Didn't say it isn't, in fact I'm admin in the C&C:Online Discord server. However, this same website has the sadly ignored Community News subforum where people can promote their work already, and the forums themselves receive little activity nowadays. Also, I fear that if we move to Discord, what little remains of our chit-chat will vanish and move to a less future-proof service because some people will find Discord more "cunviniunt". Communities that are more active than ours surely benefit from Discord servers, but I can't anticipate the same for us.

Turns out Adam Isgreen, former Westwood Studios employee, is the creative director at Microsoft Studios!

It takes several seconds (about 10) to load that page, and I have AdBlock installed. Their forceful login makes me uneasy.

Bit slow for me as well.

I would strongly advise against merging Discords with CnCNet and C&C:Online. Considering their sizes, they require them separate from others. Also, from first-hand experience, you do not want some of the cretins who reside in the C&C:Online Discord.

I know I told you this in private, but I'd like to make it public because of this thread's nature. I can't really see us going further than the scope of C&C with a potential expansion to Westwood's Dune games and Battle for Middle-earth series, which are connected to C&C by developers and technology. Not sure if even that would be stretching our efforts. The title and tradition of the site say "CNC" in the first three letters. I admit that RTS is underrepresented nowadays, but general coverage of the genre is more of a job for Wayward Strategist. Ordering by release date in reverse works fine and is easy to navigate, IMHO.

From this year's E3: http://www.forgottenempires.net/age-of-empires-definitive-edition The short story: Age of Empires 1 with the Rise of Rome expansion Overly fancy, completely new graphics with a Classic mode that switches the "1997 experience" Rebalanced gameplay (wonder if they checked the UPatch balancing list) Revamped UI Windows 10 exclusive with Xbox Live multiplayer (FFS, where's their less-than-perfect Steamworks support for AoE2HD and AoMEE when you need it?)

Thread locked, the crisis has been averted. Please read the full announcement by our returning administrator, Zee Hypnotist: http://forums.cncnz.com/topic/20690-cncnz-will-prevail/

If the site remains in any shape, @Nmenth and myself are ready to take over the administration part.

Deftones - Minerva [2003] It's as good a place as any for this. For CNCNZ.com's final days, I bring you a melancholic song that introduced me to Deftones, I think it sets the mood right. POST-ZEE EDIT: Eh, it'll stay, to show the prevalent mood during 11 June 2017, and because I missed a Friday. And it's a good song.

Oh man, that mod was my first encounter with the community as well! 1.8 was released, don't know if CannisRabidus wanted to add anything else.

This is abrupt. I'm not liking this, and I need time to even process the title. Will get back to you shortly.

Payday 2 is having 5 million copies given out for free: http://store.steampowered.com/app/218620/PAYDAY_2/

Beg pardon?

Updated the list with NGWOL, DarkReign.ws and BattleZone1.com.

Outland is free on Steam for 2 days: http://store.steampowered.com/app/305050/Outland/

This would genuinely be a good game. Go make it

What way of terrain manipulation are you thinking of? Perhaps the one from Transport/RollerCoaster Tycoon where you can use a shovel tool over a designated area to raise/lower land as you see fit, but at a price for each tile?

Ooh, inspiration from Stronghold?

It's one of the epilogue missions, it's natural that it's harder than the rest

GDI's Croatian mission is, from what I've gathered, generally considered to be harder after the patches. I don't recall having particular balancing issues with Kane's Wrath 1.02, just missions that are difficult by design, I believe.

I assume GDI's mission in Croatia is the only one that's truly affected, and the only problem I think anyone would have is rescuing the MCV from the Nod ambush in the actually-not-the-city-of-Zagreb, although TaxOwlbear managed to finish the mission without going for the MCV, as the game only triggers the ending if all Nod bases are destroyed. But yeah, people had 10 years to adapt their strategies, since patch 1.09 was released in October 2007

TaxOwlbear's video from above shows just that. It's ridiculous.
