RotD XWIS Time Was Cool!!! Discuss here!
For those who missed, RotD play time definitelly rocked! I've personally played three matches and a half and I kinda got surprised with my performance as a RotD general. I won all the three completed games, but don't think I had easy victories...
The first game, I played with Terror, Dooffy and SubXaero. It was a warm up against 4 AIs (I dont remember their level anymore, but probably 1 or 2). Doffy had problems in the beggining with an orange AI rush, but he got over it, although the surprisingly second AI base survived. I didnt expected AI to expand so early, but it did and very well. Its new base was between Dooffy's and Pink's base. However, it was a way closer to Dooffy which generated some conflict. SubXaero, Terror and I started booming, as AI wasnt being a real threat for us. The orange AI started to attack the pink AI, while purple and green AIs attacked each other. Nukes started to get too much concentrated on pink, but it was still defending them with easy. A visceroid blowed pink's construction yard and Pink didnt even bored to kill it, although another CY appeared in its base. I saw Terror's Apache Squad visiting all allied bases, yet I only saw action from it later. From my part, I started with a group of 5 medium tanks to kill orange harvesters. It killed 2 or 3, but AI stopped them after some time. Later, I sent a group of medium tanks to attack green, but green stopped them with no major losses, except for their war factory. I gathered a good group of mammoth tanks after that and ruined Green's base. Some minutes later, an alliance with Terror and Dooffy's forces destroyed Orange second base and Pink. I just helped them with one Ion Cannon in their last sam site, which easied things for Terror's Apaches. After pink got blowed, all of us attacked purple's base and purple got anihilated. The last victim was orange and it was a quite easy victory. I got the highest score because of the higher ammount of kills (afterall, I killed green alone ).
Second game was a 2 vs 2. East vs West game in Terrace. This one was quite interesting. I had Alkovroxjoosox as ally and my enemies were Terror and Reaperrr. I was kinda afraid of reaperr's silence in the beggining, but Terror's renegade's tactic kinda destroyed my expansion plans. He sent me an apc behind my base and placed 3 engineers at my construction yard. I was unable to build mammoths.... I just had medium tanks and humvees to build. That pissed me off and I tried to do the same for him, but his base had a much better defense and stopped my engineers with ease. While I sent my apc, I had a good group of medium tanks ready to be used and I brought them to Terror's base destroying the construction yard and the war factory, among other buildings, including breaking his hole defense. My ally helped me to finish him. In the meantime, someone sent me a commando that wiped my barracks and radar, which made things even harder to me. But my evil medium tanks were still waiting me to destroy Reaperrr. I decided to attack Reaperrr from some place he wouldnt expect attacks (north-western of his base), but he had protected the attacking area quite well. I started destroying some of his defenses, but he had a lot of stealth tanks, artilleries, light tanks and rocket infantry that made me change my plans... I decided to attack his barracks and when I destroyed that.... I noticed that his construction yard was very close to my remaining tanks. I sent them all at the CY, and I managed to destroy it, but my attack was destroyed after that. Alkov started sending some SSM launchers to destroy Reaperr's south defense, however, close to the defenses, the remaining key building... the war factory. I sent some troops to finally destroy that war factory and Reaperrr tried to send me some stuff as well, but my remaining medium tanks, with some tactical advices , did the defensive job quite well. My tanks wiped his south turret defense and his war factory... after that, his base was pwned and we won the match. However, I give my thumbs up to Terror... good renegade tactic .
Third game was between myself and Alkov again vs Nyerguds (purple) and someone else I don't remember anymore (red). It was in a FS map, one of those where all sides are ballanced and mirrored. My team was on east (myself on south and alkov on north). In the otherside, Nyerguds on south, close to me and the other guy on north... The game started with no real early tactics until I saw Nyerguds building a commando. He placed the commando in a APC and, with some medium tanks and some of his allied troops heading to alkov, who seemed to have a worse defense than mine. Considering that his main troops were away, and as far as I scouted I couldnt see many defensive units or buildings in his base and I had 4 mammoths at my disposal, I decided to attack him. My mammoths destroyed his defenses with ease, but his allied stealth units and even a light tank were annoying me. I decided to go straight to his CY and factory. I destroyed his CY, but couldnt destroy his factory because of the remaining resistence there, mainly from his ally. In order to kill that resistence, I quickly sent 5 mammoths, but when I arrived at Nyer's base, he already had a new construction yard. The original red units that were there were killed and I managed to destroy the CY and the war factory and some other buildings... but not including the barracks. Red stopped me again. And I sent more mammoths at Nyer to finish him... when his barracks were destroyed, we got a reconection error. And what did Alkov do? I havent observed him very well, but as far as I could see, he was nuking the red army... and his defense was still looking weak against an apc with a commando and the medium tanks, light tanks and stealth tanks that were there...
Fourth game was a game for a real general. We played on tech level 1. Mainly, an infantry war only, but not only infantry because of something called crate. From the crate goodies I've seen people getting, there were some ssm launchers (which were a key unit), a harvester, an apc, light tanks that reaperr used to kill some harvesters, etc... The game was Reaperr (light blue) and I (green, tiberium colour O.o, stealth ) versus Alkov (orange) and Nyerguds (purple that he loves ). In infantry wars, the one who moves the infantry when the other is close, is basically the one who loses the battle. So, you have to provoke your enemy to move to attack you, while you wipe the ass of his soldiers. I was in the north-westa dn Reaperr was in the south. Nyerguds was in the middle island that had 4 entrances, but only 2 usefull to me. And 2 usefull to reaperr.... the one between my base and reaperrr's was a bridge, very protected by tiberium... interesting to both, but not very interesting because of the tib. The one exclusive to me was also a bridge in the north with less tiberium. Reaperr had an exclusive one in the south that was mainland, easier to get in. Alkov was in the North-East, protected by 2 entrances in a hill. The first soldiers to move were from Nyerguds. He walked through the bridge from the middle entrance (the one full of tiberium). He was originally going at Reaperrr, so I decided to use it as advantage to get my troops in his base. He didnt fall in my trick again (first time was in the 3rd game ) and attacked my soldiers. His soldiers won the battle, but they had to retreat to the bridge. Alkov only acumulated defenses and that original attack was the only one Nyerguds did. So, who attacked were Reaperr and I. There were lots of unsuccessfull attempts where Alkov's huge army simply killed our people, if Nyerguds didnt had enough soldiers. Reaperr even got a early ssm that did some damage, but they got over it. I finally found out the north entrance and noticed that their defenses were weaker there. In one of my attacks, I managed to destroy a refinery. The first big move happened when I decided to wait for getting two huge groups of soldiers. The first group was waiting in the north entrance. Nyerguds noticed that and started building soldiers to defend from it. He probably didnt paid enough attention to an even bigger group I had in the south, that was also close to the bridge full of tiberium. I got a harvester in a crate and I decided to use it to open my way in the north. The harvester crushed some good ammount of Nyerguds's soldiers until it get killed, my north soldiers arrived and managed to finish the north forces from Nyerguds. Alkov reinforced the north and I couldnt do some good damage there, but while they were destracted with the north, my southern force easily opened a way through Nyergud's soldiers and attacked the construction yard. The enemies managed to destroy both forces, but Nyerguds CY was destroyed and his lost some barracks too. The battle continued with several attacks from my troops at the north bridge, but Reaperr helped with another SSM Launcher he had, which killed several enemie soldiers.... After inumerous battles, we managed to destroy his remaining refineries and barracks... Alkov's forces in the center got ruined also.... Alkov was pratically alone then... only few Nyerguds soldiers to support him. But his base looked like impenetrable at first.... The north entrance had a horde of soldiers and south was weaker, but still dangerous. I made two big groups of soldiers to attack each entrance. One big group attacked the north. The other one threathened the north, but attacked the south, while he was concentrated at the north. Both groups were stopped, but his defenses were weakened. The way was opened to Reaperr. His soldiers originally went to attack the south entrance, but I told him to retreat, and protect the ssm launcher that would kill the south soldiers from Alkov. During Reaperr's attack, I sent another group at the north and for the first time, I managed to enter in his base and I tried to destroy his construction yard... but failed. Reaperrr was still doing damage in the south, but he had to retreat his ssm when his soldiers were killed. The other groups managed to break his southern defense and Alkov resigned. Nyerguds soldiers were hunted until the last one was killed. A nice game, but the enemies didnt attacked us at all. So, they were defeated. QUICK_EDIT

