• Stellar's Christmas 2019 Challenge

  As Xeno suggested in another thread a couple of weeks ago, let's have another knockout competition!
  
  Older players may know we've done this before, but not for a few years now. There's a website called Challonge (which I assume is still going...) which is good for tracking knockout competitions. We'll choose a specific mission, and each game will be played twice, with each player/team playing each side once. The winner is the team that wins both games. If there's no clear winner, the mission is played again.
  
  Does anyone have any preference whether its 2v2, so everyone has to find a partner, or just 1 v 1? It also probably depends how many players sign up. We'll need a factor of 2 players, ie. 4, 8, 16, 32 etc... Any let me know if you have any preference for the mission.

  @Rost13, thanks for the offer. I can provide a zip of all the graphics to give you a starting point?

  the graphics level is low and if user get used to it later, at first it scares them off. And to attract new users, the graphics should be in the first place.

  I would like to help you with the graphics. At least draw some units and objects. I am not an artist or a designer, but among my childhood friends there are those with whom we played the laser squad, and other turn-based strategies. And here are some of them doing the graphics. They are already serious people and do not play games. But they have the resources to help, and I?m sure they will agree.

  Thanks. Better graphics would be good, but I'm no artist. I've been spending most time on SF porting the code to LibGDX, so I can use the same code for Android, PC and even iOS. Once this is done, my next big feature will be a better AI to play against, but this is a long way away yet.

  Congratulations! I would like to wish the development of an excellent project. I would like to see regular improvements that would make it more popular and attractive.

• Stellar Forces is 10 years old today!

  On this day 10 years ago, a player called Kiba was the first player to join Stellar Forces. No idea what he's doing now, but thanks to them and the other 17,000 players, Stellar Forces has been going for 10 years with over 48,000 games played. Lots of thanks to everyone who's played, and also thanks the Patrons Henry's Cat, Cpt Fishmonger, Rabid and Rost310 (and all previous patrons) for keeping it going!

• Still cant hit a barn door with weapons and soldiers from the future

  Some good ideas there. However, I'm against adding features which can only be counteracted by luck, like landmines, or items which can only be counteracted by the "luck" of happening to be carrying a gas mask/landmine detector.

  Bet it would give Steve a headache writing and working it all out!

  Could have a landmine detector as a counter measure.

  Hidden proximity mines would be cool I agree. Maybe only on certain specially selected missions.

  Land mines would be awesome

  Or being able to hid grenades or set proximity detonators on gas incendiary fragmentation etc

  Have thought before a flashbang grenade would be a nice addition, doing the same as panic, causing a unit to drop their weapon and lose half their APs for a turn.
