Big new update today!

You can now continue playing after the other team died. The game ends after you beat stage 7. If by that time both teams are still alive, stage 7 continues till one team is dead. Stage 7 has high tier units, so it gets real intense, even on Normal difficulty.

The UI now also has countdown timers that show the time till the next wave. You can hover over them for a short description of the wave.

Full list of changes in 5.18:

* When beating the other team in Survival Versus you can now keep on playing to beat the final stage
* Survival Classic games now end in victory when the final stage has been completed
* Added timed objectives for each survival stage
* Added Escalation Speed lobby option which allows modifying how fast the game escalates to higher tier stages
* Added Unit Amount lobby option which allows modifying how many survival units spawn
* Players on one side of the map are now always allied in Survival Versus (no need to set teams in the lobby)
* Reduced survival air experimental base health to 25000
* Added health increase to survival air experimentals
* Survival units inside transports now have their shields on
* Removed spawn delay lobby options for T1, T2, T3 and T4 stages (replaced by new Escalation Speed option)
* Removed spawn frequency lobby options for T1, T2, T3 and T4 stages (replaced by new Unit Amount option)
* Removed Aggression Tracking option from the lobby (already non functional since 5.17)

It's been a while since I posted here and a ton of improvements have been made since, see below.

Please beware that the map is now named "Final Rush Pro 5" and no longer uses a version suffix like "Final Rush Pro 5.11". This allows for automatic updates to the latest version. So beware that "Final Rush Pro 5.11" is obsolete, and to play the latest version, you need "Final Rush Pro 5".

* Fatboys can now be build when artillery and nukes are disabled

* Fixed paragon event to only be triggered by completed paragons

* Player nukes and T3/T4 arty are now disabled by default
* Added option to enable or disable player nukes and T3/T4 arty

It does not, though adjusting to the number of players is a good feature to have. Sending in less units is easy to do. I don't know how to get rid of the mass spots though, and think it is somewhat important to only spawn those for present players. I asked about that in viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13387&p=138075#p138075

does the number of units change in proportion to the number of players?

* Massively increased base health of each hunter to 75k

Regarding unit drops:

Maybe something like one lvl below that what comes from center.. Like if t2 on the field those special transporter drops some t1 units with maybe 1-2 T2 unit( even those units scares some guys ) and so on but not further than T3.

Regarding when:
you can add them as a extra special event maybe to set up how strong, how much in lobby settings or leave them as a normal event.

Regarding transporter:
depends what you set in the lobby settings so if they are unkillerable so you have to deal with them

also i like the "trololololo" transporter

Having extra challenges and ways of playing is nice. At what stage of the game do you imagine such drops? Would they be for all 4 players? Where would the transports come from? Would you be able to shoot them down before or would they be unkillable? What would they drop? (Perhaps they carry a paragon and when you shoot them above your base you get fkced? Transport name: "trolololololo lololo" just kidding...)

5.7 so far has:

* Added increase of transport HP over time (same ratio as the other survival units)
* Added message to notify players of drowning ACUs
* Fixed bug causing Vision Centers to become killable after being captured twice
* Fixed bug causing Team HP Bonus to be applied twice (once on the total HP and once on the % of HP)
* The 3 groups of bombers in the strategic bombers random event now spawn with 5 second delay in between them

Hey guys,

as we already talked here some ideas..
some unexpected drops behind the lane(behind your base) would be fun,just a few to surprise and keep the game interesting and keep the players busy.

It seems to have fixed itself. Still no idea what is going on with that.

Now released version 5.6 with these changes:

* The Hill Guards (GCs) are now hostile to both teams
* The bot now stops spawning T2 units once the T4 stage has been reached
* The bot now has vision and omni on the entire map
* Intel shared with the players has been reduced to a t1 radar in the hills that share their intel with all players
* The Vision Centers now have a very high HP to make them doubly unkillable (since once apparently is not enough in FAF)
* Removed (recently broken) lobby option to disable teleporting (in favour of the lobby unit restriction tool)
* The shields of the bots units (most notably the T3 transports) no longer flicker due to power shortage

Well Shamble, I added two extra start bombers just for you!

Capture.PNG

I hope that like this it is a lot less likely they get someones ACU even when it is shielded, which sucks in games where you have just 1 ACU.

Do you mean that the transports should drop them off closer to the center of the map?

No I was thinking more if they just spawned in the middle(no transports) it might be easyer to have a more even distribution of experimentals between the players. yes this would mean you could no longer shoot em down but does anyone play with that lame option on anyway ??

The transports make no difference in this. And they add more to the map than just the ability to shoot them down if that is enabled, so I am not removing them.

I'm a bit worried about you changing the default easy...

I'm not sure what you are getting at. The difficulty preset options from 5.3 will all still be in 5.4, though some of them will be renamed so things still make sense naming wise given the additions in 5.4. If you do not like the default difficulty, you can pick one of the other presets. And if you do not like these you can use the very detailed lobby options to do what you want. Both these presets and most of the options are new in 5.x, so again, nothing possible in 4.x has been taken away.

If you have some special combo of options for playing with some mod then by all means contribute a preset for those. Relevant file: https://github.com/JeroenDeDauw/FinalRu ... ptions.lua
