If you start to meet better opponents, you may have to change your name to "igetmyasskicked"

There's a nice "Help I'm new" topic at the top of this forum, which goes through the uses of FAF and mechanics of FA, here's the direct link to that post: http://www.faforever.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3058#p30314

In case you have any question related to things like auto-reclaim, patrol, engineer assistance, it'll most likely be there.

You can use a patrol or an attack-move order on an engineer.

When you will start being matched against better player, you will see that early aggression is necessary in FA too

Having alot of fun with this game and starting to get my eco understanding on how to build. In pa you can pump out army very fast but it seems in this gameyou have to macro more then make army in the beginning. Reclaiminf helps out loads in this game i learned. I wish there was a area command like pa though. Alot more efficient.

Not sure if I'm writing in the void, but all this was done already.

Nordic has to find out what they can do and cannot do, and we have to wait.

^That requires a few things we don't have access to...

Like the actual rights to the game.

Community driven effort and all that. :/

Perhaps the game was played on the steam multiplayer client and not through FAF?

most of us also do not need a year to learn how to spell 'if'.

HI im Kalherine from PA

Welcome ...
probably you now me from PA have brought some of PA players to here dont now if you one off them but i will try to bring moore, this community is fabulous and the game is really without any comparison to any other rts that you have experienced.

Always tries to see how are the rules of the game and begins to track players that you're start to now and like has friends over time, so team up with them if you like because then you will feel better for developing your skills.

Yo can ask on lobby questions about anithing players are very nice and will answer to you.

Do not worry if you go wrong now, it is perfectly normal, for us here that already play for some time we were probably worse in the beginning then you are now.

Enjoy this wonderful game and this fantastic community.

If you can bring more friends always good.

Good luck m8

After each game you click on the score button, which will take you through some postgame statistics then kill the program. To start a new game, you must launch again via the Find Games tab.

EDIT: I can't find the OP or the guy he mentions in the IRC records or the Replay vault... So I can't check for this game. If, indeed, it even happened...

you can check replay for cheats enable/disable on online replay parser, you just need replay ID ( number in replay file name)
http://fafafaf.bitbucket.org/

edit: however it always says wrong victory condition "demoralization"
and "omniCheat" is option for AI so do not worry about that
check "CheatsEnabled" option

Welcome to FAF and too bad you had such a bad start. There are plenty of friendly people around and I myself havn't really encountered anyone who tried to cheat (play team games most of the time though). Anyway, hope you don't let that negative experience impress you too much. If you have questions about the game you can ask me in the lobby anytime.
Have fun

If cheats are disabled in the lobby, you can't do that.
