@Black_Elk really hit the nail on the head. Discord is basically a really well done chat room with voice & screen sharing. Good for getting a 'pulse', but not for reference.

It's often used instead of 'team speak', even for games that have in-game voice capability. This could be quite big for players. What's more, discord has some good modern automation stuff available (notably like sending messages to Discord).

So, discord is great for "anyone want to start a game tonight?", or "I have this problem.." - and if nobody answers, then it goes to a forum post. Discord is not great for having many different topics at once, so it is a bit glove and hand with forums and not really quite an alternative. I could see map makers using Discord to a lot of discussion in addition to having a forum posting to formally introduce the map.

@ubernaut said in Discord!:

@lafayette joined we should try to organize dev chats there maybe at some point?

FWIW: There is already a #developer channel setup!

I'm not sure if we'll need formalized chat meetups. Maybe for the larger community. It makes sense. But let's see how things go first? Discord certainly would be the platform for hosting such a thing.

Hey there, GetEmBees here,

Been playing A&A in various forms since 1998. Used to the Big Board for official A&A, switched to TripleA about 2016. I play the AI alot and want to try some games against people.

I tried the link via Discord App but get this error.

Let me know if this server is active. My discord is GetEmBees