He had only one SSM launcher AFAIK... but he managed to repair it. Also wih a crate prolly.
There were also some stealth soldiers in the game. Reaperrr got three, and I got one, but at one moment I stupidly forgot he had that SSM in his base and attacked his base with the stealth solier to annoy him...
Less than half a second later my stealth guy was burnt to a crisp
Still, I uncovered his entire base with it
And it was SO unfair that Reaperrr used his stealth soldiers to kill my last guy before I could turn him into a visceroid

Um, You left out the Harvestor Suidcides I think..Remember? they ran in and Jihadded with Blue tib..Essentially becoming big freakin Nukes. xD _________________ ... QUICK_EDIT
Game 3, I was planning to expand my base...Figured I'd mention that..Which is why I never did much attacking.. =/
Hey..Tomorrow we should all pile into the XWIS again, and unleash more cans of Whoop arse.. I might even upload a map to use. _________________ ... QUICK_EDIT
But my defences wasn't that weak, and yes, I got one nuke off, before the Reds got it hard. =/
Yea..first got their conyard..the other was gonna hit that Airstrip, but it never survived. =)
And it was..uh..Can't think of the name now. _________________ ... QUICK_EDIT
The first game, I played with Terror, Dooffy and SubXaero.
i do believe it was me and not SubXearo. I was rotdchris becuase i forget that it changeed to TD then name. _________________ Singer-Songwriter Christie Isaac QUICK_EDIT

