Submission + - Open Alpha BAR: spiritual Total Annihilation/SupCom successor (beyondallreason.info)

Avarist writes: Beyond All Reason entered free open Alpha as a spiritual successor to Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander.

It has a full physics system with the Spring engine that calculates projectiles, gravity and explosions.
Featuring also a limitless exponential economy and a very high unit count with a smooth performance.

Supporting up to 32 players and has innovative user controls, such as drawing free formations, drawing on the map to communicate and much more.
It breaths fresh air into a genre many would call "dead" and proves innovation can bring the RTS genre to new heights.

AND the EU economy is larger than ours AND the US pays an extraordinary amount for the defense of Europe. (Except for UK, they carry their weight).

So the EU is bad because they're not warmongers who destabilize and bomb everywhere they so please? The only defense Europe needs, is against the USA.

they will be treated punitively in direct proportion to the size of their wallet.

Are you trying to say they should be fined 50€ instead?.

Do you know what the purpose of a fine is? It is to dissuade such behaviour. If the fine is not directly proportional to the size of their wallet, they either get crushed if it's too high, or don't care at all and continue if it's too small.

The French socialist party that has existed for as long as modern france and has been in power about 50% of that time very suddenly droppped to 6% votes. In the Benelux the socialists are 4th/5th in the same ballpark as Green. And the German socialists are being defeated left and right in Germany in state elections and look to be defeated yet again in federal elections. Also UK Labour is a joke.

No, the worst part about this is that there are professional tournaments with prizes ranging in the thousands and millions for a computer game.

Someone is stuck in the 20th century. Move along with the times. A hundred years ago people were saying the exact same thing about people playing just a 'game' aka football. There isn't much difference betweeen regular sports, chess, and computer games.
