Devastator_Mech Posted March 30, 2003 Author Share Posted March 30, 2003 If you use a ratio of 1 Devastator for every 3 Kobra, probably none of your Devastators won't be taken out unless all the Kobra were ordered to target 1 particular Devastator... If a ratio 1:2 is used, probably doing the job without anyone of them destroyed is a guarantee. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken124578 Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Again, devastator_mech, you're serieusly underestimating the devastator, a devastator, dropped right next to a group of minotaurs (8+) can destroy them all, for a group of 8 kobra's you only need a devastator.Wish i could show it to you online, but since you can't play online you just have to take my word this time ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan_ghola Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 the best way to destroy one is with a hoard of attack planes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you apply tactics to that?Unlike when against minotauruses, your adv. carryall can't help in anything because it can't pick up deployed Kobras.How about you show us by taking screen shots?8+ Kobras vs. 1 advance carryall + a Devastatoring? It seems too shaky to me.the best way to destroy one is with a hoard of attack planes.The lump of money used to build that airforce could be considered as wasted.

IxianMace Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Devastator_mech, you're heavily underestimating the devastator, know what? COME ONLINE NOW! and page me: ken124578 for the password of the gamemm... sorry my friend.I formatted my comp. and lost the original serial number so can't play online.http://www.dune2k.com/forum/?board=7;action=display;threadid=9085;start=0Good news. A friend of mine found a way to play EBFD game via lan. ;DAll you have to do is download the small program battle lan V0.5 and run it before you start emperor game. You need to fill in the ip's of the other players.This program allows you to play TCP/IP games via lan and works for windows xp/me.Check your ip by going to www.ipchicken.comI will try it out myself and let you know.Should be a good way to continue playing emperor when WOL has closed downDownload at: www.infoceptor.com/files/war3/battlelan.zipPlease post here if you have good/bad experience with this program in playing EBFD upto 8 playersAny1 who wants to test this, send me an im msg when you see me online on the messageboard 8)You CAN play online, without using WOL. Download the program mentioned above, and use it to play online on the 'fake LAN'. Of course, you still need the game to play... ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skilzat99X Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 heres a couple cheapo ways to do it for those who dont have the time to waste strategizing.1. Death hand missle followed up by 2 missile tank, 10 troopers, and 3 assault tanks, maybe through in a carryaled devastator.2.Chaos Lightning followed with 5 kobras, 4 Apcs, 4 lasers, and 10 AA troopers.3. Set up Minos, Sonics, mongooses, and kinjal around all retreat points they could use, then hawk strike the largest portion, theyll come right into the trap, as long as hawk stike doesnt wear off :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seal89999 Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 50 ways to penetrate an kobra wall? idiot... YOU SHOULDN'T LET YOUR OPPONENT BUILD AN KOBRA WALL!!Thats what I was thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 By the time the opponent has a kobra wall,he would have have at least a small group of lastanks and AA troops to keep out yr air units as well >:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted April 1, 2003 Author Share Posted April 1, 2003 "10 AA/troopers."Maybe that ain't necessary before they'll only help the enemy earn chervons..."You CAN play online, without using WOL.

Duncan_ghola Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 if your weathly and you have everything you need why not build a fairly large airforce? alittle work wont hurt you... but then again why take the chance. hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devastator_Mech Posted April 9, 2003 Author Share Posted April 9, 2003 Well actually no, when someone destroy even one of my heavy units, such as minotaurus, I'll be mad and say fxcking you to that person even though I still have 49 left... =_=" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Ummmm.....OK then ::)I m wrong.U can use minos to kill kobras....I tried it out last time ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetWerx1 Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 The Deva drop is highly effective...especially against Kobra. Remember, Kobra must shoot directly upwards when facing a target that is right next to them :D. Drop 2-3 Devas to each section of the kobra wall:8 kobra per section, and you will have defeated the kobra wall!P.S. If your devas start to look weak, detonate them :D!They have the power of an ix bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devastator_Mech Posted April 12, 2003 Author Share Posted April 12, 2003 8 Kobra vs 1 Devastator? I think maybe thats too shaky....Make it 5 vs 1, that'll work perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Even 1 on 1 will work if u pick up yr devo after the minos fire ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
