CNC Zero Hour

This is a review of Herb (Laser) vs Dackel (Tox).

<3

Skill level: 6.5/10. I felt both players were playing very slow and not very proactively with their units. Even though this was a cw iirc (-MaD| vs [OoE]), it felt more like a ffg. Some nice moments though and moments of solid play and strategizing that would hold out even in 2021 I think!

Entertainment value: 9/10. Very close game, I won't say anymore! Nothing special in the replay that would push it to 10/10 though, but I still think this should have got gold at the time, hehe.


[OoE]Dackel:

I liked the 3 supply strat! It's something you'd see these days in 2021, and at the time it felt weird/ like it wasn't going to work. Hardly anyone was using terrorists from the rax to deny dozer drops back in 2013 when the game was played so nice play from you! You were a little bit too passive at the start and didn't keep my vee count down, so I was able to go up a side and start harrassing your WF which was open and undefended. This put you onto the back foot. However you made some nice distractions and pressure which allowed you to get your next WF up safely as well as a palace with your choice of jarmen and battle busses. You denied the mid from me nicely, and stopped my collection (which I was surprised I was even doing in 2013 haha because so many players used to spam SDZ instead of fighting for the supplies which is the right thing to do). Very nice micro overall, but you seemed a bit of a shadow of your former speedy self at times. The 3 star tox ambush gave me some major problems. If you maybe had followed it up with a battle bus to my SDZ, I think you could have taken this one. WP and GG anyway!


-MaD|HerB:

Firstly, nice beating Dackel with a CC keep as Laser xD WP buddy. You played USA quite nicely back then, as the strat wasn't usually to go straight to the WF and cause pressure. It was more clear side tunnels, then get SND up so nice future thinking there! You were ridiculously slow with your units though :X Infact at times, some units were completely idle and doing nothing. I did NOT like the late game SDZ spam as USA vs GLA! I'd rather make more vees and clear the middle for the big amount of crates there. You should have put some infantry in the middle bunkers then defended it with vees while you collected from the mid. Funny microwave drops, don't know what you were thinking haha, guess it made the game a bit more interesting. Oh man, the days of playing on TD. ZH is much more fun these days with the vast selection of maps! WP and GG.
