Title: Which Is The Best Way To Win
Post by: Quantum on July 09, 2007, 12:07:11 PM
I started this poll because I always hate it when people start crying when I beat them with flares personally I like the whole flare idea :D

Which way is most Noble ?

That would of course be to meet them in the open with the exact same amount of forces and just clash the forces together in a huge frenzy. And avoid all decieving tactics all together.

You may of course lose, but you have fought nobly ;)

But when you make a poll, you're asking for everyone else's thoughts. Not your own.

Not really they can only do damage at closer ranges compared to a Rail or RPG even a Laser or Mic.  plus Like all things but spiders Emp stops em dead.  I Have survived a unit limit rush of lynx flare because of emp.

The best way to win is to use EMP units.

NOVAS GO BOOM

has good range if you have an army of micro waves vs two novas who would win?  :D  
Title: Which Is The Best Way To Win
Post by: Sirbomber on July 11, 2007, 04:47:03 PM
The Microwaves? They'd own the Novas first, unless you really suck or are blind.
Title: Which Is The Best Way To Win

do you want to test this theory?
Title: Which Is The Best Way To Win
Post by: Sirbomber on July 11, 2007, 07:30:00 PM
What theory? Microwave vs Nova? No need to test it. Have the Mics attack while moving away. When the Nova is damaged and really slow just move in for the kill.
Title: Which Is The Best Way To Win
Post by: zanco on July 11, 2007, 10:33:33 PM
That would depend on who is giving directions to that Microwave or that Nova.

Me and the novas will loose

Split the force and take each nova on separately and they will die quick.  Its not always a good thing to let them randomly fire.

MY STRATEGY (FROM ONE WHOS NEVER PLAYED MULTI)

1.) Kill vech + Structure factories
2.) Kill COMMON ore smelter
3.) Kill Power
4.) Kill CC

but what do i know. i like to use the long, no supernovae strategy

Post by: Betaray on July 12, 2007, 01:03:54 AM
Pretend to give up and transfer your army to them, but at the same time transfer a nova or a couple flares pre-ordered to attack their cc, with any luck they wont notice it, and because they belong to them their defense wont attack them.

Against a skilled player it has a low chance of working, but when it does, it is hilarious!

Yes it is? Without their CC the game fails them.

2 Novas against a group of Microwaves/Lasers  the Novas would get smoked.

Post by: Norsehound on June 25, 2008, 10:33:19 PM
Depends on what side I'm playing.

As Eden, the best way to destroy my enemy are many Thor's Hammer Tigers. This 'iron storm' almost literally crushes all opposition sent against me... but it's not entirely THTs- I throw in some EMPs, Acid Clouds, and maybe a Laser Tiger or two (to mow down spiders). This is the winning strategy I have for Eden on, say, Starship CG (Or reclaiming the origional colony area on population).

I can't say I've developed a winning strategy for Plymouth... rushing the base early with Microwave Lynxes before they become entrenched seems to be the best strategy (on Starship II anyway...). Though I'd have to say whenever I'm on the defensive, my first targets are Acid Clouds, the EMP, Rail Gun, and then Laser lynxes. My spiders keep dying too much for EMP + Spiders to be truly effective.

:op2:

Some of funniest wins have been single-unit attacks with a supernova to their CC.  Most people don't see it in time because of the color I choose, lol
Title: Which Is The Best Way To Win
Post by: Spikerocks101 on November 30, 2008, 04:05:31 PM
How about an unique strategy, eh? Something with alot of micro managing and very weird?

Enemy is has tigers (say there EMPs/Thors/Acids or EMPs/ESGs/RPGs), you are Playmouth, and you have 5 lynxs Super Novas and a ready EMP missile, you win, no? If not, back it up with 5-10 mircos to get the guys still EMPed or the runners. Or have 3 Super Novas and alot of (10-20) of semi-upgraded scopians, you rush an advancing army with scorpians to damage (slow) them down, maybe even a stick foam or 2, and then send your Super Novas in, they ought to be faster then the advancing army now so if they run, you can still cautch up. Or just spam StarFlares :)

BTW, do Tiger/Panther/Gaurd Posts-Flares/Super Novas do more damage, or just have better armour then lynxs?
Title: Which Is The Best Way To Win
Post by: Hooman on November 30, 2008, 11:15:55 PM
Guard Post Starflares/Supernovas do more damage.

I don't know about Tigers. I seriously doubt the Panther does any extra damage.
Title: Which Is The Best Way To Win
Post by: CK9 on December 05, 2008, 10:52:24 AM
Panther doesn't do more damage, it just has better armor (tested this several times in single player)

Post by: Sorcer on January 08, 2009, 06:30:14 PM
my personal opinion is out survive them :) aka stay baracaded in base with a medical center, residence up and running and watch as my colony flourishes even though the demand grows while they die off.
Title: Which Is The Best Way To Win
Post by: fighter on January 08, 2009, 07:33:39 PM
best way to take out a colony is a planned attack formation.
long range lynxs in back, short range tigers and emp panthers in front.
i just move and wait. anything that approaches usually just gets blown up. this tactic has helped a LOT of times when the AI pulls off something smart, like sending a ton of vehicles to take out my new colony in  eden population.
(i usually build near the bottom for the rare ore)

ok for the fight out between novas and micro/lazers....in my opinion the micro/lazers would win depending on who's controlling retreating while they fire at the nova's would beat the nova's cause the nova's can't fight back without going pop and their range is not as great as the micro/lazerz so your nova's go pop injure a few of my micro/lazers and guess what the great thing about nova's is....YOU CAN'T DO IT AGAIN NOOB!!! it's like a suicide bomber. they can only do it 1 time. 1 micro vs 1 nova = micro win, 1 lazer vs 1 nova = lazer win. simple as that get over yourself
Title: Which Is The Best Way To Win
Post by: Spikerocks101 on April 10, 2009, 10:54:30 AM
1 micro vs 1 nova = micro wins? yeah... "I might not have anything left, but atleast i'm still a left eye".

Obvious flaw with your theory:
Why would I waste a Nova on a Laser or Microwave Lynx?  I would just go around you and own your CC.

Nova wins.

Nova wins.
wasn't a question of tactics on killing the base it was a question of nova vs lazer/micro if it's a question of knocking out base to win yeah go after cc ignore the lynx but the question was a 1 v 1 battle vehicle vs vehicle not base vs base with only 2 vehicles being a lazer/micro and a nova....
Title: Which Is The Best Way To Win
Post by: Hidiot on April 29, 2009, 06:46:08 AM
On a purely theoretical basis, maybe. But practice says you'll never, ever see that situation, unless you don't know what you're doing or know very well what you're doing and have several other novas to use.
Title: Which Is The Best Way To Win
Post by: CK9 on April 29, 2009, 05:24:31 PM
In a "theoretical basis" it depends on what the chasis is.  An upgraded-armor lynx nova vs an bob-upgraded lynx mirco/lazer will win hands down (as long as you keep your finger hovered over the self-destruct button).

the best way to win is to go back to the irc or where ever you people are complaining these days and not fight about who did what to who how and 300 page fight that amounts to nothing more then a pissing contest.

that would be the best way to win :D

it's a discussion there's no pissing contest or super fight going on here were discussing which would win in a semi civilized very violent way.
