Devastator_Mech Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Did you ally with anyone ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Well fair enough, I stand corrected. But do you play emp more now, or have you stopped? I heard that emprworm was going to quit in about 3 months and move on to something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken124578 Posted August 14, 2002 Author Share Posted August 14, 2002 Tactics are not entirely common sense. There are varying ways to kill your enemies and counter their attacks. They may not be apparent unless you give it some thinking. You obviously don't play online, otherwise you would not be saying that not many people have common sense. Do you really think people in general are that weak?!?! ???i did played a lot online, in my vacations, i woke up at 7 am, started up emperor and played games online, ate my breakfast while playing online, in the afternoon i ate soup, then started up emperor again and played online, i wouldn't stop playing emperor untill 10 pm in the evening, this would go on the entire vacation.when i have to go to school, i wake up at 7 am again, play emperor 30min. go to school, when i'm home again i'm playing emperor again, eat while playing emperor and stop at 9 pm to do some homework and sleep.i know i don't have an life but emperor was so addicting in those times :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Wtf? What do you mean you have to go to school? At your age? :D You mean college or university, don't you? Basically, I'm going through your stage right now, if I had cable I would be even more hardcore, because I have 56K I have to be careful how many times a dial-up, so the phone bill doesn't go through the roof.

Navaros Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 ken seemed okay when i played with him but he seems to think emprworm is a good player (ROFL) and emprworm is one of the worst Emperor players ever (among other things) so I've now am of the opinion that ken is not that good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timenn Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 He's right Navaros. This is a strategy board. And not a board of 'who is the best player?' If you are so good, why don't give strategies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within the first 5 min at the start of the game, don't expect anything more than light infantries from me as reinforcement, if someone is attacking me, DON'T expected my force helping you.

IxianMace Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 If someone rushes my ally, I'll usually pop turrets up in their base if it comes to that. However, most of the time, I just call worms and air drone rush to distract them, and buy my ally some time. If I'm being rushed and my ally is not helping me, then I defend myself BY MYSELF. I've learnt not to rely on allies to much now, because half the time they are crap and don't give a shit about you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Well your right, most people don't really help their ally much.And im a good example in being one of them, many people really wants to declare war on me after an ally !!Its mainly because i bearly help me ally !!

Timenn Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Well, you should always help your ally until you get in danger yourself. If you don't help your ally (and this counts for every house) you get in trouble because the other 2 start an attack on you or your ally, and when they attack your ally they will surely crush that one, because 2 vs 1 is (almost) always victory for the 2. And then they will attack you with both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Well of course not i NEVER help them, but i don't help much, usually mongoose or assault and Sardaukars and Fremen shall be the best reinforcement. Its not because im cheap, its because stronger units will take long in getting there so i'll send fast units.When im pretty stable, i'll send units to "open" a road between me and my ally for my reinforcements to get their or just by adv. carryall if urgent.

IxianMace Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 I like to consider myself as a good ally when I'm stable and safe and have the necessary units. I'll send my NAIBs (through space ;D ) to my ally's base if I have to protect him/her that much. I'll also send air drones as air cover if they're being rushed by gunships. Hell, if they REALLY need it, I'll give them a spare factory and refinery if I have any to spare. The reason I value my ally so much is because I hardly stand a chance against 2 players all by myself. But then again, my ally should have some common sense. I mean, I can't defend a twit, can I?

IxianMace Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Who was your ally? I don't send Sand Bikes. I'd usually send heavy units via advanced carryall. It depends on the situation really, how much money I have, what units I have, how quick I can get to my ally's base, whether I'm in danger, etc, etc. ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 What I do, and that counts for every house, when my ally is defeated, I quickly give my Barracks to him/her. So I can later build a mcv etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Well the important thing is to keep him/her from being defeated (as in a cross appears across their name when you press tab to view diplomacy/kills). However some people get so upset and pissed off that they just give you your stuff back (effectively defeating themselves) and then quit. Even when you could have revived them and given them a new base. :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Yes, I hate it if they do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devastator_Mech Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Well thats a valueable ally!! Sand Bikes as reinforcements after 30 mins of the game !!! hahahahahahahaha......... your ally is a faggot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 As I said before, I'll usually send heavy units. Sand Bikes are only useful for killing Feds that are calling worms, and hunting down scouts and Fremen warriors later in the game. Otherwise, they're almost completely useless. They could also be used as bait if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Well yes, thats the fastest units for the Atreidies, whatelse could be a better bait if your Atreidies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
