Whats the point of giving us unit customization if you can take two or three of the starting tier units and roll across the entire map with a big blob of them?

In starcraft if you did that, yeah its
great n' all but big AOE damage siege tanks roll up and ruin your day. You cant let players blob spam like that without giving other players a way to deal with it.

Arty n' flame units dont cut it, mainly...

of units on the map in no time. This totally makes the game not fun to play as it is just blob vs blob. The 'unique' identities of your units are totally worthless as you can't even see your units in the 50v...

Well, Blobbing is an issue, and changing the economy would only be a first patchwork solution. I'll put it to you that the ressource gathering is a certainly a contributer, but not the main cause
of the problem.
Try seeing it this way: If we were to say, that blobbing is one way of playing that may stay in the game, what other playstyles are supported? Answer: None, you can only counter a blob with another...

The map design also leads to blobbing with all the narrow channels roads and chokes where do you want to turn? i even would have problems to make a u-turn with a fiat punto...

This won't do anything - the economy is not the problem when it comes to blobbing

Exactly....

There is a need to expand out - whoever expands out the most and gets the most eco gets the bigger blob and wins the game. This is how the game works in its current state beyond the early game
.

If you sit in your base "building up your blob" you will lose to someone who spreads out their base and builds up their bigger blob and then attacks.

You don't want want turrets to be too strong...

So, a number of threads have already been made about the blobs that form in game. Most focus on the economy side of things, but that is not what I wanted to discuss here.
Unit movement has also been
and more cumbersome. I think variable and slower turning speed will greatly reduce the blob feel of armies. Heavy armor could have this effect.

2. Accelleration. Some heavier units could accelerate slower...

units not able to be as close to each other as they are now. Leave a little gap (not too big a gap because that would make AOE damage useless) and that would result in a blob consisting of a certain
and there might not much further tweaking needed against blobbing, other than tweaking the economy a bit.

The more spread out nature of armies after such a fix would probably require AoE damage (artillery, grenade...

(not too big a gap because that would make AOE damage useless) and that would result in a blob consisting of a certain amount of units would appear bigger and more spread out, also maybe not being able...

Hello Dev Since this is an early access game , there's a long way to improve it .
1) first issue is the the blob
2) second issue there's no rush tactic eco booming always Win vs rush which lead
effective rush tactic will make the game much and much more interesting not a blob and economy booming festival.

thank you .

and remove those 3 units matches start with , one unit is enough to scout...

What is Blobbing? :(...

Same here!

Good idea!
But a lot more needs to be done vs that Blobbing "fun". We have no more rock paper scissors at some point!



- Harvester HP reduction and
- having buggies that are more faster...

Just a simple question to devs : if everyone is complaining about blobs, why can't you just reduce the number of units by 2 or 3 on the battlefield by increasing the resources needed...

I have an idea to get rid spammy / blob of death from this game....

by simply restrict player from start production on any unit until they have same amount money to the price of unit they want
problem of mindless blob battle in 8 bits and this game. (even EA c&c game)

It also prevent other problem like AI/Player try to hide unfinish structure to drag out the game. since they need 2000Cr to start...

Hey TGHoly,

No need to apologise for your English, it's perfectly fine! Also the fact you can speak multiple languages is awesome.

Thanks for sharing your feedback on blobbing/spammy units with us....

I heard from a dev after the changes that the idea for the Artillery change was to counter blobbing because they have aoe. This in it's self isn't wrong, sure it's misguided as artillery were
the core of the blob itself already and one of the reasons for blobbing because you needed support for your artillery, and the healer nerf was a good step towards this.

My first problem is that I think...

In Red Alert 3, blobbing was punished by the millions of cheap AOE powers. A power that was free to use could wipe out an entire army that costed 1/4 of the map's resources. Free. As in, a free anti
-blob option on a timer for all factions, usable anywhere on the map.

This GREATLY stopped blobbing and promoted tactial squads. Combined with the fact every unit had an alt mode or attack, microing vice...

to stop the blobbing u need to bring aggressive play and rush tactics , it's a well known strategy that works in rts , just bring back aggressive play...

But yes, Blobbing is a problem......

Granted the eco boom / insane boring blobbing is fixed first, i like your list a lot....

control is half of the winning the game.

Of course Blob is the current problem which needs to be addressed same goes with concurrent problem of economy of the game.

We need a gamestyle which rewards...

As for blob vs blob. Yeah, I agree, I think it got worst at 8-bit armies, please avoid that. With the tinkering system you can literally give the player...
