Surfnshannon Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I mean did you start the game "high, low, medium" resouces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kudar Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I started on Standard resources 200 of each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Then you did very well - is everyone basing there tech times on the same "standard"?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kudar Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I watched that recorded game, and I noted that the computer difficulty was set at easy, which seems to be inline with the idea that if you have it on easy/easiest you are going to get more live animals than moderate/hard/hardest - there was a huge amount of bantha, plus a whole heap of other wild animals not to far from the base! I guess on a setting like that it won't too difficult to whizz through the tech levels - also did you notice that he build no offensive units until tech 3 save for a single turret in tech 1? Could have been a problem if he'd been playing a better player I would think, no matter, still quite good getting through to 3 in 16 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 exactly a better player would have wiped him out long before he had a chance... There was no attacking...was it some agreement between players that they farm out all the animals first before they start attacking eachother...if that was the game I'd take some troopers over there and murder some of those guys workers and animals...that would prevent them from teching further - I would tech faster then them regardless of whether or not it was 11 min or 16 min.

Guest Kudar Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I don't think there was an agreement, you'll see that his nearest opponent actually comes and builds 2 troop centers and a powercore near his base, which meant he must have concentrated more on carbon to build that, maybe he wasnt so lucky with the food, and I dont think he got out of tech 1 while trying a trooper rush, which a solitary strike mech disposed of.

Leia's Panties Posted January 10, 2002 Author Share Posted January 10, 2002 hmm i got a few helpful pointers from that demo... played agaisnt the comp on hard, and lucked out with a high food map..... t3'd in 15:51mins...cheers for the help.

BlakWraith Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Ok first off settings matte rnothing for recources hardest and easiest do otn matter only thing differant is comps and wild animals like lions n crap. The ebst time so far on default settings which is what evryone plays is 1440 done by a freind of mine. He immediatley rushed after this my time was 1510 in this same game and i ruhsed also i killed about 15 his workers he got about 3 of mine. I admit thier were alot of food it was savvanah it always ahas alot but all us experts can t3 at 18 min or lower no matter what recources . In a 3v3 no matter hwat recources u will see at least 2 17 min times and prolly one 16. Highr ecources doesnt matter at all all this is based off standard which most people plays.

BlakWraith Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I laugh at that remark most people in this forum must not understand this game. You say since i didnt have any troops before t3 i woudla died cause your an idiot. I would have built troops if i needed them this game all about scouting if is ee enemy goign for rush or mass troops early i would get defense i knew my t3 time be fast enough to beat a little trooper rush why waste recources on people? Learn the game before telling someone they shoulda lost man. I loose maybe 1 game outa 5 online so dont say crap unless u can abck it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kudar Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Who said you should have lost? It certainly wasn't me! The only remarks I made where that you may have been in trouble against someone else, you've already stated you were well aware of whats happening around you and saw no need for troops, thats fine then, just my observation, ok? There's no need to be so touchy about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leia's Panties Posted January 11, 2002 Author Share Posted January 11, 2002 in my experience little trooper rushes can hurt. Even when u turret up on carbon and ring the bell when they come in for your farms. Simply they'll stand jsut out of range and pick of a worker or 2 as they rush into turret range and rush back out Meanwhile their production is at 100% whislt your running in and out of your CC. If you dont make t3 with resources to spare and well ahead of them you can be in a pretty tight squeeze. Im not talking about a wave of troopers, im talking about groups of 8 that come every 45 seconds or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 First off the resources do matter. If you start off with HIGH resources you start off with a 1000 Food and 1000 Carbon and on standard you start off with 200 Food and 200 Carbon. Since the Tech Levels price remains the same...500 for Tech 2..your saying having it on High Resources doesn't matter??? Do the math someone who sets it high on resources already starts off with enough food to not even need to farm or hunt animals...just build 3 buildings and boom your there...(fake a screen shot) now if you start off with Standard...its a lot more work. So don't sit there and lie that it doesn't matter. I'll find you this weekend on the zone and we will see who wins. But with an attitude like yours...you won't last long Blak wraith.

SADO_DRAGON Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 blakwraith is the best player currently. he wasnt talking about high rescorces. he was talking about a lack of bantha and nerfs which doesnt have anything to do w/ difficulty setting it has to do w/ the map.he was also telling the truth 17-18 min tech3 can be done even w/o herd animals on standard settings not on high.dont talk crap to experts unless your gonna log on the zone and prove your opinion. anytime you feel like proving your point get a friend and log on the zone.me and him are ususally on at night.find us we'll be in the expert games. SADO the bringer of pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leia's Panties Posted January 12, 2002 Author Share Posted January 12, 2002 Just pulled a 14:40 T3 =] requires a touch of luck and it is a fair bit of guesswork on the balancing of workers to resources but that means 16 min t3's are now quite easy for on a high food map if im uninterupted. Blakwraith i played 2 of your guildmates lastnight. You'll have to explain to me how I can be beating them on points 3 mins into t3 and they have a military 5 times larger than mine next. Id struggled to push out 3 ties to raid winterhawk with when sparticus showed with 9 and 5 artillery at my main base =[. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfnshannon Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 da_sad_donkey??!? What i'm trying to say is that when comparing who gets to what tech level faster we should all set the same standards because its not fair to say I got 10 min when there were fifty million bantha out there - while the same person can only get it in 16 min using a map that is bantha-less. And of course duh i know bantha's matter. they virtually make all the difference of minutes. Now - just because you can get to tech 2 faster than me by 2 min does not mean I'm going to get my @** kicked automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chessack Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Originally posted by SharaFett hey how do you do that quote thing where you show a message previously said by someone and make a coment on it? At the bottom of each individual message are a series of buttons. One is "quote". Click that, and it brings you to the page where you make a post, inlcuiding the quoted material. Try it, you'll see how it works. It's fairly straightforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leia's Panties Posted January 14, 2002 Author Share Posted January 14, 2002 getting to tech 3 2 mins after your opponent generally does involve an ass kicking... 2mins of air craft and jedi running through your base usually involves some ass getting kickedf.

Surfnshannon Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 its all relative. It depends on if i spent those two min building up a good defense or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leia's Panties Posted January 17, 2002 Author Share Posted January 17, 2002 if i beat someone to tech 3 by 2 minutes id be spending that tiem running through their base with jedi and aircraft b4 they could get AA turrets and strike mechs up mechs up, meanwhile u build pummels while they are occupied with ur jedi and air (land and air defences are required so they have their hands full) and even if they ahve a mech d or 2 jsut drop the pummels on their power core to stop more comming out... course if they dont, they're in trouble. Basically whoever can pull this off the fastest will almsot always win, even if it is repulsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 In two min you can do all that...that would be impressive...but i thought in your original posting you said you were new at this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leia's Panties Posted January 19, 2002 Author Share Posted January 19, 2002 well this thread is a few weeks old and SWGB is a game that isnt too hard to be competent at, setting urself from the rest is a different matter. I seriously dont understand how there are so many rooks on the zone because playing an RM to a decent level of competence isnt that tough.... its these people who have scores of 2500 at 40 mins in that i dont understand what the hell they are doing. when i started this thread i had almsot never t3'd in under 20 mins, now i can do it in 16 on a high food map quite regularly. And no doing all that in 2 mins is a little much but that time advantage allows you to start your attack before they are able to get their defences up (e.g their first AA turret).
