New Unit Compare

So I have been working a lot on the website in the last weeks. Most work was done on the upcoming new Maps 2.0, together with Marek we’ve been building a new/better and fully automatic system to push (all) maps to the main website. I won’t give a sneak-preview, though you can find links on the website-dev channels in Discord…

But the newly added tech allowed for more performance & more features.

And with that, the Unit compare pages were really heavy and slow, and had no filters or search. So that is exactly what the new (now live) Unit Compare pages have. Check out the improved pages, search for any name, filter live, or share filters with others.

It’s all new tech and I’ve tried to make everything work responsive + on all major browsers. I haven’t found big problems and all seems to work, but if you spot any problem, please post them on our Discord, preferably in a #Website channel.

PS. Besides the above, we’ve also done more/better compression on a lot of images. Mainly all 512 unit images, which have been halved in size and reduced size of over 30MB of images. And some partly finished work on improving unit-pages load-times, but that will be finished later.

Hobo Joe wanted to work on 3D maps - see how far that goes - maybe we can use this for Units as well…

UPDATE 29-11-2023

I’ve added a couple of extra’s in data and visuals.

• In the search-field you can now also search in the unit tooltip + unit specials + unit weapons. This will make it easier to find all missile-units or cloak, or jammers.
• Added specials and weapons in the drop-down view
• Added Build Time in mm:ss for 100 buildpower - this is a nice addition to see some important differences between units, and that build-time is not directly related to build-cost. Also added to the unit-detail pages
