No lava??

Ok, this one was a long time coming from my end.

This is a round of Beyond All Reason that went insane somwhere around the 20-minute (in the round not the video) mark. And once we got nukes, it just went mental.

Ok in this video I sacrificed hoards of my men to the enemy AI and i was yetting the most nukes at them(i think)

Bushman had AA problems

Nimzmnie was producing and sharing metal with everyone until he stopped and he colonized Bushman

THE EYE, Banana, Gabriel and Bobina were holding the line.

And the AI had a vendetta against Henry for some Reason.

During the production of this video i almost had a mental breakdown (2.) and to help with my headache i drank some alcohol. This video was a pain in the ass to make and i hope you all enjoy what i made.

To anyone who saw the previous post sorry about that I found some problems in the text(also wanted to change some things) but I accedentaly deleted it.

Never was tge sharpest toll in the shead

In a recent patch the no rush barrier was changed, previously it allowed weapons fire through it such as the long range plasma cannon. Is there a way to reenable this behaviour.

What do the colors mean next to some players on the stats page https://server4.beyondallreason.info/battle/NUMBER/players

Same story as the title. Can someone message me here please?

hello everyone

im a bit noob in bar

i really wanted to know like if some team tried it before 8v8

team 1 is full rush just spamming units

team 2 has the role tech frontline and the eco

like which one wins

Ok this will be an unpopular opinion, and people probably can't wait to tell me that noone here cares about OS. And the same would apply to me if OS didn't determine wich spots I'm able to pick. But sadly it does, so unless I'm willing to literally throw game after game by playing spots I have no knowledge about, I'm stuck with careing about my OS. Also it's just not fun playing something when you know you'll disappoint your team.

This wouldn't be a problem if there was a realistic way to play this game unranked, but there simply isn't. And no playing against AI or some funky lava T4 shenanigans won't teach me how to play new positions on supreme. For some reason noone (especially chev1-3) is willing to play a normal unranked lobby. Even on the weekends it takes like 1h to fill one just for it to die after literally the first game. I've tried and failed countless times.

So I find myself in this loop where I want to play, but being an eco/ geo main half my games are super frustrating as when I come online I'm already down 3 lanes (wich btw is 7min on geo and 15 on eco, it's not like I play SimCity). But there's no way of learning new spots because I can never find an unranked lobby.

So my only options now are to throw games and get sold by my mates until I've lost enough OS or keep playing only these 2 spots and get frustrated whenever we have poops on front or seas. And if I choose the first option I won't be able to play my actual main spots until I'm back up to like 22 OS

This game either needs an actual matchmaker or some incentive to play unranked, because the way it is like now I can't recommend anyone to start playing who's looking for a fun PvP experience.

And trust me I tried. "All Welcome" lobbies are hell because you have a chev1 VS. 30 OS chev6 on front and are one player down after 2min. "Mid" lobbies are filled with players that either perform 10 OS below or above their actual OS and are toxic as hell (still the best option tho). And in 30+ lobbies i would have to play sea or front every time unless I dodge half the matches (wich I hate doing) and they are even more toxic.

I'm open to suggestions but I think It's best for me to take a break. I really love this game and imo it's the best modern RTS out there, but with being forced to play ranked it's just not enjoyable for me.

Edit: I can't even make a new account, because I'll get banned. But somehow half the chev3's I see have like 25 OS. They are probably just fast learners right? :) Like what even is the point in trying to prevent smurfing when you don't have a matchmaker, your game has different ranks for each mode and the game/ Community wants you to not care about a rank anyway?

Edit2: I do realize how this is more a complaint about the community and not actually the game. As I said I think giving an incentive to play other modes than ranked (where OS gain is the incentive) might be a easy fix, but people could also just start playing unranked lobbies on their own terms.

Thanks for reading

I am hearing a lot about barbariandifficulty enemy ai, but in game there are only difficulties named "easy", "normal", "hard" etc, is it just a name of bot ai i BAR or is it sokething else

Is there a way to configure the interface to show charges?
If you have multiple buildings, it really sucks to always have to check them for charges...
There should be some kind of indicator on the UI to make tracking the charges easier.
(without widget)

It's the same game, only you win by having units shoot the ball, which is indestructible, into the goal. The ball crushes any unit or building it rolls over and it floats. Air units can attack/move it, too.

