The multiplayer game (the thing available now) will remain free including all the updates and improvements to it. What will be behind a one-off-payment will be the campaign. We've …

The current version isn't on steam due to a variety of (mostly infrastructure related) issues, the free version _will_ be on steam in the future though you will still be able to ge…

We have support for a variety of ways to limit who can join you (passwording lobbies, locking lobbies etc). I get a lot of value playing with a regular group of friends on a Sunday…

It's completely free to play (though they/we have recently signed a publishing deal and there will be a paid for campaign mode later) with a combination of GPL and MIT source code.…

I'm one of the contributors and from everything I've seen it's not a sell-out situation. The game is GPL so will be remaining open source, the paid-portion of the game will be deve…

We've had 3 people request temporary suspensions to allow them to focus on their studies this week. We see that as one heck of a compliment ;)

I think that's intentional and is from a lot of PvP balance over the last 10 years of development (mostly from the games preceding BAR)

AI yes, very much so. In fact if you can get over the rather steep (for now) first step of getting them working I think we'd welcome AI submissions. Units we want to and there's cu…

I've passed this on to our web-dev chap on our discord. Thanks for providing the feedback; I suspect mobile wasn't fully tested!

My biggest issue with the language. I make use of typespecs where possible but it's a far cry from anything enforced.

Commandline tools yes (though that's not it's strong point). Desktop GUIs could be done though I've not looked into it, if I were then I'd look at making a desktop Electron app and…

As a sample size of 1 I can say I didn't have an issue finding an Elixir job and those I did speak to were keen to get an Elixir dev asap. For context I have a few years in Elixir …

If you decide to try it again and get a similar slowdown, please report it on the discord and we'll look into it.

How many units did you have at that stage? We're finding games with 8 or more players a side can slow down after an hour; though this is because of the number of units present (oft…

You are able to play with multiple players controlling one team (Archon mode in SC2 I think). I've used it once or twice for coaching and it works pretty well. In a team game you c…
