Nice start from Superior, I like the way he shot out with a couple of hunters and a mole - time for an early morning raid!
Uriel had the same idea, unfortunately, he just didn't execute it in time.
These two were well matched, and while the main battle was going on with their T1 assault bots/tanks both players made a strong effort to attack each others economies. Both players reacted well to each others moves. If I didn't know better, I'd say I was watching clones, both players deployed the same tactics and made use of the equivalent units for each faction. It's a shame it didn't last longer.
7.5 (It'd be higher - but the game ended before I could see some good strategy. I look forward to future battles between you two.)
Game length - 15mins --------------------------------------------
Game Summary:
A game played between friends, starts quite even and continues with the initial expansion and skirmish around the mass points. While SuperiorX shows the cybran early game advantage while pushing and holding down uriel's expansion, uriel is able to stand up and launches counter attack with commander as support!
SuperiorX
+ Sent mole with hunters - running blind helps nobody! + Pushing the left flank with your commander was nice + Strong economy for the whole game - though you had over 800+ energy, and lacked mass, you didn't build any fabricators, even few might have helped
- Tech up? Couple of those mobile missile launchers might have been good idea. - Radar?
Quite solid play, not many mistakes there.
uriel
+ Reclaiming resources in your starting position + Strong offensive push with your commander as support - you did right not to waste your units one by one against his comm & defense - Your beginning build order sucked - use of a 'move' command will help in cases like that, since then commander will use the nanolathe from further away. - You let his engineer finish that t1 land factory, while you had tank shooting at the factory, if you only had destroyed the engineer :|
A bit of struggling the beginning, but you got on your feet and started fighting! Though you were behind in mass you were able to push out a quite effective counter attack.
Game Rating - 5/10

A war of atrition both of as used commies for offense it yielded good results and in turn made it a very close game.
Considering that we are m8s we sure didnt have our palms open but clenched fists of t1 units.
