Comic Relief Replay

Little know fact, if you researched all the titan research, you only need to keep 1 military lab alive in order to fully build/rebuild one.

Very interesting.  I had always assumed it was the opposite and as a result didn't even bother trying it or checking the reference files.

Funny how sometimes via confidence our perception can cripple our ability to correct false assumptions.

In anycase nice catch- without this being pointed out to me, who knows how long I would have remained in the dark.

Actually between skilled players this is very well known fact. This is one of reasons that I advocate that all research to be usable should be tied to active labs..... 

For the record I did not rage quit.  My SB was still up and I was pumping sentinals into the fight while upgrading the SB. 

My connection has been ridiculously inconsistent for several weeks now and it has led to many MD's and "disconnected from ICO" events.  The disconnects are frustrating, playing a skilled opponent (win or lose) is far from "rage" inducing, it is the reason I play this game.

I hope you and I can face off again soon Ekko, it was a tight fight we had going on, and even if I'd lost that SB at your astro I would have continued playing I had a solid back up you'd already retreated from.

Hi Mr Book - that's cool, I have never played you before so I was only guessing it was rage quit due to the timing of your first SB being destroyed. I know how often MDs can happen for some people though so I shouldn't have assumed it was a RQ. In any case, I stand by my analysis that you had lost the fight - the first SB was almost destroyed when you dropped - there weren't enough sentinels there to stop the bombers. I had enough bombers massed to then take out the next well's SB and just kept building disciples to deal with the flak. Building 2 SB like that at the start of the game is crippling to a Vasari economically so if you lose one you'll need feed to survive. It's why I called it an All-In strategy - you put all your cards in and bank on the rush working - if it had, I'd have been pushed back to my HW. It's an annoying and cheesy strategy but it's common enough amongst Vasari players who do little else that as long as you see it coming and get bombers ready, it's not too hard to defeat.

My guess is it dropped me a bit before you saw me drop in game.  However, you make fair points in your analysis.  I won't say you had me beat, but I do look forward to meeting you again and finding out

The siege rush by reaper in this replay was funny, if not somewhat pointless in the end. Not sure why purple didn't just kill him.

If only the TS conversations we have had went with the replays.......

... people would wonder who would win: Pudding or Cookies?!

Awesome replay.

Ok, another fun one. First time I killed a skilled players front line capital planet with culture.

It's called Youtube or the Livestream starplayer is doing now.

Speaking of which, you, boshimi and Sinperium have not been on TS often lately.

Speaking of foreign culture, Zombie y u hijack my replay thread with your brain dead replays?

There another thread for stupid replays???

j/k, I don't mind.

That was a good watch actually. The teams looked a bit stacked in your favour but Aquia made it close by basically carrying their whole team.

I figured or at-least hoped that was the case

Ya, Aquia's a beast. And the teammate next to me played well despite being relatively new'ish.

Sadly life is busy. :'(
