this is the thread where you can say, "hey guys look, this game that normally costs money is up for free right now" https://www.humblebundle.com/store?tropico3fr_ So go redeem it, I guess? not sure how good it is, probably crappy, but what the fuck, it's free money. |

I haven't. Rising Storm/Red Orchestra 2 is only $4.99 reight nough. Reight aftur I decided I should beye ight. Iff anyough is interested, buy Rising Storm, not Red Orchestra 2 because RS has all the RO2 content except for single player and single player is nothing spectacular. |

I went rafting down a river through several zones without a loading screen. I also traversed a mountain range through 4 zones without a loading screen. I also got eaten by seabugs while at sea in a rowing boat. The only thing that annoys me greatly is the player housing zones, no one wants orderly housing. It's a cancer on the landscape, which is surprisingly lifelike... |

After 30 fps you can't see much of a difference anyways. |

Tried it once. I got caught by a bug on one of the missions which prevented me from progressing any further. I didn't feel like starting over so I quit and never thought about playing it again. |

Nowhere near a free game, but I just bought Wargame: Red Dragon to replace RUSE for myself as it suffers from lack of players and connection issues. RUSE is and under-appreciated RTS that was all about tactics, the meta-game and deceit. |

RUSE is more like a traditional RTS. Each map has supply depots in specific locations that provide a finite amount of money, which is your only resource. Other buildings can be built anywhere. You have to build on the supply depot to use it, the depot and all buildings can be destroyed or captured. You can also build admin buildings which are more expensive and provide slower income, but they don't run out. So you need to invest in admin buildings before your supply depots run out, or you'll be left with a very small income from your headquarters building. There's no point making admins on the small map because the game almost always ends before the depots run out. On larger maps it's a balancing act because every admin means less units, and against an aggressive player that can mean a loss, but you don't want to be out-boomed. Supply depots send supply trucks back to your headquarters in groups of 3, these can be destroyed by enemy units to cut your supply lines and the money from those trucks is gone for good. When you select a building and place it's outline, a building truck travels from the nearest headquarters to the building site. This truck can be destroyed and you'll lose all the money you spent on the building. Aircraft are the best for that job. To build units you must build the appropriate building (Armoury, Artillery/Anti-air base, etc.). The more of a production building you have the faster you can make its units and research. The production is global and will automatically make the unit from the closest building to where you want it deployed. Unit hitpoints aren't shown, but it's not important, they have armour levels of 0-5 and each level can take a certain amount of damage before it routs or is destroyed. Units have different weapon types that can damage different unit types. Armour level acts as a damage modifier. Things like infantry obviously have 0 armour level. Building trucks are 0. Planes sort of have their own thing. Recon and unit detection mechanics are very important. Undetected units appear as small circles (light units), large circles (heavy units), or flying arrows (guess). These can be hidden by the Radio Silence ruse. If you want to see what they are you need to send a recon unit. They'll be revealed automatically if any of your units get close enough though, but the reveal distance is shorter than the maximum firing range of units and you can't fire at unrevealed units (except for artillery) so if your enemy has recon and you don't then you are at a big disadvantage. Forests, cities, mountains, etc.. block the recon line of sight. Some units (recon, infantry, AT guns, flak) can hide inside of forests and city centres where they can engage in surprise attacks and are only revealable by recon, not proximity, so they can ambush without being fired on. City centres require an air recon. The spy ruse works as well. Infantry are the best ambush units, they are cheap and a few infantry can take out a whole column of tanks if they stay hidden. However, only noobs forget to send recon with their units so it's not easy to pull off. The RUSEs. You gain 1 ruse point every interval as long as you still have a headquarters building, up to a maximum of 8. The map is divided into sectors and you each team can place 2 ruses in a single sector at one time. These are what give the game it's flavour. Here's the list: http://ruse.wikia.com/wiki/Ruses |
