DK_Viceroy Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 You can thank me for upping the price of carbon why didn't you reaserched alterred bargains or whatever it's called. Nitro My strategies Revolve round The Horde Tactic. the creation of powerful cheap yet sophisticated attack force which never end and has immense numerical superiority which since never ends beats the enemy into submission by causing despair since quite literally the horde never ends. that is why i didn't attack nitro because those forces were not yet numerical and the fortressess, were a distraction and you know how distracted you got. Does anyone have the final replay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 My fleet of a wings had to be in 3 places at the same time. Hence the coming and going. Initially they were support vs Vostok. Then they had to help vs you. Then they had to cut off saber's mass of repeaters he would send. No sense in building 3 armies, just build 1 that happens to be the fastest. I don't know what you guys were so low in carbon, I still had about 20K at the end of the game. And thankfully I had 40 hovercraft going and over 120K food at the end also, so the mounties and a-wings were easy to produce. My recorded game only goes up to the first out of sync.

Admiral Vostok Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Unfortunately, although I definitely re-selected Record Game both times we restored, it seems to not have done so. I've only got the first bit. Great battle reports from everyone. It's good to hear all the different sides of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saberhagen Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 It was a typically insane ice-lake game: millions of nerfs and the carbon ran out after an hour or so! I found it difficult being pocket on that map. I wanted to attack pbguy but I couldn't get a foothold on that side of the map so I didn't really know what to do except support my wings, which I did, but we never made a breakthrough. I collected more carbon than anyone, but I put it all into carbon heavy units: MDs, repeaters, artillery, AA mobiles. When Vostok sent loads of air to help Nitro, I already had a lot of units on the way to that corner of the map, but when I saw pbguy going for Vostoks base, I had to rush them back across the map - he really caught us on the wrong foot. At one point I managed a Geo raid on the land between pbguy and phreak but the awings were there very quick and I don't think it did a huge amount of damage to their workers. Incidentally I had no idea I was disrupting the trade routes between Viceroy and Phreak. It was probably just a side effect of massing units in the middle of the map to counter pbguy.

DK_Viceroy Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I'm suprised you didn't help nitro more if you had and made a breakthrough at mine you would have had PBGuy vulnerable. nitro what jabba? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saberhagen Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 When I decided to give loads of help to Nitro, pbguy attacked Vostok so I had to shift my attention to the other side of the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majin Boba Fett Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Hutt Endorsements. I idnt research altered bargains because I never had to do the much resource trading. Therefore, I never use it nor did I really know what it was till now. I'll research it from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I wish the game had have recorded properly! It truly was a good game. I've been practicing a bit with Gungans in preparation for next week, as I vowed to give up my air-whoring for a while... I need a bit more practice still... I'm thinking I might switch to Republic, where I can still whore air, but I at least have some other options open unlike Naboo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbguy1211 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Actually saber, I think you helped with that little geo raid. I was at pop limit most of the game and those workers just finished mining some sort of resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Saber and pbguy vs the rest, eh? Sounds fun... Of course the fact that saber and pbguy have never been on the same team before will make the game a nice change at least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Well, if it ends up 2v5... then we might have to claim phreak for our team. Hopefully I won't be too hungover. I forgot one of my friends is having a party the night before. So I could end up being in a very bad way for Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I think 2v5 would be better than 3v4... though maybe not if you hate getting triple-teamed so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK_Viceroy Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Personally Vostok I'd pick the Republic Over the gungans because they can support relatively good ground focres with good air they're the jack of all trades much like the empire after them. The Gungans are like the confedreacy they own the land and are vulnerable from the air so that'll put you in good stead since you know all about air whoring and so will know how it can be defeated. Beleive me however when I saw you'll need to practise for a decade to make yourself look good by playing as the gungans. I look forward to this 2 v 5 My droids will engoy scoruing you from the battle field:bdroid2: saber's propabl a bad team choice due to OOS but still it'll be fun propably not as epic but fun.

Admiral Vostok Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Well as pbguy said I fared well as Trade Fed in a long-ago game. They aren't that different to Gungans. But I still feel too vulnerable without any decent air, so I think Republic will be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saberhagen Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I've only gone OOS one feckin week! Out of all the weeks we've played! ANd we managed to restore. Who hasn't had connection probelms? Republic don't have great ground forces. They're mostly air and jedi like the Naboo. They can build repeaters very fast but they're fairly average and will get owned by Wooks, Confed or Rebel repeaters. Their mechs and heavy weapons aren't up to much at all. Gungans are more like the Empire, but htey have better mechs and heavies and worse air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Well maybe I'll shop around a bit with civs. I'll see how I go with Republic this week, then maybe try Gungans if I don't go so well. I'm in the mood for a Naboo change at any rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Vostok Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Well as Nitro can confirm, I absolutely suck with Republic. The problem is they're kind of like Naboo but not enough... their bombers are too slow, and I can't fight the temptation to get Jedi too early. So, I'll be playing Gungans next game. However I regret to announce I most likely won't be joining in the game this Sunday, as I'll be going away for the weekend. I hope to see battle reports all the same, and I will most likely be back next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saberhagen Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 otoh Republic is easily the best civ for DM. Nothing can stop a jedi master rush followed up with mounty/repeater flood and air support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
