, makes it less playable.
replyFor context, I love huge, massive maps with loads of players. OpenRA replays the entire game to restore, it doesn't have a save-current-state routine.
So 20 hours of massive map + 8 players means 2 hours of pegged CPU to reload the save.
Heartbreaking.

replyIt's super impressive this works at all.
Perhaps because their focus is on multiplayer, where saving and loading isn't as in demand as SP
replyNow, that is what I call taking the "Command Design Pattern" to heart!
