Does the handicap feature.. Options

[Pixcell]

does the handicap feature add or take away handicap, because i cant seem to find out.

[ChielScape]

20% means 20% of normal health. AFAIK.

[Pixcell]

so the lower the amount the more it effects them?

[Wess]

no, the higher the more it effects them, do keep in mind this duse not only effect the units but EVERYTHING, buildings, units, and enemy fire, try a game with a handicap of 95% u'll get the point, the enemie is useless, they cant even get past infantry.

[The DvD]

So it's more like a Techlevel, right? I think setting it to 95% or 90% stops them from building superweapons.

[Pixcell]

if your right, then cool.

[Wess]

i have only tried it once myself, on easy AI and handicap of 95% lol, on that level its pretty much pointless, dont know the effect it has with a harder AI.

i took the weakest level because its the best way to see the effect it has, enemy units are made out of paper, the buildings are like card houses, and enemie fire is like shooting with a prop gun.

i'm not really into the game, i maybe play a game or two in a week if i even play it at all.
dont get this one for X-mass people wait for the delux version, there better games out imo. altho i dont play online so have no idea how that is but the horde over at EA sayes the game needs alot of work on that part.

[Pixcell]

well i was doing some research and 90% defiantly stops building sweapons.

[Wess]

medium guerrilla at 95% still builds the SW, but later in the game.
just found out the hard way auw.

[Pixcell]

ive been doing some more research and it appears it doesnt stop them building SWs just slows them down and also makes your units stronger to them. Say you set the computers handicap to 95% your units would be 95% more effective against them. For example my APC's could destroy an avatar in about 10 seconds.

[Wess]

indeed lol, not much of a challenge is it

[Slender Mang]

Holy moly a army of 10 million avtars! ok my 10 stealth tansk will take care of that. Is there even a reason to play a game that easy it would be like play pacman with a hack to go through walls

[Boss]

I think it is not much of a challenge is it.
