Any 1.0 folks here?

Of course. Fun times. I was an idiot.

Good old days, i remeber spamming barracks everywhere and pumping out Militia as my entire force

Medium tank spam, ships, ships especially were so cool for some reason.

Spamming AC, one-use paratroopers, having to deactivate your barracks, Destroyers in Clash, "hEaVy tAnKs ArE gOoD" noobs, infra gave econ boost, SP arty was king, nuclear submarines, rural capitals, and so much more!

Nuclear ships were cool, never used them though. Sad

Destroyers having range. RRG’s were still fun to play with.

In my Maine game, I'm finding that SPRA is actually a good unit, especially when fighting tons of inactives.

My stacks of 3 L4 AC, 3 L4 LT, and 4 L3 Mot. Inf are pretty good because the AI usually doesn't build heavy armor.

Ranged is especially good against AI

Right now the whole rest of the map consists of either inactive players or dumb-noobs.

Yes. I joined less than a month before the transtition to 1.0. I only played one round and never really worked out how to optimise. So a noob.

The update traumatised me and made me very hostile to updates forever.

Main things I remember:

- Units automatically merging when taking damage so they remained above 50% health.

- Fielded units automatically upgrading when research of the next level finished.

- Building light tanks, light tanks, and light tanks.

- Motorized infantry as a defensive units!

- The beautiful, stylish "Canvas" GUI which was only deprecated because clouds couldn't blow across the battlefield in it. I still remember it warmly when comparing it to the ugly layout we now have when we want to clearly see terrain.

I still build lots of light tanks. LOL

I remember those days. My tactics still haven’t changed

Commandos were OP, also LTs were easily spammable. Strats like investing in extra IC for 6 productions instead of 5, having to disable naval bases and barracks if they consume too much, tac bombers reigning the sky, etc. Glad 1.5 came around tho
