Hi all
Sry, but generally noob replays. Except 2 8player ones posted by
Lightstorm, where some sense could be seen among certain players.
The second
Lightstorm's replay really sucked. The Scrin was stupidly wasting units, while they could 2 times easily destroy GDI. And GDI waited for Scrin to die of old age or something with rusty tank armada scared to attack 3 buildings-base with no units protecting it, waiting for ion cannon to pop em in 3 secs probably. Scout ppl, scout to know your enemy!
confactor, I wouldnt be so proud of these matches (sry couldnt see the last, some errors there). In 8player match your were barely noticeable, 4 players there were much ahead of u and they took all the credits. And about your 4player match: I just couldnt watch how almost every player flawlessly began their attack, almost wiped out a player, and then suddenly became unable to control his units and wasted em in a few secs for nothing, more importantly, always leaving WF and CY intact. The told is not applicable to u,
confactor, u simply sit at your base in defense. Your fault was that u waited for ten thousand mammoths to be at your disposal. And the funniest thing u haven't even used half of them. If u play cnc3 u must feel how much dmg they do, how much they can take, how many of them would do the job.
Please ppl:
- When assaulting a base, when u feel u have some moments when defenses r already down and there is not so many enemy units but u certainly wont be able to destroy the base completely, please, why the hell u attack power plants going through the whole enemy base wasting units which could serve for a few more secs. When the guy doesnt even have an ion cannon or nuke 5 secs from falling at u. Attacking WF u immediately disrupt enemy's ability to fortify his defenses for a moment (the reason why almost in all replays ppl who attacked couldnt finish what they began) Then u destroy the CY to completely suspend building for some time, then u see if u regroup or maybe it's possible to finish the rest of the base off. Anyway if u do it this way and no1 else is attacking uve already won against this opponent.
- Manage your base, or at least produce more units while attacking another player. It's kinda funny to see how a player builds a base, then a pack of mammoths to attack some1 and launches em, while his base stays literally naked. Then he looses and begins to produce more mammoths. And repeat until some more advanced player just wipes him out with ten times larger force. Do not waste time! While attacking some1 close, build more. If u see u can do it, reinforce your positions, bring more and more. If u hate to destroy enemy's WF so much, and love to watch his new tanks to pop yours up, then at least bring more units to match the forces.
- Build balanced groups. If u dont know good classical examples, then experiment or watch more pro replays (many can be found on official website). A balanced group costs much less than single type group, but does same/more dmg. Combine units. It was really sad to watch these mammoth packs wasted for nothing, and thinking what could a player do with this money.
- When attacking kill unit by unit, not all vs all, unless uve got your mammoths against smaller vehicles. Its more effective to finish every big unit as quickly as possible before it does more dmg in time. Know to find target priorities quickly. If uve chosen one, stick with it until it dies. Do not change primary target all the time.
Ok, before anything else, sorry for criticism. Just dont be cocky about your victories. As for me, I consider myself a mid-level player, far from pro, so u can say all the bad things u want about me and my criticism/suggestions.
