pbguy1211 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 alas, just me vs vostok vs saberhagen... again. twice. well, in game 1 i got smoked royally. my side was acomedy of errors from the start. i got off to a slow start, though somehow still got to t2 before anyone else. and got into a few skirmishes with saber. one of my big issues was the lack of flat land in my area where i could build military buildings in groups. i also missed a ton of free food at the start so i wasted a bunch of carbon on farms early. so because of my slow start i didnt really attack early. did i mention i forgot to buy the first 2 farm upgrades? i got into a few scuffles with saber, killed a foward base or 2 he set up and kept farting around. i tried to then go for a fort of vostoks. bad idea. he came back firing with cannons and LOADS of mechs. his MD's kinda owned all. i converted a lot, but it wasnt enough. we were fighting for awhile, he was winning. then saber came back on the other end and i just gave up. the sandwich was too much. i could have tried to hold on, but i figured i didnt have much of a chance so i quit. eventually saber overcame vostok by simply making a lot more military units than he did. vostoks were stronger, but saber had the numbers. vostok eventually ate a lot of wookiee repeaters and some mechs and bombers. in game 2, i was on a mission. i got to t2 and sent about 6-8 troopers for vostok early. they got a handful of carbon workers, but wrecked his nova guys. i then sent them away to the west... in search of saber, and my revenge. i then sent a second batallion of troops towards saber. they got into a skirmish with his troops and lost by a few guys. the first batallion was close by, but too small in #'s so they waited for help to arrive. i finally had more troops arrive to help the #'s out. then i sent a bunch of mounties as well. this was near the north of saber's base, whereas the first scuffle was in the south. as the 3rd party was ready to attack, i sent the troops in the carbon worker area and the mounties in the same area but for the turret. the turret came down, and then down went a bunch of workers. when his troops came up from the south, i sent my troops at his and also sent my mounties at them to take the brunt of the fire so my troops would still be alive. i won that little battle, and then went for the power core. the power core eventually came down as saber still was pumping out troops, and then the additional mass of mounties came. down came the CC and the workers followed. at about 40 mins of gametime in fastspeed, saberhagen was defeated. what followed was something to the effect of: "Vostok: what the? oh crap!" some point in the fighting we all got to t3. so i fully upgraded all my troops and sent some normal troops at vostok his mechs got them. i then sent a bunch of mounties, AA and regular hvy troops near vostok. i knew he had MD's, so i massed mounties. the flood was on. down went the mechs, the down came the power cores. then down came the forts and CCs. vostok had died, even after hiding, and i had somewhat vindicated the whooping i had received the game before. and it took less than half the time of the first game! next sunday i'll be in vegas, so have fun all!

pbguy1211 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 why not? our 1v1v1's are a little stale. it usually ends up as me vs saber, and then whoever Vostok attacks first gets steamrolled since we ignore him. Then the other person fights with Vostok til the end. That winner is then dependent on how many holocrons Vostok has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FroZticles Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I've heard this same holocron stuff for the last 3 weeks and still he can pull it on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saberhagen Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 This time pbguy grabbed 4 holocrons in the first game and vostok only got one. When pbguy resigned, I demolished his base, pushed vostok back and stole the holos, which generated enough nova for FU wookie art and fighters. I had to build a lot of MDs to deal with vostok's droidekas, but it was the art/repeater combo that did the real damage. I think Wooks are the best civ in a 1v1v1 because they've got everything you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Well, in a 1v1v1 game, you don't get to trade. But in the same breath, saber and i know we're going to try and attack each other early... so we can't really be bothered with the nova gathering too early or we're dead. so while we concentrate on fighting each other, it gives vostok the ability to usually grab the majority of the holocrons. and since we cant trade, more free nova for him. it's a HUGE advantage later in the game in a 1v1v1.

Admiral Vostok Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Yeah, in the first game I only had one holocron but still managed to steamroll pbguy, who had the other four. I would have had more, but it seems my scouting was rather unfortunate in that I must have just missed them all, since pbguy said he collected them fairly late in the game. So I change my stance on whether holocrons can make or break you... but they are still nice to have. DK_Viceroy, welcome back, you are most welcome to join, particularly since pbguy will be in Vegas next week. It would be nice if Nitro and Phreak would turn up too, since they keep promising to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Vostok Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I'll be in for both Saturday and Sunday, pbguy. DMUK, glad to have you back. Perhaps we could try taking on the awesome might of the pbguy-saberhagen alliance once more with you on our side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK_Viceroy Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Or perhaps recreate that Ice Lak Epic and see if you could withstand the combined might of the alliance we had then or perhaps we could rotate saber with phreak either way it'd be fun but it's have to be ice lake i seem to have several good games on that map and one of them was with maul.