ya iu think so too, cause i can't remember this one
me had some nice games too.
i try to remember some:
1st was a warmup at 7o clock with seaman and me allied against 2 AI's that really kept him busy, but together we could defend his base really well.
my base only got attacked sometimes, but my rocketlaunchers and adv towers sealed the deal
after 30minutes i had enuff, gathered my 30 M1's and wanted to go in...well...then the game crashed
but good timing cause it was just 8pm
2nd was with reaper and alkov. alkov imho spent more time making me laugh, than defending his base(cool chat on this one alko )...for example his huge swatteam
well...he did a lot of wallwork, that i didn't get, so i just could go in with 20 m1a1s and crush him with no real counterwork. i let him survive with some infantery and a harvester, but the red AI was after him and chased him across the whole map and alko than ran into the red's base trying to to a harvesterkill on the buildings...well...that didn't work out
than it was just me and reaper(who was silent all the time). i saw large parts of his base, but didn't expect him hiding lotsa tanks in the unrevealed corners. so i thought it'd be a easy deal(me idiot wasted the ion on his refinery - it and the harvester had 1% health left :p)
so he killed 5 or 6 tanks of mine with his ion and it was a nice battle on the entrance...i got through his whole base, but couldn't do real harm to his home.
than the red always annoyed reaper with peak attacks against his harvesters, so we allied, to crush him and join some other games and not wasting so much time on even battles
this was an easy deal, even that reaper did not have so much tanks left - teamwork made it really easy
3rd or 5th or 6th game dunno took it's time, cause Tri4Force had a lotta problems with his connections, Nyerguds could't get a working server to run and so on
so finally i hosted for Tri4Force and Reaper(again ;p)
huge 3on3, where i just had on entrance and clustered it with obelisks and ssms(why did i play NOD again??? i always play gid...whatever...me r00lt ) triforce and reaper really got troubled by the AIs in the beginning...so i just kept on building ssm's (do nodguys build any other units? :p) and sent them to my friends in the west and south...thx to these i got a high kill rate, cuase my ssms always killed the infantrists.
crushing the AIs was quite easy till reaper and tri managed to get their m1a1 and mammooth-production running. started off in the north with pink(the one that got me the most kills (screen), than me and tri headed south-east for the skyblue one, what was really easy(screen.
reaper thought his mamm's'd be enuff for the red one, but he just asked for help and 50 units made it's way to the west (always nice imagework on the map ). when i arrived reaper nearrly lost his whole strikeforce, but ssm's r00l the world...hehe screen
nice game! don't know how long we played, but at 1am i got tired and ritired cause i was tired...hoo...whatever
really funny

Banshee... that other guy in your 'Third game' was a friend of mine. I had sent him some files to run without CD because he's about to move and his TS CD's were already packed and put away.

oooh yes. Didn't even need to be blue tiberium... it exploded well anyway ^_^
Banshee sure as hell didn't expect me to suicide my harvesters
Pretty hilarious... he let all minigunners shoot at it to prevent me from running over more of his men, and BOOOOOM, they were all gone anyway _________________ QUICK_EDIT

why do you have do do these on a weekend? do one during the week so i can have at least 1 go against a human opponent _________________ That acting was so bad I think you gave me Cancer...
ya ive got classes to but im always out on the weekends if i get someone else whos got Rotd can we play each other over Xwis without going on the ladder? _________________ That acting was so bad I think you gave me Cancer...
Was fun.
My first game was with dooffy, terror & clazzy, i send a humvee to doffy which was followed by heaps of visceroids which murdered him haha! while clazzy & terror kept battling each other, i sent some orcas & stuff & killed terror, then it was 1v1 for me & clazzy, we where both doin good with heaps of mammoths & stuff until it said clazzy's connection dropped out.
I had other various games, one with banshee, doofy & eatmycar (carno), & we both cleaned doffy & eatmycar up with ease haha, was quick game.
i also had a game with dvd, banshee & eatmycar, i basically mopped eatmycars base but my base got pretty hurt heh, so did dvd & tech level was only 4, however with a turn of luck *surviving all the buggy rushes to my base* we eneded up beating bansh hehe.
Ive had various 1v1's with DvD throughout the week, sometimes (liek the pictures of the game he posted here, although they are showing his victory lol) it looked at first for a while liek i was going to win - but DvD always seems to drain my energy with his multiple bases tactic haha. QUICK_EDIT
that game sucked for me j4m3sb0nd. you were both ion cannoning my obelisks and i couldn't get out of my base for tiberium cos u were owning it with stealth mamoths. Last edited by TerroR on Wed Nov 10, 2004 12:58 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT

The problem was that when I just finished building my war factory I accidently cancelled it due to the lag, when I really just wanted to deselect a unit. As you can imagine I lost a lot of time with that. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Or just PLACE a building -_-
I wonder what happens if you plae a building, and then cancel it during the lag before it's actually placed. Would it place the building while the money is already retured and crash or something? _________________ QUICK_EDIT
No your cancel comment has the same lag time, it would be interpreted after the building has been placed and after the icon has been reset to normal state. QUICK_EDIT
After destroying his weak base, all Carno has left is a huge group of stealth tanks. Quite hard to find in TD... He gets a free MCV however and builds a new base all the while thinking i don't know about it.
