4v4 (Courtesy of me) It's an interesting game, sorta... Guy I faced minidumped. I think it's even money weather it would made that much of a difference if he stayed. My side had someone who we suspected to be a smurf, but turned out to be a newbie, happens often. So the newbie didn't lsiten at first, and got rolled like a fine cigar.  Special thanks to Dark Vortex for great attitude towards the new guy, and picking up the slack on his side.  Game ends with one side leaving due to some time constraints, but once again it's even money as to how it would play out. Especially since our side is heavy econ at that point.

OLD Entrenchment 1.03:

4v4 (Courtesy of Qu4r) Have not watched yet. Make comment later.

2v3 (From Top Vasari) Very nice game, the side with only 2 players wins.

4v5 (Courtesy of Me) Strange game. I won on my side barely by killing the enemy Marza which was at lvl 5. My marza was low like lvl 3 only because it was away from my fleet most of the game doing demolitions. I also took a beating to my income when my Homewolrd got a bit of razed :( Luckily I still had good income cause of multiple roids+neutrals.  Elsewhere there were so fights going on, my team was winning each of the fights thou, or at very least holding the line.

2v2 (Courtesy of Proliteri) Classic 2v2 with the winning team winning on both fronts. Multiple Capships used.

OLD Entrenchment 1.02:

4v4 (courtesy of JJ) JJ fights multiple players with heavy feeding going on all over the place.  Nice attempt at use of culture.

3v4 (courtesy of Brothers in Arms [_] ): Interesting i guess is only way to describe this.

3v3 (Courtesy of mysterious person): Lots of early action. No econ beyond neutrals.

5v5 (Brothers in Arms): Fantastic map, everyone has fun, even the losing side!

3v3 (Brotehrs in Arms): Good rush, followed by nice rebuilding.  Ending with a ncie starbase defense vs multiple fleets.

4v4 mixed : Mixed teams, sort of. The underdog team pulls an upset in this masterpiece of Sins art.  Watch an evil rush unfold on an unsuspecting victim who goes 2 civic labs first.  Also tactical prowess likes of which have not yet been seen by your truely.  Taking my opponent apart in a systamtic and strategic matter, piece by piece.

5v5 mixed : Faced with certain doom due to map positioning, can Astax pull off a magic trick to stay alive? Also so horrible horrible play by his teamates :) This game was really a 3v5.  One guy surrenders after he lost 1 planet.  Another guy has nagative income on 7 planets, and net income of 2.7 by late game (so much for mixing noobs and vets).  I didn't even notice till i watched repaly :( Comes with an extra special LOL moment at the end.

4v4 Economy on front : In MP you must be bold, and do as much as you think you can get away with! If you thinky ou can get away with doing economy on front, then do it!  Game is upsidedown, and assbackwards, some pocket players not doing econ? Guy on front #2 in credits and econ overal wtf!

3v3 blowout : When you get taken out early, it's a blow-out. Happens to all of us sometimes.  This game I made 1 mistake due to lag. I only got half the terran cap upgrade, oops.  I mixed my econ and military build up pretty good.  Only ran into trouble after colonizing enemy homeworld and a roid.  But my allies helped me out with some cash to keep my factories pumping :)

3v3 match : What to do when you suck?  Try complaining about the other guy getting fed. If that doesn't work, lose...

 

Please let me know if the replays show odd behavior.  Something that would not otherwise be considered normal :) Had 1 replay desync fromw hat I remembered, but after I restarted Sins it played fine.

Hmmm watching it now, is your name Uber in the game ?

 

I wish you guys would be specific in terms of game names, would give me an idea who to watch rofl, always gets confusing for me with these long 5v5 games heh. Still, an hour in and its looking interesting !

Howy i can't watch those DT replays :(((

 

witch one were thy?

Reply #130 Top

Top Vasari, your latest version gives me a minidump.  Considering I'm running a clean version of Entrenchment V1.041 you couldn't think of a reason why could you?  You don't have the diplomacy beta or something?  (I first got a hint it wasn't working when people started chatting about a suicide SB that didn't exist!)

Yet another match from today. It's a very nice 4v4 that culmunated in an enormous SC battle involving 7 Halcyon Carriers. I can safely say it's the best game I've ever played. ^_^

Hmm...nevermind, it works now.  Loving all these replays (and I just realised how to pause them - open the menu *facepalm*).

Reply #133 Top

Or press "Pause/Break" on the keyboard?

