Reply to How Resource Management Actually Works? in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Am just popping this to top of list again... I think this is an interesting thing to ponder. I don't know if there is any strategy to resource management at this point... but would be curious what others think. What strategies are you applying. The above just represents my own thoughts on the matter. Am still just trying to figure everything out...

Reply to Prioritization of Production in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

OK... so let me clarify. When you produce at a factory, as far as I know, the unit will pop out and go to a rally point that you define. However, when you call for reinforcements, as far as I know, the unit will become part of the army (without extra clicks), and will proceed directly to its place in the formation. These two things can happen simultaneously -- meaning you can have a queue at the factory AND be calling for re

Reply to Droney pelletey floatey thingies in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

So, I played last night, and of course the computer "orbital drone thingied" me a bunch of times. I tried to buff with a number of appolo, and it didn't make a difference. I was still pummeled by the damage. Doesn't seem like there is a reasonable counter, other than retreat. And you get trounced as you're turning tail too.

Reply to How about one race ranked mp? in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I'm a Stracraft II devotee. Seems like they have worked out their asymetrics pretty well. It can be done. Doesn't always ruin the game. Can make it really good. I generally play a single SC race.. literally thousands of games. I've even become decent at it. I find that my strategies are PARTLY defined by the races of my opponents. And the game... as a strategy exercise... has taken a LOONG

Prioritization of Production in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Let's say I have two factories and a dreadnaught. I click the first factory and set it to produce one brute unit on a repeated cycle (continuous brute production). I click the second factory, and I tell it to produce two hermes (Just two. Then nothing). I click the dreadnaught and tell it to call for a whole bunch of medics. What happens? What is the prioritization of the orders? What is the underlying log

Changing reinforcement orders in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I started to setup reinforcements on a dreadnaught last night. I thought I was calling for Artemis (awesome), but then realized I had called for 10 hermes (worthless). And thenI went to look for a way to change the reinforcement request... .and couldn't figure it out. Recommend that it should be setup so that right click removes... same as factory controls. But at any rate there DOES need to be a way to fix reinforcements... I was for

How Resource Management Actually Works? in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

OK, so I've probably clocked about 15 hours in the game, and I'm at the point where I am getting more curious about certain essential (but somewhat opaque) aspects of the game. Specifically, last night I was starting to pay more attention to resource management. I grasp the concept that you're supposed to claim the resource nodes (so they can start churning out resources for you). I also grasp the concept that you can bui

Reply to Suggestions for tutorial in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

My thought was maybe like a tutorial area that goes deeper... exploring nuances and strategy... maybe like a mini library of interactive exercises (or short levels). And then the campaign which teaches you to play at a basic level as you progress. ... and them some addiitonal reference material on the website. Either way, they aren't quite there yet. I suppose that consolidation of the tutori

When moving units to be added to army (blue arrow) in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I noticed this was being a bit glitchy, but couldn't figure out why. Dreadnaught was destroyed, and seemed like I still had some units left -- air and ground. So I tried to move them to be aded to another army (blue arrow). SOME units were added. Others weren't. I don't know if this was because of the reinforcement logic (only accepting additions on the re

Reply to reinforcement bug in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I noticed problems with reinforcements too. Seemed like certain troops stopped receiving reinforcements after a while... Could have been that the reinforcements were gong elsewhere... maybe... but that didn't seem like that was happening either. And then some reinforcements would show up totally ungrouped -- which is likely a function of the bug you have identified. I also noted that when a reinforcement pops from