Hi folks - I have been working on an (unofficial) native port of the Recoil engine (which BAR uses) to macOS. This means you can now play Beyond All Reason natively on macOS. Online play is temporarily disabled out of courtesy to the official developers, as I'd prefer they greenlight this. Local play and network play is enabled. I could really use some help in testing this if you have a Mac with Apple Silicon. All the details and downloads here, please file bugs here and not on the official site. Enjoy, and fingers crossed the official BAR devs will be open to me enabling online play once they've vetted it. https://github.com/benbreen/RecoilEngine-AppleSilicon

Recently saw a video mention something called "trotski's hill". I think it's a spot on the supreme isthmus map?

Is there a good place that compiles all the relevant jargon for this game? or a list of meta strategies?

A nice cheese with some teamwork to do it! But it seems to me this one you can do on your own!

Be careful with your keybinds while servers are dying!

I have been farting around with AIs and the cortex barb wont do anything after building 3 mex’s and 2 solars, I tried restarting the match, and even forcing different spawn locations, the only way to get it to touch grass is to use godmode and force it to build a lab.

Mobile plasma shield.
There are mobile radars, mobile jammers, and mobile antinukes... why not a mobile shield?

Juno does not kill medium and heavy mines.
Mines are totally useless now. We must make them more useful somehow.

Tick bomber.
A bomber that drops ticks.

Teleport gate.
To make armies more mobile. Units can teleport between two teleport gates.

Do you have any other ideas? Pl share with us!

Commanders, Beyond All Reason has been upgraded to a new version of the Recoil Engine!

This release brings substantial pathfinding and performance improvements, several rendering fixes, broader platform support, and fixes for multiple crashes.

Pathfinding and Performance

• Pathfinding requests are now processed in the background, reducing frame spikes caused by large pathing requests and improving overall simulation performance.
• Improved the performance of raw path checks.
• Units will now search harder for routes around cliffs and obstacles when a short-distance request requires a significant detour.
• Various additional pathfinding bug fixes.
• Cleaned up and improved floating-point mathematics code.

Stability and Loading

• Fixed several engine crashes.
• Fixed multiple situations that could cause the game to crash during loading.

Rendering and Interface

• Ghosted buildings no longer leave ground decals on the map.
• Fixed icon bleeding and inconsistencies in texture atlas calculations.
• Fixed the rendering of projectiles attached to unit pieces.
• Updated RmlUi to version 6.2, together with an updated version of rmlsollua, providing an ui framework for BAR UI upgrades.

Simulation Fixes

• Fixed incorrect height aiming for units in certain situations.

Platform Support

• Added support for UTF-8 file paths on Windows.
• Added ARM64 support.

Many thanks to everyone contributing to the continued development of the Recoil Engine and everyone who helped us test this build! :heart:

What is the current air meta like? same share trans or is it more involved with fighters and raids now?

Perhaps I'm just paranoid or it's my confirmation bias, but literally any time I see a spectator when playing supreme lobbies, it feels like the enemy are suddenly prepared for everything. 20min mara push? They have an army of 200 grunts and 2 coms waiting. 12min nuke? They build sub 10min AN. 15min double air bombing run? They spent almost 10k M on f*cking AA (yes this happened) Like wtf. But any time I watch the guys play the game before or one after they do none of it 🤔

Like I get it, a lot of it has to be luck but if even 20% of them are actual spec cheating cases this game is borderline unplayable in a ranked format. What's your experience? Also I've only had this on supreme

While Star Craft is still going very strong, and Supreme Commander has done well to nearly keep up, and Rusted Warfare briefly peaking in the top spot 2 years ago, it's Beyond All Reason that's had the most impressive growth over the past 5 years.

This is from Google Trends, so it basically shows hype; not number of players or anything else concrete. It's just interesting to see comparative popularity.

I'd really love something that automatically feeds my e to one specific player (from geo to eco on supreme to be exact) so I can never miss a second of boosting again. Probably doesn't exist but I just felt like asking if anybody knew. Like in cases of a leak (or comdrop) for example, it's just a bit hard to keep actively boosting at times (even with e storages)

I don't understand why i get a ban. I just tried to join a lobby and i get the message "you are currently banned from joining lobbies". I did absolutely nothing wrong. Not even bad words because i hardly chat. Just play some scenarios and spectate good players. What the hell? I also cannot join discord anymore so i assume i am IP banned or something? So i can't even make a new account? This is such a bummer i like the game so much. I don't deserve this.

Account name : Tommus

So it seems i got banned for c2 : Malicious speech · Hate speech, calls for a person to harm themselves, real-life threats, celebration of horrific events are all regarded as unacceptable.

Wich makes absolutely no sence. I never talk to anyone.

I has to be something with me only spectating games and not playing. And having no OS and people got suspicious? What the hell are these admins doing?
