Foonie report man. I only played TA once at a friends house, and it seemed pretty cool, (although i would choose starcraft over TA).

Arm = Core
The units are simply mirrored
that's fugling gay!
But a pretty good report! |

William: You're right. It's not. And thanks. :-)
Anime: I'll try in another report. I WILL do more of these.
Mogalin: True, they are VERY similar. But Arm has those damn pulse guns, where core does not. Arm also has the Spider (a spider-looking thing that can paralyze units) where core does not, arm has the FARK (a "medic") where core does not. Core has the Goliath (a very heavy tank) where Arm does not, Core has the Immolator tower where Arm does not, and of course, the ultimate, Core has the Krogoth, where Arm does not. |

| Doom: This game isn't crap. For one thing the graphics are about a thousand times better. (3D units look SO much better) For another micromanagement, that SC tool of Satan, is almost non-existant in TA. The terrain actually makes sense (what's with all those "ramps" in SC, anyway?) and the terrain actually affects the game! (e.g. you can't shoot through a hill, but you can shoot OVER it) I could tick off about a thousand other things about TA that are better than SC but I don't wanna be my own comment whore. :-P |

See what happens when Hilbs gets ops. Water runs uphill, day becomes night and non-starcraft reports get submited to br.com with <i>screen shots</i>. Do I need to bring back Paper`Shredder?
Anyway just wanted to say that the game looks cool but if the graphics are better than starcraft then where did you get those ss's cause I've seen better on a CGA monitor. |

it's a horrible rip of off SC
especiialy since sc was made 2 almost 3 years ago and the grfx on TA aren't that good
its TOO overhead and makes it look flat |
| #10 Ioti[37493] |
| slip-32-100-230-246.co.us.prserv.net |
Oda: You moron, TA is about 6 months older than SC. Jesus, get your facts straight. :-P
William: I downgraded the .jpg quality a bit to save space, that's probably what the problem is. Indeed, Hilbs is a moron deluxe.

Fear the legos of death.
TA may be 3d, it may even have good gameplay, but I find it hard to care about a fight between a bunch of legos. At least Starcraft has BLOOD, and lots of it. I dunno, maybe TA makes for poor screenshots and looks better in game, but from what I've seen, they look like a bunch of lego bricks killing each other. |

| Death: Yeah, the units don't have as much personality in the still shots. But I'll be damned if they don't move around. It's cool watching the little nanolathe on the construction kbot unfold from the back and pop out. Watching the turret on a storm turn to track an opponent, watching the Annihilator unfold itself from it's housing to blast a unit into atoms.... but yes, on screenshots, they suck. :-) |

| Wow, nice report. I bought TA about 6 months ago, and I still suck :( But I was wondering, I never got around to seeing/fighting a krogoth(I play arm) and could you explain in detail what it does? |
| #14 Executor[37549] |
| cache3.ihug.co.nz |
hmmm..... Now i wonder why didn't he use phoenixes?? Few of them could annihilate your level 1 army in seconds.
Why didn't you use rapiers??? |

Loti: Great report but if you could do me a favor... What is your oppinion on the huge gun (forgot the names, its been a couple years) that both arm and core have that shoot at units across a map whereas you cannont do a damn thing about it (excluding planes)? I love TA but that was 1 of the very few reasons i quit the game! I found it very gay that a turret could have such a range that 1 second you are owning and the next your base is gone (or they target your commander)! Just wonding what ya think!

I swear to god, I'm gonna kill somebody. IT'S NOT LOTI FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!! Now to the questions:
Executor: I dunno why he didn't use phoenixes (which are advanced bombers), but I remember trying to do exactly what you just mentioned against an army of slashers (I had lots of crashers which are very similar) in another game. I had like 16 phoenixes, I killed maybe two slashers. And I didn't use rapiers because I didn't have any aircraft plants at all. That and the fact that I don't really like 'em all that much.
Binjured: Yes, the Big Bertha/Intimidator (core's Big Bertha) is definitely a cheap weapon, but as you could see in this game he still didn't kill me. I was very close to finding it when I spotted his commander instead, which ended the game a little more quickly :-) |

First, I dunno if there is a recorder for Starcraft. The thing about TA is that it uses DirectPlay, so the people who wrote the recorder program for TA just replaced a .dll in the TA directory to intercept the DirectPlay messages and write them to a file. I imagine something similar could be done with Starcraft but I've not seen one.
Second, something's wrong when a report rated "9" only gets one rating and 22 comments. Guess it's cuz it's an "other" game. :-P |

Hey Starcrappers....I bet half of you have never even tried TA, which was out BEFORE Starcrap, actually. And yes, I have played Starcrap. Nice storyline, shame about the game...
I'm a 3rd party developer for TA...when was the last time I saw a 3rd party Starcraft unit. Humm. Or even a good Starcrap 3rd party map with a whole new tileset. And that's before I mention TAWIS, the space TC for TA.
Although Starcrap is better than TA:K. Not that that's hard.... |

| Thanks for sticking up for me Dawn but calling it "Starcrap" doesn't exactly help the cause. :-) |

Nice job. It's hard sometimes to get people to care about a game that they don't play yet... or played, but can't get used to the differences.
It really doesn't matter if TA is a good game or not, this was a good report on it. I think one of the things that makes Starcraft so good and have such a huge and dedicated online following is that it doesn't have alot of 3rd Party units and such. You become very familiar and attached to your favorite units and strategies. You can perfect new strategies... You know that the time you invest learning SC is going to make you a better player for a while and not just until a new unit is thrown into the mix.
In my opinion, Starcraft is like Chess... and adding units would be like adding two new units to a chessboard. The only area where Starcraft gets somewhat old is the amount of success you can have just by powering control groups of goons or hydras and patroling them in to win. Surgical strikes and micro exist in SC, but they are secondary to mass and attack strats.
Anyway, everyone has their own opinions, and it doesn't take away from a good report here.

Ioti, I'm sorry to do this, cause you don't deserve it, but Dawn Falcon, I have a question for you.
If TA is SOOOOO much better, then please, explain to me why Starcraft has propelled Blizzard to the very top of the gaming industry, and Cavedog is struggling. Explain how such a piece of "starcrap" can have such better results.
Now, that said, I have nothing against TA. I've never played it, so I try to keep my judging to a minimum, but I just get pissed off when I see zealot TAers who try to pull this @#%$#.
Like I said Ioti. I'm sorry, but I felt compelled to point that out. |

I don't personally understand "rabid" fans of either game myself. I play both, I enjoy them both, I just enjoy TA more. That doesn't mean I'm gonna call it Starcrap. :-P Still, I do think that Cavedog deserved to have more success than it does, except for that damn TA:K game they put out that really sucked. TA > SC >> TA:K, at least in my opinion.
TA still does have SOME micromanagement, but it's more oriented towards attacking critical targets first than marine/zealot dancing. It's MUCH more oriented towards who knows when to do what, and on a much larger scale than SC. |
