The first Emporer: BFD Battle Report EVER!

[DukeLeto]

Yep, that's right, I have turned in the first E:BFD report ever at the most prestigious BR site out there, BattleReports.com.

Go and view it here.

I hope to see some of you submitting some!

Note: Some of the language is kinda harsh, at least by my standards, especially that screenie. Hide the 6-year-olds. ;)

(Oh and Ken, there's a link to your Newbie Guide in it!)

What's so special about a battle report?

[Dunenewt]

You didnt learn anything - Ordos rule!

It's the first Emporer one there, did you not pick up on that? :P

[lowzeewee]

its just a report on a battle.....no matter whether its the first,whats the use of one anyway

[DukeLeto]

The main point is to learn from the experiences of others to better improve you skills...

And sometimes they're funny, too. ;)

Hi All !

I hate to say this, but I already posted a "battle report" on HTML, during the Fed2k Landsraad Tournament, which can be seen on http://www.dcc.fc.up.pt/~pribeiro/ebfd/. This was on January 26th, and I posted it here on the forum. And I'm pretty sure that lots of other people had already done things like that before me (I remember seeing some "illustrated stories" about battles on some clan sites).

Bottom line, no this is not the FIRST battle report made about E:BFD (ok, maybe the first one on battlereports.com).

Anyway, it's nice to see this kind of story, so, thanks, DukeLeto! :-)

this is not the first battle report

some players have posted many extraordinary true stories of their greatness long before the idea of a battle report ever entered your head

here's a good battle report:

That sounded like a very boring battle.

Uhm, I just read this, and during my short career in Multi-play (ExoEth, maybe you've seen me), I trounce Harko's with Ordos every single time. Assault tanks fall like flies to the quick manuvers, and troopers are flattened in just a few seconds with Dust scouts.

On a positive note, good adivce on the attrition. Putting out a few AA-capable units onto the spice fields early on (if JUST to kill the carryalls) can spell early doom, even for mega-money games.

Though Sir-Cursealot was really wasting his money with EITSs. You use them more for psychological tactics, and as very, very, very, very , very nasty, sneaky, EVIL ways to kill off scores of smaller buildings (idealy AFTER base power has been cut; AFTER the loss of 2-out-of-every-3 harvestors brutally choking off their fundage; and AFTER all and any Elite Sards/Troopers/AATroops/Mongooses are slautered without mercy) once the proper steps ( ;D )have been taken. NEVER as the main attack force, and MAYBE after a (moderately successful, in that they killed EVERYthing moving) thwarted main-attack. But only then to seriously damage the power grids, buying you a bit of time to muster more troops... Or pave the way for either Infiltrator frustraions, Sardy mop-ups, or Feyd sabotage.

P.S: Sorry to sound liek a vindictive jack-[bloop!] but you said something not-good about my favorite house.

Okay, but read my first post carefully this time... ::) Ah yes, the first E:BFD first battle report at BattleReports.com.

It got a four...the rater said, basically, that WW RTS games suck and never to report on one again. Glad for the objective, non-biased rating. ::)

Very, very nice! It was informative and engaging with a kind of dry wit you see often. Keep up the good work.

All are newbly good thoughts belong to you!

I have no idea why I added that...

[DukeLeto]

ACK! Just look at the comments people are making!

why did you post this garbage

PEOPLE STOP MAKING EMPEROR BATTLEREPORTS NOBODY CARES OK?

Emperor: Dune looks basically the same now as when it was Dune II, 15 years ago - just with markedly improved graphics.

Now get out there and get them in line! ;D

[DukeLeto]

Well, I guess the raters saw things differently: 6.5! :D
