Due to having a really bad upload in my new flat it took a while to upload those...
Two vods of one and the same game (recorded replay):

Not the best game we played (both playing their worst faction with lots of unspent metal ), still fun though.

There are no professional players, but you can check out gameplay videos of good players on my youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIGJ_Jt1C7W0MU5RHn2h10w
Keep in mind not all videos are featuring good players.

And again a new update + a bunch of new videos:

Either download the standalone from post #1 or use the patch to update your current version:

zdraw.dll and zmusi.dll is missing so i can not run the game.(zmusi.dll is nowhere to be found). please include them in the archive. how much of the expansion stuff is included?(i have all of the expansions and they work perfectly in windows 7.)

 

[TaShadan]

Which one did you dl? the link above is just the patch.
If you do not have a previous version installed you need to dl the standalone pack:

[andreasaspenberg]

this project is a joke. no tier 2 aircraft for gok, the ai attacks the moment i build defenses and withdraw once they are destroyed and the gok commander can attack by selv destructing. please add at least all tier 2 builders in the next version.

 

[TaShadan]

What are you talking about?
1. There is Tier 2 aircraft for each faction (right now only 1 Gunship for each faction though).
2. Play vs easy or medium AI. The hard AI is cheating.
3. This mod is still in development and new stuff is added frequently.
4. I am not the creator i just play the mod.

On which map did you play? Do not play on the small maps... they suck. Play on 4P Raindance or 4P River of Flames or download one of my maps:

[andreasaspenberg]

i have only tested the gok and their only aicraft building is tier 1. i played on easy. i know that it is still in development and that is why i made a suggestion. if you are just a player you should let the creator take over this topic.

 

[TaShadan]

GoK has a Tier 2 building too, can be build with T1 aircon. Some units do not have proper icons yet though (just white icons).
You played on easy and lost? check out this beginners guide: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ap5qxr3y4zelkqh/TA Zero Beginners Strategy Guide.pdf?dl=0

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i won. i was however unaware that the gok faction can use an ability to sacrifice their commander to do damage to the enemy. the destruction of my commander destroyed the enemy base but my base was still standing.

 

[TaShadan]

In TA every Commander can suicide. But normally you play with Commander death = losing the game.

 

[Dr Super Good]

The Commander death victory approach usually results in rather cheap play tactics. Including suicide runs just to kill a commander, where the units ignore all other units and explicitly focus down the commander. This was a big problem in Supreme Commander and its sequel. As you were limited in area to place your commander and your commander toughness was very limited it became impossible to stop such death runs, especially of tougher air units such as Experimental class units.

As such I usually used to play where you needed to kill all structures/units to win. This made such suicide runs near pointless and so encouraged bigger army battles.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i usually play in such a way that the game continues even if the commander gets killed. i once lost my commander early in the game but i won because i managed to build enough forces afterwards.

I agree but if you play big enough maps in Zero this is hardly happening.

Which is fine too but you should still play one of my maps for better gameplay experience or at least maps like 4P River of Flames.

Would there be anyone interested in playing a alpha tournament? I might even provide some prize money and a bunch of steam keys.
