Perhaps it's an odd way of thinking, but I'd rather give them a fair fight instead of me playing a real life video game killing real people behind my computer screen. I'd be fine if we had robots fighting robots but now it seems one side toys with t...  [Read More]

No. Give them a standard soldier's equipment, put them in squad and make them travel throught the streets of Iraq for a day without escort. It'll be funny to see them after that. Lots of technology these days can make war seem nothing more then a v...  [Read More]

That's why you have to use the faster Rohirrim to pick off the enemy's troops slowly. I do admit Mordor is hell to beat since they can spawn so many Orcs....  [Read More]

That is not the point. Uniqueness does not kill tactics. If people want to use any particular tactic, they can with any civ. They will have a hard time pulling it off due to the civ's playstyle thus undermining attempts at doing so. The player unde...  [Read More]

But those tactics are totally unrealistic for the particular civ. You claim we must only use realistic tactics thus those tactics would be unallowed. Secondly, you claim that these tactics would fail to do any decent damage to enemy just like a real...  [Read More]

For god's sakes Windu read the f*cking posts. Turret pushes are not a common strategy, they're merely used for annoying the enemy. I'm gonna show you this: This is what a turret push is: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/lukeiamyourdad/scr00...  [Read More]

It doesn't matter if I explain everything to you. All you want is SW: noobfest. I'm through arguing with you. In the time you've spent here, you haven't changed one bit. You contradict yourself at every turn. You don't want a civ building game but...  [Read More]

I just use the terms CC and power cores to make an example. It doesn't exactly have to be a CC and a power core. The RTS market has become a niche market. The casual gamer is now looking for a much more cinematic feel when he plays a game and the R...  [Read More]

Jesus... Have you ever, ever seen somebody successfully putting a turret in someone's base? I'm sure that tactic has done HUGE damage to you and is not both a waste of time and ressources. I say it again, having a buildable area around the CC and e...  [Read More]

Windu-For the love of God read man. READ. You've never seen what a forward base is do you? What do you think it is? A cluster of turrets? I don't see how my idea isn't viable. I told you already that to build a forward base, you would need to build...  [Read More]

I have yet to see vet of any other RTS complain about forward bases. The new RTS do not have the TownCenter spamming ability of AoK so there's nothing to worry. Even so, trying to build a fortress in the middle of an enemy's base is a waste of both r...  [Read More]

Windu's just pissed because he got beaten by someone who built a forward base and wiped him out :D It's going to be a different game right, but it doesn't mean we're not going to have some kind of similar problem. See borders make no sense. There'...  [Read More]

Windu- No no no...there are key differences. Your border system restricts construction of additional CC. In this system, you would be able to build a CC at the other edge of the map and people would be able to build inside your buildable area as long...  [Read More]
