erjin999 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Well, if anyone can go from being a nob to elite in 7 days itll be our mords. Good to see he is playing online again.Spicy, dont worry, try not to get phased by anyone, and keep playing.I always still give priority to building refs and upgrading the refs. No money means no nothing else. Unless its like he has a few units only and he is at your base, well make a fac or whatever, kill him, and sell the fac to get the ref again and concentrate on money again. If you keep the spice flowing, nothing else matters as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megashrap Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Spicy I know there are alot of good things on that Emprworm site, but by todays game-playing alot of those bo's really are outdated to what happens in todays games.It really has evolved in terms of early firepower I think. I think you do just fine in producing units. The only thing I can think of is maybe change and have some different bo's that you can use at any time..what I mean is don't use 1 type all the time, I've seen some lately that use 1 and use it constantly and get pwned as well.I just think when you use variety bo's then your opponents are kinda forced into doing the same to counter and keeps them on thier toes more vs. knowing or presuming what your always going to build. But you do fine, I wouldn't worry about it that much. And damn if thats Mord, all I can say is we've had some really gg's lately, but damn you ain't gotta go undercover with me lol, let me know if it's you or not i'm curious now. If so good to have ya playing again man. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madenod Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Np Spicy. It's so good to have you posting again and I get the feeling this is a great thread to :)I'd agree with nunu on the money situation of selling buildings for cash. I see it like this, If you need instant cash like you want to morgage a house then you get part money back, and you can use that to quickly build other things.Ok so its not a get rich quick scheme all thoough I wish it was, lol. ::)So mordus has a laptop already? :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicy Posted October 16, 2005 Author Share Posted October 16, 2005 yes but am not talking about selling or that anyone is trying to enter my base. just for ex am riding ziro at the start of the game. lets say i have 2 ref not fully upgreaded. the harvs are just become to return . i see that the opponnent are massing a bigger army than mine , but still didnt attak yet .. so at this time do i direct the incoming flow of money to make more units( sard buzez inf) . or do i pose untis and keep building untill i get over the riding zero status?? i am saying here that the spice at this time wont be enough for making units and bulding at same time.so whitch one of them is more importent. keep the construction going, or feed the flam of warnotice: that am not saying i will stop buiding or making units. coz the ref will make some extra soon . but its just that slight margin of who needs to be faster and keep going. and who can whait and slow down untill some more cach is availble. the bulding or the untis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Does his base look like he has upgraded refs ? If so, you are behind, and need the money, as he can do sustained attacks on you which you will lose. If not, then its up to you, I would stay in base, upgrade refs, and wait to get more money then him.If he doesnt have the money to back up a consistant attack on you, then he will be low on cash, and is like to try to rush you. Thats why I said stay in base, maybe make a turret... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spicy Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 personly i will miss xyroco, the genus nob. i wasnt so happy to see siolentee disapear at that same time. i linked between the tow things, i was olmost sure, but what made me think again was that i can still find siolentee/pearl nicks and they were not deleted. so i was one of those who guessed right. actuly i was whaitting for longer time so if siolentee didnt come back at all and a new player have his skill came up from no were surly there is a link... i know u are webmaster and its good to have u . but i will miss the nauty xyroco..the nob of the year lol who was trying to learn haw to upgread ref. eido he got you this time lol :-X ;D :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicy Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 as for the other topic. well i diceded finaly to pose inf. keep fac. keep building. keep upgread and pose inf. if i start loosing it will be you guys., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 How you can defense your base and harvessters without units ???If i haven't money i stop all ubgrades but I still make new units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 How can you make units with no Credits ?Checken...egg... ?But without credits you cannot make the units to defend the harvs. Harvs can last without protection, so I think that is the best bet. But of course, its up to you to do it the way you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spicy Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 no i dont. i used to but i stoped but i still have some riding zero status at start just for a short while and i was woundering what to do at this time. i mean there is a good flow of spice but its not good enough for all operation. i need to pose somthing and go on with the others so what to pose and what to keep going that is the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megashrap Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Don't get it Spicy, 99% of the time you go ref first, and doing that you should never be hitting 0 early at all. You also make engies so I know you upgrade bar early. Upgrading your conn. early would be my guess. The rest is a judgement call like Erjin said earlier. Sometimes I may go bar, fact, ref, ref, ref. I know I will be short on spice but again it's a judement call and gamble I go with, as with any I use. I notice what you usally make with ref first, and by the looks of it you are upgrading something that does not need to be upgraded. Everyone would love to go ref first but, you can't always do that. Again, try different bo's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicy Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 no i dont make eng early. untill the 3 ref is full upgreaded.and the fact is i go to zero even when i start with ref,coz evrery minut in the early game am having 3 things going on. making units, building, and ref upgread. i keep doing that in a stady flow, and belive me the mony is not enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearlmen Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 when ur money get zero, its not short of ur spice. it recover soon to ur money 10k or over.coz then you have 2ref and making units and upgrade ur refinary. it happen to others same. you seem to your money break for when you see zero, but it is just looking apperace. when ref first bo you dont need to worry about short of money.

