Thought this might be interesting. In my opinion yet another example that proper com micro can save your ass. Suggest speed -2 when the fun begins.

Wow, cool stuff, but still, if he waited for one more bomber, you would be probably dead (he only needed one, maybe two more bombs). Anyway, cool micro, it was obvious how the bombers couldn't aim there for a while because ACU was making the rounds ;-)

It feels so much worse when you lose a game like that instead of winning it like that :l

Thanks for the comment. Yes, you are probably right, i think my ACU was done to 170 HP at one point.

Open Palms - AncientSion (Red) vs TrueRandom (Green)

A nice game on open palms here for your pleasure. Sion using Cybran and Random using Aeon. Its the usual story of Cybran spam but random doesn't race to tech up. Does it work for him? Well no, but its a bloody solid effort and if not for a bug in the game would of resulted in a win.

AncientSion - North

Some nice early harassing from you, taking out all Randoms attempts to expand. Would of been nice to see you trying to take the mex points in the area's you had cleared. Especially when it was clear you had him hemmed in. It took you quite a while to clear the right hand side of the map when you had more than enough units to do so. This maybe cos you had radar and played it safe in case the structures were PD's. It has to be said that you SHOULD of died to Randoms bombers but they lost their target which resulted in a run were you did not get hit. This was the difference between you winning and you losing.

TrueRandom - South

A strange game from yourself but this added to the entertainment value. Your attempts to expand were thwarted time and time again. Most people in your position rush for T3 bots to try push out. Your massing of bombers was a VERY risky strategy because if it failed you had NOTHING to fall back on. Unfortunately it did fail but that was because your bombers lost their target. If this had not occured you would of had it bagged. Speedy upgrading of your mex was nice to see, but I do think you should of probably used it to push for t3. The one thing i could not understand was you built a very strong defensive line... At the back of your base. So by the time the enemy reached it all your factories had been killed. Bit pointless really.

Summary

A relatively one sided game but certainly proves the 'current' effectiveness of bombers. Nothing new to see here but worthy of a watch if you want to get a feel for cybran expansion on open palms.

Score 5/10

At that point i was extremely annoying about losing and was sulking. Last game of the day so why not just chatter a bit about what the hell were my bombers doing?

Good review but i believe you partly missed the point about the bombers and the ACU. It was no bug (at least not as far as i think) but i was able to turn my commander around, getting out of the bombing run. The bombers couldnt adjust their route fast enough, so they partly wasted a few runs.
If there was a bug, fine. I still felt happy dodging biggrin.gif

The "bug" i whined about was when all of my bombers started moving away from the commander, which pretty much lost it for me. It probably just was me losing line of sight to your Comm so all of the bombers went to attack something else.

Yeah, I watched from TrueRandom's perspective and there was just a split second where he lost sight on the commander and the bombers lost their target. I was also paying attention to the comm dancing and Ancient sorry, it was not what saved you cause pretty much all of the bombs hit before that.

He needed just one more run and thats when the bombers lost the target.
