Kamikaze, Japenese for, "The Divine Wind." Today, kamikaze describes something suicidal.
Strategy 1:
You build lots of advanced labs and tokamaks around the enemy base, making it seemingly impossible for the computer to achieve victory
Strategy 2:
Build lots of scouts. Self destruct 'em at the enemy's command center.
Strategy 3:
Build lots of supernova and starflare units, and blow up the enemy.
Now you all should post more!

-
Strategy 5:
Send in all your EMP and Thor's Hammer Tiger, and when you finally get to the CC, self-destruct 'em.
---philipu2001
-
!possible stratedgy!
launch an EMP missle at yourself, all the while hiding your units in darknees away from the balst radious to bring enemies into a trap.
-
Strategy 8:
Surround them with walls, then blow up your own vehicles trying to get through the walls.
---philipu2001
-
Strategy 10:
Build light towers around the enemy as decoys for fire.
---philipu2001
-
Build a Supernova GP next to enemy CC.
-
send in scouts to distract the gps, while you sneak in units
-
Strategy 13:
Build nothing but cargo trucks, and blow up all the opponnet's morale buildings.
---philipu2001
-
Confuse enemy with EMP missles
-
Strategy 15:
Self-destruct all your lynxes at the CC, arranged to the tune, "It's a small world after all."
---philipu2001
-
That is why it is a strategy.
Strategy 17:
Build solar power arrays arround your enemy.
---philipu2001
-
That's not kamikaze, that's sabotage.
Strategy 18:
Use scouts to blow up their mines, then take 'em over with a Robo-Miner.
---philipu2001
-
Another Strategy:
Do kamikaze spider attacks.
---philipu2001
-
Kamikaze Strategy:
- Do the Death Button
---philipu2001
-
Build a line of AL's going to enemy CC. Then, when they are attacking, set off the fire cracers.
-
Build Earthworkers right off the bat to go into the opponents colony and demolish all his tubes so he cant do anything and so he'll starve.
Send scouts into an opponents colony and spell out his name before self-destructing them all and sending in supers (you could do the same thing with those), but spelling his name inside his base this time.
Send in lasers to distract the enemy and then more lasers from another side and then from a third some more lasers (but starflares or supers in the dark)
Use stickies to clog up the enemies mining (the same thing goes for emp missiles but no fun there :P)
Use robo miners/surveyers to keep the enemy from mining too many becons and then just build smelters by the ones you got when you need em.
Build gps inside an opponents base instead of using lynx (then self destruct the convecs).
Use supers to blow up both your and your opponents buildings at the same time so you both get "Victory Is Sweet"
-
build residences and walls to temporarily keep out enemy
---philipu2001
-
A fun thing to do is play a 6-player map (or some other map where the mining beacons are far away from the base)
Then, wait till they go to do rare ore. They will probably send a miner, and cargo trucks.
Get some ESG Tigers (or panthers), move them in the path the trucks take to go from the base to the mine, and shut their lights off.
The enemy will be unpleasantly surprised :-)
Or if they send Convecs to build a CC and smelter, just wait for them in their path. The ESG's will kill them, and they will lose the expensive kits inside. (Or do it on the way back if you don't get them right away)
-------
I also did once, is put tigers all over the map randomly, and shut the lights off. (The enemy starts rolling across the map to my base, and by the time it gets there, 1/2 of the convoy is gone)
-
Send in 32 scorpions on an enemy base, after firing an EMP missle. (timing has to be just right.)
-
There was this one person who had 5 starports in a row. Supernova got one, then got them all.
---philipu2001
-
Build a Super GP next to their VF
-
right when the game begins, build a gp or 2 right next to the other cc, and let them whittle its hp down to nothing, all before mark 25 lol
-
Use phil's strategy and do some kamikaze microwave/laser attacks, before MK 50.
-
if it is a landruch, blw up your earthworker, and all but one of your cargo trucks to kill their robo miner
-
Build scouts and send them into the enemies base (has to be done before enemy has combat vechs) and move them around so your enemy has a hard time deploying buildings.
-
Buld insanely thick walls around your base, then start building your army when the enemy is trying to get through. (I do that alot)
-
you have to totally block the edge where it spawns the units.
I know, you could do it the (evil) way, by hacking into the game's memory and killing off the Pinwheel.
(call Pinwheel::~Pinwheel() to kill the AI pinwheel. Maybe kill the attackgroups too. And triggers.)
-
on the last mission in the plymouth campaign, use et's with the scout manuver
-
lol, x. Yes, the famous scout menuver.
play kill the scout and have your sheapherds be thro's hammer tigers.
-
It wasn't me.
Play one of the colony games and find out where the enemey builds tubes, then play the game and build walls in those spots.
