I'm nearly certain nobody has. Only a couple of people have even made maps.
So a patrol route like Supreme Commander?
I said DLC maps not scenarios, Tag Utter's solution does work for scenarios though.
If I remember right it works in DX11, so it was never removed.
It's been possible to play the DLC maps the whole time. Go to Steam\steamapps\common\Ashes of the Singularity\Assets\Maps and copy and paste the maps from there to the Escalation maps folder.
I remember in FAF for a very long time high skilled players would go first bomber and micro the thing to drop it's bombs off in a shorter pass and to take sharper turns, I think it ended most matches in 5 minutes. They had to take away a lot of it's effectiveness when it was discovered it was getting rid of most of the new players. I'm guessing it's just the Dominator that is used for the air rushes. Quite a lot of videos on Never's channel that I've watched
I think any player of an average skill and up in FA needs micro to win. The game is surprisingly micro heavy. There's definitely macro in it but TAG Utter's examples are things you'd see used quite frequently in matches. There's lots of other uses of micro in the game. Ashes in comparison nearly plays itself. You are 100% correct in saying Starcraft has much more micro, FA is probably somewhere in between with the use of macro and micro and Ashes then is at t
FA can actually be very micro heavy. Lots of high ranked players micro some of the units to get quite an advantage, dodge attacks from a unit etc.... Overall it is a macro game but it's unique in that macro and micro are integral parts of it.
It's a fine balance they have, at one side they have to think of the multiplayer community and on the other the 97% of their player base. I'm sure quite a lot of skirmish players like the artillery post as it currently is. I think some other counter to it instead of making it rubbish would be preferable. It's good to see the T2 air buffed. Are the orbital nullifiers working now or are they still bugged?
More stuff is coming than I could have ever hoped for. I'm very excited for what lies ahead.
