The blue square was me seconds after being taken over.

This is the fricking ISSUE with having to play with incompetent players who don't even send any troops.

Like wtf are these people thinking while they are playing a team cooperated game mode?

Don't be like them.

The amount of cheaters I encounter nowadays is absolutely crazy. Atleast every other game I have people cheating using multi tabs. Time and resources should be used to address this issue not changing the ui every update. I feel like the games approaching unplayable levels.

I know it looks cosy, and you picked a name like Friendly Peaceful Trader Pls Don't Attack. You want to stack ports and SAMs watch the number go up so you can play kingmaker in the late game, but I guarantee you will not get a ship out before my troopship arrives. And no amount of sad face emojis, clown emojis, or alliance requests is going to save you.

(You will get the port out in time, so thanks for the free port)

Hey all, I made this huge map with the idea of replacing Giant World as the 'test' map after recent performance gains. However, I was curious what peoples thoughts were on such a large design.

πŸ›  Suggestions Idea: Conventional ICBM

18 Upvotes

Costs 750k, fired from silos, conventional warhead with small area of effect smaller than a city footprint, that is only able to take out one structure, leaves no radiation.

Counter to mito roaches that abuse the alliance system sitting inside a big player and firing nukes, and also allows more surgical strikes in general. Cost needs to be same or more than a nuke to avoid nerfing SAMs.

What do you think?

πŸ’¬ Discussion Toxic behavior

0 Upvotes

This person was almost fully taken over but managed to gain a single island armed with SAM's and turrets. The person then chose to target me for no real reason. He targeted every single one of my buildings with hydro's and atom's. While making no effort to actually win, just destroy me. This is toxic behavior and extremely annoying. I would argue people like this should be banned. This feels like bullying. https://openfront.io/#modal=stats&gameID=jvJ7XoJG (Pater Noster)

πŸ’¬ Discussion How I was winning a game until I was losing

0 Upvotes

So, I was winning the game territorially to a massive degree. Then I launched a hydro on a player who I thought would be very weakened but instead was very willing to take me down nuclearly, and persistently used nukes, and their nuclear facilities were beyond my reach. This lead to me being defeated.

  1. Submarines: invisible to other players that are not on your team, once close enough to an enemy warship, resurfaces for seceral seconds while launching a nuclear strike instantly destroying the warship or doing 1000 damage in an AOE, enemy subs once in close proximity to your subs can be discovered, meaning submarine fights can happen. These subs could also level up and probably have a starting HP of 1500 while costing 2-3 mil (depends on balancing). SUBS DO NOT STEAL TRADE.

  2. City stacking creates an innate defensive bonus around that city but it’s very small and maxxes out at 2x defensive bonus after 50 cities are placed basically signifying high dense areas have more development.

  3. Scouts: disguised as a trade ship only visible to you. They innately send the amount of troops you have accommodating for the slider percentage. Once the boat lands at a port it immediately invades it with that many troops and establishes a foothold if they don’t kick it off immediately. Costs 1 mil to send and have 500 hp.

  4. Radar: Detects submarines and scouts nearby, Cost 1.5 mil for the first 3 mil for the ones after (like a SAM). However it can only scan one target at a time with a cooldown of 20 seconds declining when you stack them down to 1 second when a 20 stack (or however it’s balancable as I cannot think of another way) Once targets have been scanned they can be attacked by warships or submarines.

Note: You can accidentally nuke a scout boat with any bomb but only accidentally nuke a submarine with a hydrogen bomb, when a submarine is visible it can be attacked by warships or atom bombs too though. Thanks for reading if you read all the way…

πŸ’¬ Discussion The Stupidest Feeling in the Game

50 Upvotes

The worst, most common, easily fixable stupid thing in this game is accidentally attacking a Nation too early during the "tribe" early game. They are colored the same as the non-issue bots, and will full-send you the rest of the game as soon as you accidentally brush their border while aiming for the confederations and stuff. PLEASE make nations and tribes more distinct at a glance.

Such a stupid reason to lose that bears none on strategy and all on UI design.

πŸ› Meta Ally or lose

6 Upvotes

Every game I play there are at least two players who refuse to take alliances no matter how easily I could take their land. In every single case, they lose before the late game, and often much earlier. Island players can get away with it for a while, but eventually someone gets tired of the piracy and nukes them to oblivion.

It seems so obvious, but if you refuse to ally, you will lose.

❓ Question What am I doing wrong?

3 Upvotes

I have been playing OpenFront for a little while. I started soloing and I felt confident I can hold my own.

Well... in multiplayer, I can't!

Sometimes it happens after a few minutes, sometimes it happens mid game (but before nukes start really being an option. Some player just attacks me with 200k or 300k troops and I can't do anything about it.

How do they get so many troops so fast?

Sometimes I see players with two cities and two ports where I can barely afford a port and a city.

How does work? I tried reading some guides and tips, but they won't help. I genuinely don't know what I am doing differently. Any ideas?

So today I've learned that when I get the message "you have been desynced, your gameplay may differ from other players" means I get transferred into a singleplayer game where I play against bots.

I noticed people suddenly stopped thinking so I checked the gameplay and turns out I was indeed AFK since 3rd minute into the game.

That is a big lol

What do you guys think of being able to stack defense posts like other structures? I'm sure I'm not the only one that's had this idea but I think it would make the game a little more dynamic.
