List of awesome youtube replays

posted on September 19th, 2010, 9:52 pm

but i actually did have a good many rheins

i must not have seen them. i thought u had at most 2 rhienns when cruisers came out, but if u had a more mixed fleet then that changes everything. and a mixed fleet in return would be nice. i always like to work s-2 into my fleet just for the +30% from the awesome juice.

and boggz, u must keep a list of duck related youtube videos, u really must love ducks. perhaps you should get a duck as a pet.

Yes, however i quickly started to produce more rheins

TUN and Njm did great.  The odds were against them as Ray and I were more experienced online.  Yandon couldn't always catch it but Njm killed both my exp minings constantly and avoided engaging my fleet whenever possible.  Exactly the right thing to do when he was being outproduced. 

The map is awesome btw as you are nice and cozy and the expansions are just right to avoid turtling.

Yeah i was really disappointed it oss, i woulda liked to have finished it off properly.

Also yandon, at one point you say that the c11 dominion ship was going to get away, (around 10:00) however my leavhal came in and just as you switch your camera spots used the metaphasic to kill it......

As usual, Yandon great job with the commentary, but one thing.  You used to look at which avatars people had chosen as soon as it became knowable.  Can you go back to doing this please?

just a tip for njm, when ambushing the enemy, dont click attack to decloak, click decloak. your ships will pick the target with the lowest defence and attack as soon as they start decloaking. instead of waiting for the ships to 4 second decloak and fire at what u asked them to. usually u want to be targetting the lowest def anyway. and u get 4 extra seconds of fire for free (as klinks)

EDIT: probes take 60% damage from susa due to 40% miss rate, not 40% damage due to 60% miss rate

Rather anticlimactic...

Congrats again Butters.

  That's interesting ... I noticed from the replay that no one used the wormhole ... odd.

  I'm still convinced that it has something to do with Wormhole mechanics.  I've yet to see an OOS on a non-wormhole map.

Hmm, those breen cruisers were a good choice for the leahvals, about an even fight. However, due to small mistakes on both sides... it was still an even fight.

Breen cruisers do great against leahvals, not because of any passive on either side.  Breen cruisers do great against leahvals because they have HIGH VOLLEY damage.  The waves of damage they produce make it very hard to track the ship being shot and cloak it out, which is why so many leahvals died.

Now, Ray should have gotten his leahval research, plain and simple.  Next time he probably will.
Also, TUN researched the special for the breen battleship instead of the breen cruiser, either a mis-click or misunderstanding.  If he had researched and used cloak, they would have been ridiculously hard to kill.

Both players could have built other ship types to add to the fight.  At the same time, it was acceptable that both sides didn't do this, because there was nothing wrong with either side's forces.  If the game had continued without the klingons, it would have been a relatively even fight.

With that said, I think Ray should have built saehirs.  I'm dying to see a yandonman replay with saehirs!!!!!

Yeah I'm surprised how good of a middle ground those Breen Cruisers are. Since from the start there was Borg and I figured the Romulans would start with Rheins I went S-2, but as soon as those Leavhals came in I was almost ready to go bombers. I saw a Sphere though so I did Breen cruisers instead: they rock against spheres, seem to do well against Leavahls, and don't get mowed through by rheins like Bombers would. My micro is still horrible though, I'll be working on that until next weekend