-
Flood your enemies base with Supernova Lynxs :D
-
thats fun too
build a tokamaic next to their base, than blow it up so it emps all his stuff
-
send in starflares to blow up buildings that they are making, if you do it early enough, 1 starflare can blow up a cc
-
On plymouth Starship II, take over the western area on the eastern enimy colony and keep capturing the convecs that are sent and use them against the CC.
-
anyway...
Build a tokamak next to the enemy CC, then destroy it
(Boom)
-
build super GPs next to their AL and CC.
Big Boom
-
I don't know if this was said, but build a line of ALs to their base.
-
late in the game, do a lazer lynx kamakasi run
an thats just a distraction for the starflares lol
-
I started this thread because I was bored. Look where it is now.
-
let me get it back on topic:
while playing beta, type in an insanely high mark, then when you feel you have enogh firepower, type in Blitz
-
When playing me, do an arena battle using explosives only. You will win
-
WMD is short for Weapon of Mass Destruction.
-
build 20 spaceports and do a neverending emp wave on the enemys base
btw I split the topic, I hope your happy
-
You split the topic!
Take out the enemy's trade center with some scouts. Bonus points if you do it at 9:11.
-
bonus points if you do it to philip on his birthday :lol:
-
Do you know when my birthday is? Anyway:
Blow up light towers with spiders.
-
extra bonus points if you use scorps :lol:
-
kill everything but his last cc, and send in a lone scorp to blow it up
-
Play against someone in your house, then sneak up behind them and have a really anoying sound go off in their ear.
-
play against somone right behind them, and then pull the plug on their computer
-
play against betaray :lol:
-
Launch RPG at computer unit. Then run.
-
overload the entire northeastern powergrid so the other person cant play
(oh wait, I did that about a month ago)
-
So, why have you not been caught yet.
-
its calld smarts, make them blame canada
-
Did you help place the blame on Canada? What were you doing that caused the greatest blackout in American history?
-
now if I tell you that, I would have to destroy the world so you dont tell anybody
-
But if you destroy the world, what good does that do for you?
-
well you wouldnt be able to tell anybody, if everybody is dead lol
-
So you are willing to commit mass genocide? I might have to ban you for that.
-
duh, thats what Ive been planning all along
-
We got an odd bunch of moderators at this forum. From sequel creators to megalomaniacs, this forum has practically every type of moderator.
-
gotta beleave it
-
Note: Topic way off.
As for startegy, I don't know if you can find any others. Unless you feel like building a hundred convecs and attacking with them.
Oh, build Guard posts in the place the AI builds them.
-
build supernova gp in random places, to blow holes in the enemys offence
-
build supernova gp in random places, to blow holes in the enemys offence
That isn't a good idea. They can easily be hit by EMPs.
-
its a random idea, this isnt a thread for good ideas
-
It may be a thread for bad ideas, but the good ones would be more appreciated.
Build Spaceports in the middle of nowhere.
-
hipocrate lol
um build of emp, like you said in the cheats thread
-
please this was one thing i can be master of. considering any one i use to play with expect the unimaginable. if there was a unit still lying around use it as kamakazzies.....my other practices will have to be fought in battlle....ma..haha..ha.
-
I dont remember if I posted this before, but if your base is overrun by enemys, and you have no combat units left, take yoru cargo trucks, and drive them next to the enemy units to self destruct, its pointless, but satisfying that you died fighting
-
If you have to go, and an enemy is in your bas, self destruct.
-
Have spiders go kamikaze against an opponet's army.
-
wht do u mean have the spiders go kamikaze against the enemy's army? i would just use the death button on them. It might kill me, but it would take them with me.
-
Well, I wonder what would happen, with death button on, if you detonated 32 Supernova Tigers.
-
I'd like to see that
-
count me in on that game
-
using scouts 2 selfdestruct next 2 the enemy's units is good.
if u have emps u can disable their stickys then run the scounts in and blow em up.
if u have killed there stickys or they have none u can also run ur scounts in.
there fast, cheap and effective.
-
in a pinch, convecs and cargo trucks work too
-
yup.
i was talkin about battle tactics tho
-
yea
in an extremly short game, build a gp as fast as you can and build it right next to the enemy cc and have it fire
-
that would work well. (lev could do that easily with my, just take my factories out)
-
ive killd many a person with that stratigy
-
oh man, x can u put upload for screenshots on this? i ahve got a hillarious one from my game against beta
-
man, camon, you had 2 3 bars when all I had was 1 bars give me a break!!!
-
but ur ending was hilarious
-
I die fighting
-
take on lev in a 3 player game where everyone is confused about what type it is. We thought it was 2 vs 1 on lev, he thought it was ffa
-
hmmmmm
at least you didnt get ore screwd lol
-
Prime and I went against lev and hacker. We won :D
-
kool
so, any more kamakise stragies?
