MadrixTF Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I don't seem to understand this Roaching principle: Scenario: If you destroy my base, but i happen to get away (with say 2 workers and a few miltary units) - the game can't be over - i could rebuild an entire Empire with just one worker unless you find me! That's what Spynet is for. So, how can that be roaching - or is it when there are NO workers left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 That's EXACTLY what the Spynet is for! To wipe out those last few guys! It's not to plan an attack on your enemy, but to finish them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still win a war with no workers, provided that both sides are severely weakened and you still have a decent military. But yeah, usually when you're out of workers and either don't have a command center (or don't have the resources to make new workers) then the war's over. Anything past it is just a stalling effort to an inevitable conclusion. Of course, some would say that it's over before that if you're well out-numbered, but guerilla tactics against overwhelming odds has proven successful so...

simwiz2 Posted September 13, 2002 Author Share Posted September 13, 2002 Roaching is generally no workers, no unit-creation buildings (CC, TC, MF, Airbase, Fortress) and only a few units. Basically if you have absolutely no way to EVER make more units and you hide some units then you are roaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Roaching is when you have obviously lost and some idiot keeps one or two units in hidden places so you will get tired of searching and give up, you usually hate these guys.........

CorranSec Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Roaching is what luke's dad said. If you're "hiding" away units so you can rebuild a base, that's not roaching. It's recovering, and hoping the other guy isn't smart enough to get spynet. If you still have an army that ran away when your base is destroyed, and are preparing for an attack, that's OK too. But just hiding a guy or two or doing something tricky like the Jedi Starfighter thing (which this thread is supposed to be about), that's roaching. Simwiz.... sith... people... calm down. I don't think the rest of us care or want to hear your accusations and denials of roaching etc. Though it might be good if I ever play against you. I don't really like this spy thing. Other people have already said why it's bad, and I'm too lazy too, so i'll just state my opposition. I have yet another idea to replace/complement Bothan Spynet, but I'll leave that for another day... it's only in conception right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
