Strange Things...

[Dragoon Knight]

Post here any strange things that have happened while you've been playing Emperor.  Graphical glitches, AI quirks, team-mate or enemy actions; anything out of the ordinary. :P  I'll start off with a couple of my own experiences.

- One time when I was hit by a Hawk Strike from an AI enemy during a skirmish, my carryall attempted to airlift an afflicted harvester off the map.  It succeeded, but the carryall remained sort of 'frozen' in place at the edge of the map.  I couldn't highlight it or anything... it just stayed there. :D

- During quite a lot of my LAN / Skirmish games, if I have a base in the corner of a map and I scroll to the very corner (usually where my Con Yard is) I hear constant machine noises... not sure what exactly they sound like... usually just a sort of whirring, like something's stuck.  ???

- During a LAN game with one of my flatmates, a worm appeared in between some infantry rock and buildable rock.  Since it only had a tiny patch of sand to operate in, it just kind of wiggled back and forth.  What's weird is that it stayed there for the rest of the match. :D

How about everyone else?  There must be some great tales out there. :P

1 more strange story.

some weeks ago, i joined a host with 2 ppl in it. what i didnt knew was, that they were about to do a 1vs1 on a 2 player map. sandy pass. i guess it happen like that. in the moment when i have joined the host, they pressed PLAY. normaly i will come in the host and they have to re-accept. but maybe i joined a lil later, coz i started with those 2 ppl the game. on that 2 player map. they had their mvc`s on the normal rocks on sandy pass.....my mvc was on 1 of those side-rocks. the place was to small to do anything. i could move a lil bit but couldnt deploy or move down the rock. thats it. 1 of the 2 guys killed me in the end, to finisgh the game...

thats my story of 3 ppl on a 2 ppl map

Thats the sound Construction yards always make. Sometimes when I'm lazy, I'll just scroll around the map listening for that sound and Voala! enemy base found. It's honestly easier then actually scouting. ;)

One time, a few years back. I was playing a two on two game with my old friend Wiskid (If anyone knows him please tell me) I had a defensive sytem made out of minotauras, mongooses, sonic tanks and kinjal. When the enemy player attacked, all the units fired in unison- and nothing happened! You cold see the explosions where the minotauris, mongoose and kinjal projectiles hit the devastators but they took no damage! It was not until the came in range for the Sonic tanks that they were wiped out.