Megashrap Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I think we are also forgetting a huge factor here for spicy...lag. And yes it does make a big difference in build+production speed. Spicy when and if you get that fixed, it will be a whole new world of Emp for you. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrd3m0n Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Hey spice heres some advice.If you run low on money, you should pause VEHICLES, never pause inf.Lets say ur money goes down to 200-300, then u pause vehicles for a while. You must always make sure that your ref upgrades can continue at any time.I myself always pause my vehicles at 300, wich will assure the progress of my ref upgrades, wich is in my opinion the main reason to pause. The reason you must pause vehicles is that they are generally the most expensive unit to construct, in terms of the speed of wich they use up money. If you dont pause, then your money will be distributed over all the things you are currently prodicing, upgrades and buildings beeing constructed at the same time, and logically if you are hitting zero there wont be any fast construction of anything because your resources are used up on numerous items at once. So pause your vehicles around 200-300, wait till ur money starts running up again and unpause vehicles around 500. Its just a guideline, u can always tweak ur personal preferences.Grtz Doom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicy Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 yes doom you understand exactly what i am talking about. like if you are in my base. i think you agree totaly with emproworm in 5 steps to be a great player emp strategy POSE VEHICLES he said what ever they are , air or ground. so pearl and others telling me to pose inf. coz VEHICLES are more importent and inf can be fastly produced later. so am confused am still confused.... i know now . i must keep bulding. keep ref upgreading its the units we have to slow down.. ok thats a step. now who think we should pose inf(sards or what ever) and who think we should hold the horses(VEHICLES) can we have few more votting on this one ( please guys let the big guns talk ) this is a matter of sensitevty :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megashrap Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 when ref first bo you dont need to worry about short of money.Again, I will agree with this. And if you fix the lag, you will have no more problems. See your used to that 56k speed, the rest of us play at a normal speed and yes it makes a huge difference in build times, speed of carrys coming n going, production,speed game etc. and often have to even make an extra ref. but it still doesent help make up for the lag.When you get a better connection you will see. When your carrys are taking harvs to spice at a slower pace than normal and returning slower, but your gueueing and trying to produce at a normal rate of speed that your used to, there tends to be problems. In fact those are the only type of games I actually HAVE to pause vehicles. If you still don't believe me, then do a single player skirmish and do that ref first bo you shouldn't even hit zero at all, and if you are your doing something else wrong.

spicy Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 am happy i lag. what you call normal speed for an rts game, sorry to say i find it histercal rts games was never meant to be a speed game, offcorse you can playe need for speed car racing or buy a space simulation games were u get to fly in light speed . but rts is like board games. they are realated to chess in a way. they are not called strategy for no reason. the way you guys playe it on speed 8 there is no time for all that. i see u just mass and send with some extra 50000k in ure poket . i find it not normal. i know what u will say and that u are fast. but who told u to be fast??? on the count of fine playing. and good strategy. i know u have been like this for all the years . and just one person cant be right and all others are rong. but its just my nature to be like this somtimes. and again this is not fifa 2005 football game. speed games are speed games and i bet u am faster than you. but rts are mind games. and to take off the time to think for a few nervous moves its just pathatec.lets say that u guys are like light man or superman. and am the slow moth...... well i tell u there is good list of players that are slower than me and belive me on speed 8 they are just like a turtul in a charly chapplen fast fowrowerd movie. they are just drifting in the habbit of speed 8 not knowing that is not the right thing to do at first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megashrap Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 No, what I call normal speed is one without hiccups, stuttering, freezing, sudden lag because I decide to move my army. I don't care what game speed is set on as long as that doesen't happen. If your gonna ask for advice on bo's etc. then at least take some of the advice given. 99% of us that play Emp, play with dsl or cable (normal speed), if you had that you would see a difference in your gameplay and build and production timing is all i'm trying to say. Until you get a better connection you will not understand what i'm talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
