Haha exactly what I was thinking lol, getting 8 people, maybe even 12 people on 5,5ghz on the newer architectures (sandy+) good luck with that xD I'd be surprised if you could get everybody under 180 cpu rating to be honest

5.5 GHz OC? Let's be realistic here, there are very few chips out there capable of that and even fewer people with the will and resources to do it. Especially in a community as small as FAF.

I feel.you. Supcom can satisfy all kinds of tastes, including mega games.
But you speak of 40x40 or 81x81 maps with at least 6v6 or maybe preferably 8x8 players.

Well, unfortunately there's no processor and most.importantly supporting software to
Benefit from the potential of modern chips, that can facilitate such a game.
Supposing you speak of a.decent game, where there's not only an action every
10 min s, ie there's continuous movement of.troops and supposing the game evolves.to more than
4000 units on the map,.it is just impossible.
Forget -2 speed and forget the "no potato cpu". At 4000 units you will.run from 0 to. -4, even if all
Players have state of the art pcs. As you move to 5000 you will be hitting -4 to -10.

So, while.desirable such a game would be so slow.if it wouldn't crash already, that it's for all intents and purposes
NOT FEASIBLE. Wait until the world passes from the stage of the mobile "revolution", to seriously
Again work on computing and then you will have your mega game.

And anything even slightly less than state of the art will have you crawling at negative speeds way before 4000 units,
Which is the sad reality.

You say you want t1 spam and build up. That's not going to happen on a large map. Also I believe its ~8 antis for countering yolona. But that's only going to protect that single area. And use 120mass per second and you can't stall or they will stop building.

on another note I'd play

I think that the type of map he was envisioning would lead to t1 spam, but only if it was a lot closer to 20x20 than 40x40. Imagine something the size of setons, but with several smaller seas rather than 2 big oceans, and with players from opposing teams all mixed together across the map, so they have to fight through to link up with each other.

If still even say a big enough map, rather big or not, t1 should be fairly easy to still come by..one way or another..

I figured I was going to let anyone in then balance as best I can. It's gonna be an odd game so I don't think rating matters that much.
I'll check out debris, thanks.

I will join by the way, as long as there are no T4 mexes or other alterations to economy, other than disabling Paragon. Also OP, you should state the rating range you would like players to be in.

I think Debris is a nice map for this, I last played it in GPG era.

Alright, some interesting reactions so far. I say we give a little more time before trying to hash out details; it's clear everyone has a different idea about what is going to break this. As for the date, I am gonna estimate the weekend after this one (sept 5-6) at some point. We will probably have enough people committed by then.
