OpenRA Guide: Chapter III: Player Personality and different ways of playing.

This article is dedicated to the different types of players that can be found in OpenRA.

There are many OpenRA players from all over the globe. 

The interesting thing is, they all have different ways of playing, different build orders and different personalities.

It also offers advanced features for creating maps and missions.

This website makes distribution of OpenRA maps more comfortable.

This chapter will enlighten you on offensive measures and how to devise perfect attacking plans.

Most of it is common sense, but a lot of it requires fast thinking. You will come to understand all offensive strategies.


Types of OpenRA Players.

Offensive Players.

Players that play dangerously offensive use an aggressive build order solely for attacking and destroying other players early in-game with deadly rushes. 

Their disadvantage is the middle- and late-game where defensive players have more ore trucks up and running if they defended successfully.

Defensive Players.

Some players like to play defensively, building up their base and defenses and conquering the map forcing the other player to run out of resources and then finally, using Super Weapons (Chronosphere/Nuke) To destroy the player later into the game.

Supporting Players.

Some players keep an eye on their friends and tend to support other team-players by helping them expand, Attack, Defend and just helping them out. This is often the key to success. Having one those characters in your team game is often more helpful than lone wolves.

Power Players.

These types of players usually go for Fast and Dangerous build orders like getting out tanks and aircraft fast. These players usually need teammates to help them in case of an early attack since they do not build any defenses early game. Nuke'm Bro. and Buddha are good examples.

Players will always have a distinct personality when It comes to playing. So keep that in mind. If an enemy player likes to use tanks, Build rocket troops to counter-attack. If the enemy likes planes, get AA or Sam Sites. ETC.
