So, I finally decided to jump into a vehicle and I was wondering. Anyone else find the smoke that comes off of cannon shots ridiculous? I feel like it completely makes vehicle combat ridiculous at close range.
its empires... if its broken then you'll eventually get used to it and stop noticing it after a while... so yeah.. just ignore it...
You'll get used to it, just like all the other wierd stuff you can't even remember used to annoy you about infantry combat. Nothing is as satisfying as charging a HE medium through the billowing nuke spam haze.at S bend and laughing as you emerge from the other side having killed a couple of slow, overheated heavies. Particles rock, even though they make me drive into ditches and I'm pretty sure a year of particle aboose is the reason my laptop GPU is now fried and needs a reflow; I just can't get enough.
And eventually, you'll actually defend the problem and call it a feature. I wish we could bottle this stuff, the effect is magnificent.
That's only a problem if you consider code sex to be a bad thing. Code sex is a valid programing style, and is capable of matching and even exceeding the capabilities of other coding styles. I applaud MOOtant's innovative code fucking, which will make Empires a much better mod in the long run. *Totally straight face here* FYI, I'm not mocking MOOtant, I'm just making a joke based on how "fuck", which means sexual intercourse, is a curse word.
