How many computers can I stack up?
« on: 15 March 2009, 09:53:11 »
How many Ultra Computer players can I fight that are all on the SAME TEAM? I started with three computers, but they kept coming at such a rate that I never even got to leave the base, so after about 400 units, I died. Next I tried a match against an ultra magic and ultra tech on a team. WOO! That was a good battle. Here's the screen:

I started out by reinforcing a very strong base, trying to get a lot of units, then for the next twenty minutes, I hung on as waves of foes came, often at the same time. Finally, I sent about 75% of my force to attack the magic faction in the south, just managing to destroy it, and then sent some workers to build a second base there. Tech was another story. They seemed to attack my second base more, for some unknown reason, maybe because they *still* thought it was their allies base?

I lost the second base three times before I could reinforce it strong enough. Man, airships are brutal against battlemages...

Some time later (I didn't really count, but it was a while) I sent a large force to attack tech, but it was wiped out pretty bad. I continued to send forces to attack the foe, and at one point tech sent an exceptionally powerful attack at my second base, which destroyed it yet again, but while they were attacking that, I decided to send the majority of my people from my first base to attack. After literally 'owning' about a quarter of the enemies base, the attackers that hit my second base came back. They still had a lot of airships and horsemen, so after a battle with LOTS of flashing lights (seriously), I lost, but I beat the majority of the foe.

Now I sent the rest of my base, and made another 16 battlemages to lead the attack, I (finally) defeated the foe.

*One question, how does the deaths part of the scoring work? I'm pretty sure I had at least 30ish units still alive at the end and I believe I killed most of tech's units (except for some roaming patrols and stuff).

Next week: My next attempt at taking on three ultra on a team. I really need to choose a good map though. I need something that'll work good for magic, will allow me to have lots of resources, multiple bases, and stuff. Big River's really good, but I get boxed in my own base too easily by three ultras.

Nice!
I like to do that but only with techs, I don't like much magic.
And with Elves I can beat 3 ultras  :o!

Elves and dwarfs are WAY overpowered. Magic is unique because people complain that it is weak (it isn't really, but it needs skill to use)

I know they are, thats why I said that.  :D

I agree about magic, is not weak! I'm not complaining because of it weakness, I just don't like it.