-
just one, make a file that crashes OP2 for anyone who has it. :heh:
-
if your army is fighting a bigger army and you are going to loose, start building lynx, and have them bypass the army and hit their cc
-
u tryed that on me beta, then u tryed it with cargo trucks, and that is y i always leave a backup at my base. (exception when i'm playing lev)
-
be a color that blends into the map and play on pie-chat building many super lynx's
-
and how do you be a color that blends in?
send a raiding party to the other coloney, but right before it hits his deffences, convert them to their side, so that they go though, but the order would still be carried out
-
I never thought of that, that might be something good to try
-
distract them and then send in small amounts of units from behind.
-
I would have done it if I had enough ore to spare for a trade post
-
well beta, i hit ur rare so u would drain out ur ore lol
-
hack the death-button to work for self-destruct
-
yellow is the best color 2 use. u can hind lynx's by puting them on mines. sneek em in the back way on pie.
-
Make hundreds of supers and hide them on mines, then destract in the center and send them in? I like it... :heh:
-
i don't like that strategy, it used it on me yesterday, he sent a big army in the front for a distraction, and when all my units were there in the front, he back attacked my advanced lab, crippled me almost imediatly.
-
Paco almost has the same startegy and he killed me insantanously <_<
-
Paco, the one time I played him, somehow persuaded me to attack the computer first, which whiped out my entire army and half my defense line.
-
well that was stupid now wasn't it, never attack the comp first, take ur greatest threat out first.
-
It was the La Corridor map. I should have just built up my units. I used my "Die on my own terms" when he rushed over, he said I cheated, hes sis said I didn't.
-
btw, this should be a small mod we could probly do, but have light towers act like scouts and say enemy units spotted
than they would at least have a purpose
it would basicly be a stationary scout with a bigger sight range
-
that is a good idea, but the light tower is generaly to prevent sneak attacks, HAY, i now have a way to prevent it when people play day/night games
-
thats what im talking about, have the light tower to defend against sneak attakcs, you place one of those amoung your gp's so when they see somthing, it allerts you
-
and make it so it is one of the things the vehicles auto target to balance it out.
-
i c wht u are getting at, basicly modify the light tower to act like an imoble scout.
-
Secreatlly make pereations to blow up your own base, just a comple of major building like command center, structure factory, have convecs with cc and structure factory in wing, builld it right before u denotate thing your dead and over run his base with super novas( worked for me :D ) but game must be have 3 players and one aliance that way you are not defeated when the command center is blown to smiterins.
-
yea, I tried that once. Problem was, they left short range gaurds so I had to carefuly plan each step.
-
btw, the transfer to the enemy with the supers doesn't work, i tried it.
-
ive done it many times, the thing is to make it come in from the back, while you have a big battle to keep their attention on them, also being the same coloney as your enemy is good too, because even if the color is the same, ply and eden lynx look different
-
well, when i tried it, it didn't work, when i transfered them, they stopped in their tracks.
-
They must have been watching the units.
-
well, it was the game Prime and i, i think, played paco, i sent four units after his cc in the back, and transfered them right before his def, and they stopped.
-
he saw them and grabbed them as soon as they were transfered.
-
ah, that would explain it, he must have read about it here and new wht i was going to do, anyways, i think i will have to destract him so he doesn't look at the minimap, or get a color that blends with the minimap.
-
what color does blend with the minimap?
-
It depends what mode the map is in.
-
true, I always have it on normal, I can see things better that way
-
I can see most colors better on the countoured one.
-
persional preference I guess
I guess if you know the multy maps well, and you know wich color in the contor map is prodomint in those maps, you can choose that color, and hope that they are in the contor map mode
-
also, blue blends in to most maps whe you start getting lazy.
-
yea, and blue isnt an eye catcher, like red is
-
especially red on eden.
-
yep, and people look to those bright colores as well like yellow, light blue, magenta
-
I have no idea what that was supposed to mean
-
What color do you guess if you see a mining beacon moving on the minimap?
-
yellow of course
-
give the man a cigar, we have a winner lol
-
*zaps plym*
I'm straight edge, no drugs.
-
back to topic before x gets mad again
-
hmm! We've uncovered an important part of CK's life
*Gets marker and X's hands*
-
didn't I tell you this before?
-
probably not, and lets get back [OT]
-
I'd rather stay
(OT)
-
don't blame me when you get fined
-
This would only work with my seed coloney
It would be able to produce small units that have no armor, are very fast have 50 hp and have a wep similer to an unupgraded scorp
they would only cost 50 common mettals each and be very rapidly built, but they would also be able to be built 10 at a time
so with this, make a huge I mean HUGE amount of these things, and attack their base from all angles, you would get heavy casualtys, but because they are so fast, they would run through most defences and go strait for the target
this would work expecially well if the new game will have build ques and waypoint for the built units to go
-
Beta, I have to say that that is the best idea I've seen you post.
-
I agree. That sounds like the Zerg on Starcraft. I think that it would be a very good thing to include into the game.
-
an alternative, though, would be to build lots of arachnid factories, raise the vehicle limit, and build tousands of scorpians, lol.
