      I like it - Would it be possible to make the first background behind the text like a short gif/video?

      Seeing big things exploding, ASF swarm battles and many units moving into enemy PD's always look fantastic. If anyone sees that, he really wants to play.

        Well obviously I'm not Javi but from what I remember the problem is keeping everything small and light so that it won't eat up a lot of bandwidth. And while we tried to make it happen unfortunately getting good looking gif/video while being light proved to be too much. Though I wonder if AC1 could make it work now as last time it wasn't available for any of us.

            BAR doesn't try to pack in an almost full-screen video. They are much smaller, so they can afford to load it.
            Animating such a big part of the website would probably be visually overwhelming anyway

                              I must say i hate the "description" of the factions. I get that you wanted to be kinda funny there but imagine reading that as a new player. Sounds like some sort of meme game

                                I can say this from user's side as well, I despise websites that force videos and especially gifs (which should have been banned from existence ever since million+ times more space efficient video formats started existing imo) into them, even large pictures sometimes, because they cause website to take long to load and completely incapacitate you from using internet for anything else during it, not only because of server's bandwidth, but mine too, not everyone has cheap terabit internet speeds to waste on fancy trivialities that add nothing

                                  Oh, I see that people think it's problem with the website, that is regarding to what I wrote. No it's not. It's exactly as Mach wrote, just cuz we can drop there a 50mb video that will play in background doesn't mean we should. The website should be fast, responsible and good looking.

                                  Unfortunately we didn't manage to get a good looking video that would also be small enough not to chog up the bandwidth of the end user, especially ones with slower connection. Then there is also scalability issues etc.

                                  Though if you are willing to pursue it feel free to do so, I'm by no means expert so most likely there is someone who can whip us a good video, that's small in size while still good looking. In that case I think Javi wouldn't be against having one on the website considering he(or maybe someone else) was looking into it.

                                    We are aware of that, and are fully open to changing them when someone comes up with something good. Cuz not gonna lie, some of them were but a placeholders. cough cough sera one.

                                      @xiaomao How about something like this:

                                      • UEF - Unite the galaxy using overwhelming force and powerful defences
                                      • Cybran - Liberate the galaxy with ambushes and trickery
                                      • Aeon - Cleanse the galaxy with highly specialised units each excelling at a particular role
                                      • Seraphim - Annihilate the galaxy with smaller numbers of advanced technological units

                                            @magge as others have said, its hard finding a video that's sweet and short for this. I'm not opposed to having a video but I would need someone to create something of good quality and export it into something very tight (8mb tops). Making it a very difficult mission
