Lots of small things for example, squads would only hold 10 of any chassis like 10 tanks or 10 inf, when these units died you would have to remove them from there squads it was a lot more buggy back then but a lot of people believe it involved much more deep strategical thought.

I am a OC Newb and a NC vet :P

I believe that yes there a ton of NC players that are great but I think the players that came from the OC had much more dedication (some of them) I do not believe however that by saying "I am from the OC" Should give you any special treatment unless you deserve it :P

Food. When you conquered someone they would give you metal, oil, and most importantly, food. Your units every tick would require a certain amount of food, if you didnt have that amount of food, your army would starve to death slowly.

There was another type of outpost called a barracks, which was a training base that you couldnt train units on. Units parked on a barracks did not use food.

This added a whole new dynamic to the game as it made conquering colonies and maintaining conquers absolutely critical for you to succeed at all. Additionally, during wars, it made finding and making barracks critical, which gave you another thing entirely to consider during war.

Food required you to put a lot more effort in during peace time and added a new dynamic during war time. I assume it was removed to make the game more noob friendly.

Or perhaps to just release a restriction? How many times had food prevented world wars? Nowadays we have wars ahoy, and ofc in the OC you'd have wars if the alliances absolutely needed it, but it's not like wars got fundamentally easier: they only got a tad simple... or maybe not. I mean, I havent played OC, but it seems like if you took your enemy's barrack, you pretty much bumped that army out of the war - or force it to take the first target it sees in an attempt to kill as much as it can before it's slow crawl to death. Was it like that?

Not at all. Wars in the OC lasted for thousands of ticks, and as for the food, people just always boost their armies back to full strength. Barracks were always the first targets to hit when a war started tho

removing dead units in the squad sounds like troublesome for me..

thanks jake and arf.. for those info, at least now i can see the difference, i can say that OC is more complicated than what we're having now.