 

lol

Reply #134 Top

In regard to that game Salmon, was fun to watch... Was suprised that one guy got 7 carriers too haha but basically just having halcyons with no gaurdians for support did mean that when the time came they died far too quickly x3

 

All the bitchslaps of doom was hilarious though =D

 

Might  upload some of mine, more funny than anything else :P

Reply #135 Top

The guy that spammed all those Halcyons was [DT]Siddy.  I must say I have never seen so many capitals owned by a single player except in SP.  Although I hear he is an asshole, in his defense its nice to see someone using a different or original strat every once in a while, and he doesn't just spam illums because I've seen a few of his other games as well.

Reply #136 Top

Yeah heh, I can understand why they began to quit after that, that was such a powerful investment and as I said, to lose it so easily to bomber spam wasn't good :P

 

But was fun to watch x3

Here is a great 5v5. i really had expected my team to win but we pulled through.

I deal with an illum spammer who got 27k feed while i got none. i end up beating him and i deal the final blow in the game.

a really great game to watch HERE

 

enjoy

Okay everybody else is posting games, I might as well out 2 of my smurfs and post a few games as well.

2v2, VASARI SB RUSH:

I was "coming for blood" in the lower left (roid fucked, of course).  I pushed a few SBs on an Advent player in the lower right.  If you don't want to watch a brutally long game, this is the game to watch.

5v4 LATE GAME VASARI:

I was "Nightmare Crush" in the west.  We went 5v4 because their team was stacked and ours had a few newbs (by their own admission - I'm not calling them that).  I was in the feeder slot but did an unusual mil open which slowed my expansion because I was worried about having to help the newb to my south.  Features of this game include me building a fleet to counter an illum spammer, many starbases including a dual starbase setup at a desert chokepoint, using starbases to bridge neutrals and allied worlds so I could build a trade chain of 7, and some late game vasari techs like phase stabilizers which I did use to good effect at the end (wanted to bring out subverters, but didn't get the chance, heh).

We had a chance to win this one, I think, until all the disconnects and minidumps on our team, leaving just me and a newb.  I don't claim that I micro'd like a pro in this game - in fact I did almost no micro, and my game wasn't perfect in other respects.  But I think it's an interesting game to watch nonetheless.  I had 2nd most frigates killed, I think 2nd most in either shield or hull damange, and was near or at the top in fleet at some point.

Here is a great game

where i manage to counter halocryn Lf+scout rush

1 guy gets rolled at the start, but all of our other fronts push forwards and we end up winning

great to watch if you are having problems with the advent LF rush (i was TEC and he had nutrals near his HW giving him an econ advantage)

Question: How do you win 1 with 2 ais vs 3 as vasari?

(my first teammate dropped at game start and the other quit after being attacked for the first time after panicking and demanding feed all game; this game also stars Elrosh on the losing team, feeling pretty confident after my last ally quit...)

Reply #144 Top

I play some diplo in SP. I'm back in Civ4 for now. I tend to circulate between few games so I'll be back to Sins when Im tired of Civ4 again.

I just got around to watching you 4v4 where everyone left.That was a good game.Crazy.You changed fleets like 2-3x and barely survived a few times.I thought you managed your cap very well to survive to level 6.Good replay to watch thanks.

Reply #146 Top

fist off nim, that game was never 3v1 as you say it was, and any idiot who watches it can tell my parters were worse than any ai, you never had to deal with more than 1 person or ai at a time. while i had to deal with harrassing ai, and a partner who couldnt fight off a ai at all

I'm a "new guy."  I'd like to know what a smurf is, and why I might be one, if I'm new. Here is my first ever online game.  5v5 Large Random map I think.

Here's the lineup.

 

Team 1 - Winning team.

.S.W.A.T.. (TEC, shows how to do a TEC Scout rush thing.. interesting.)

Keasofski (TEC, me, pay no attention to my ineptitude)

{SB}=>Ferdie (Vasari)

{SB}=>Elrosh (TEC, started in suicide spot between 2-face and Pharmer)

Xaonos (Vasari)

 

Team 2

Pharmer (TEC, started in suicide slot or whatever it's called, between me and Elrosh)

Ertnom (TEC, started in pocket)

_|~2-face (Vasari, same thing as Pharmer, between Elrosh and SWAT)

ApocalypseBringer (Advent)

_|~jbaum (Advent)

 

I hope I have appropriately used the terms above.

 

5v5 Entrenchment 1.041
