they have indeed, and now we are pretty much awesome. Nice avatar btw, SCII ftw!

Topic: Battle Dawn / Pro Way Of Conquering

eventually your overhead will shoot up and you will have a huge cost. Also, range units could take on twice as many armor units and win, without a scratch. Range units fire 3 times as more as armor units, and first. Moar bullet = moar kills

Topic: Battle Dawn / Earth 3 speed

as you can see, Pfooh has helpfully posted about our awe-inspiring army. The battle report is:
343200 metal 84000 oil 6032 soldiers (losses)
651800 metal 256200 oil 3956 soldiers (losses)

the attackers won, 57% performance

Topic: Battle Dawn / Earth 3 speed

also, do you have any relics?

Topic: Battle Dawn / Earth 3 speed

GDI now has 6 relics, due to my brother just being a general pain in the butt. That will never happen again now.

Topic: Battle Dawn / Earth 3 speed

mhmm? Guess what GDI is doing right now and has done? Taking down AFF.
And it’s working, and you kicked lionheart, you top player. He’s pissed.
Well, join AFF if you want!

Topic: Battle Dawn / Idea: Infinite Que

or an option that would say "Make X chassis with weapon X and upgrade X when resource cap is reached. Or maybe “Make (read above) Until I come back online” or “for 40 ticks”
That’d probably put an end to all the complaints about “15000? That’s nothing!!”

Topic: Battle Dawn / ranking system

conquest is newb smashing

Conquest is conquering. Noob smashing is killing weaker people. The terms are not interchangeable.

beating up the weak

Topic: Battle Dawn / ranking system

conquest is what BD is about, not noob smashing. If you want that there are some very handy servers on the main battle dawn site that you can go onto, see how long you last against those donators.

Topic: Battle Dawn / BattleDawn Mentoring Center

well there are plenty of badgers which is pretty annoying in a way but still those are the pretty good people. starters still need a chance, why not give it to them?

Topic: Battle Dawn / BattleDawn Mentoring Center

well maybe they don’t leave after the badges and are encouraged to stay after seeing what a great game it is when they try to get badges. And if there are so many boosters and failures then how come there are so many people in the top 100? 100 to be exact?

Topic: Battle Dawn / BattleDawn Mentoring Center

For all gate beginners out there:

1. Take a squad e.g. squad 5, and park it on the gate in question. (If you have the gate building then your colony counts as a gate)
2. Select squad 5.
3. Click on another gate under your alliance’s control. It should now be about to launch to that gate. DO NOT launch it.
4. Click warp to gate.
5. Send me all your resources and tokens (optional)

Topic: Battle Dawn / Suggestion

so essentially a loan?

Topic: Battle Dawn / BattleDawn Mentoring Center

so even if you’re on the Kong servers it’s the battledawn forums?
mkay, it’s posted!

Topic: Battle Dawn / BattleDawn Mentoring Center

if you are starting out mid-era, structures first then focusing on any military. You will get conquered no matter what, just focus on buildings. For real strategies, check out the link at the top. It will have some guides at the end of the post

Topic: Battle Dawn / this game sucks

rc, what’s your IGN and world? I’d like to pound you for this traitorous remark.
No, really.

Topic: Battle Dawn / BattleDawn Mentoring Center

also, I will provide skype msn or gmail chat if neccessary

Topic: Battle Dawn / Physical features

great, quit. Did you donate or anything? Probably not. Did you troll the game? Most definitely.
Colony names didn’t really do anything. Flaming about them while off-topic isn’t the way to do it. Submit a complaint to Andrew

Topic: Battle Dawn / Update: Still Bugs, Quitting

Frankly, flaming and trolling at the game won’t do anything. Sometimes they do things to the game that people don’t like but are necessary. e.g. the resource cap. Just up your cap limit using tokens, it stops the top players from being too overpowered. If you don’t like that, well, submit a formal complaint to Andrew and stop trolling, you might actually get something done.

Topic: Battle Dawn / Physical features

This is a board for discussing the topic at hand. Messing up the game does not count as taking away colony names (simpler in my opinion) and decreasing wreck spawn rate (overpowered in my opinion) or “removed” vacation (annoying, but so no-one abuses it.)

Topic: Battle Dawn / Physical features

well why not add just a bit of depth and some hints and amendments to the tutorial?
Also Dzonis, slandering the admins (who ADMINistrate the game, coding is up to the coders) doesn’t really accomplish anything. And how does it eff up the game?

Topic: Battle Dawn / Physical features

Maybe Battle Dawn could have advantages to the terrain?
For example oil and metal OPs would be more beneficial in certain areas e.g. Middle East and North America respectively.
Maybe not just that but maybe you can’t see troop movements on the other side of a mountain if you have no radar on that side!
Maybe OPs and colonies in desert areas would have less growth but more easily defended and green areas would have no pros or cons. Mountains would be easily defended and give better sight but much less fertile, to name a few terrains.

It already happens to a lesser degree in Fantasy worlds, with mines only in mountains and lumber camps only in forests, why not expand it?

Topic: Battle Dawn / Trade?

I guess that makes sense.
If anyone wants to lead this somewhere, feel free, I get bork’s point now.
Wasn’t a bad idea though!

Topic: Battle Dawn / Trade?

the world economy fluctuates all the time so why not a model based off of it?
Also, the conversion center is much more inefficient and what if you want to profit off of trading? Maybe your alliance is in difficult times? Just some injections now and then would be fine, from time to time. I can’t imagine it would be that difficult to manage if there are some simple interfaces. Just the net amount of metal and oil and a ratio between the two and the option to add metal or oil for the admin?
Then again, I have no experience in this.
