Achron: Difference between revisions

* [[Time Master|Time Masters]]: The titular achrons.

* [[Time Travel Tense Trouble]]: The fans refer to the two orthogonal timelines as "time" (in-game time) and "metatime" (real-life time). Once you hang around the community long enough, it becomes second nature.

 

== RTS Tropes ==

* [[Shoot the Medic First]]: The CESO Blackbird can repair units at speeds so fast it can greatly affect the outcome of a battle. This leads to it attracting a lot of focused fire.

** The auto-attack algorithms have now been tweaked so that units prioritize targeting medics like the Blackbird or MFB first! Heck, the trope is even referenced by link within the manual on the Achron Wiki.

* [[Tech Tree]]: Each faction has a very small, very flat tech tree (usually amounting to around six upgrades or so) and they are explained away as "improving infrastructure" (as opposed to "research"). The interesting bit is the way this interacts with the time travel mechanics: It's possible to arm your units with weaponry from the future, or reinforce your army with units you can't technically build yet.

* [[Teleporters and Transporters]]: It is fantastically easy to teleport in this game. The demo tutorials teach you cross-map teleportation before they tell you about ''control groups''. One race can even upgrade units to teleport without a gate, but it isn't as long range. The same race even has a superweapon, a missile, that can ''teleport into the enemy's base''.

**** A version of the list also exists on the forums [http://www.achrongame.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=1201#p10185 here]

* [[Awesome but Practical]]: Time travel. Play the demo. It's very, very easy. In fact, most of the time you'll be playing a minute or so in the past, and won't even notice because you're using so little chronoenergy.

* [[Awesome McCoolname]]

* [[Big Name Fan]]: Shadowfury333, whose Youtube channel has become (starting from late 2010), the main channel for casts of games. Also a source of many maps.
