This is by far the worst replay I have ever seen. Almost an hour goes by with almost no attacks (seriously, almost none). It's like a meeting for hard core turtlers. Ones that can't play either.
Dumbest move awards: 4. Blue, for making and upgrading 8 land factories to T3. Try assisted production my good man. 3. Orange, for building a wall around his base, then adding all the important things (like T3 power +fab) outside it. WTF!! 2. Black, for doing pretty much nothing, then making a GC and leaving it there to do almost nothing for 30 mins ATTACK YOU PU$$Y!!!. 1. Green. This guy actually made some cool defenses. then...did nothing. in the time he had, he could have made about 10 spiderbots and spammed with them. he was the most useless player. At least the others made a lame hearted effort to attack afterall. I will never forget how lame this was, if any of these players were my team mates, i would just quit and take it as a loss.
After 1 hour i just couldn't take it anymore... please...never do this again...
Sorry about the length, but this game is so full of mistakes its enough to make you cry. I had to cut down on this, and just took a few of the ones I could see.
Think of all the mistakes you've made in supcom. Remember that time you forgot to build nuke defences? Or that time you left gaping holes in your air defence? Or even the one where you sent your GC wandering around your base instead of using i to attack your opponents? Oh wait, that probably never happened to you.
But all these mistakes and more await. Read on.
Yellow At one stage I noticed him using a t1 radar in his base. But rather than upgrading it, he decides to build a t2 one further away! Mad. At about the 11 minute mark he sent in bombers, but chose to attack 1 mex, instead of the bunched up pgens. Also, he had a tendency to send in very small numbers of units early on, just to get them shot to pieces. This has been mentioned before, but his walls. Why did he leave the front wide open? Any attacking force could have just wandered straight in and destroyed him, and he'd have cornered himself. When blue wasted his fighters at 37 minutes, his base was open for yellows 2 ambassadors to wipe out his pgens completely, leaving him tied up trying to fix his economy. Yellow decided to send them in, although god knows what for, since they seemed to be headed right for nothing. They got shot down, and he lost his chance to cripple blue.
Dark Red Early on looked like he wanted to attack, but was scared of losing his units. If he'd have pushed forwards he would have had more of an advantage. At about 25 minutes, he started to move his army towards green. After he lost 1 aurora tank to an arty shell, he retreated. Pathetic. He built up good defences at his expansion, but thats it. No factories. Meaning all his units were coming from only 2 of each factory at his base When yellows being attacked up in the north, he sends his men to help!WTF?? Yellow was clearly wiping them out without trouble, so why not use your army to attack the enemy, instead of wasting time like that? Also, his army arrived just as the place was being shelled by scathis. If he'd used his army to simply attack the scathis, the men he lost would have been worth it. The shelling stops, blues army arrives, and he retreats! This guys inability to command amazes me. He doesn't even use his gc to attack the enemy base whils their army is occupied. Unbelieveable. His GC is under fire from scathis, and so he leads it back to his base!! Any shots missing the GC are sure to hit surrounding buildings, taking out his underdeveloped front line defences anyway.
Blue Why did blue upgrade his land factory to t3 before building any offensive units? If he had been attacked, he'd have been wiped out in seconds. Minimal defences in early stages, leaving him wide open for attack. When he started building sams, he focused on building them all around 1 mex at the back of his base, leaving solely 1 to guard the rest of the base! His t3pgens and fab were wide open for an assault. A few bombers with scouts to throw them off, a few interceptors to deal with his, and he could have seriously suffered. At 37 minutes, he left his base open to arial assault by throwing all of his fighters pointlessly at the enemy, and not bothering to build aa.
Green Why did he decide to just defend the main entrance to his base, without attempting to use some of his units to attack his enemy? He could have made more units, and advanced on red expansion position. Refusing to attack (at all) is stupid. His frontal defences looked formidable. But if you notice, no aa. Only 3 tracers are guarding the front of his base for an extremely long time, leaving him very vulnerable. Once the first nuke landed next to his commander, and he survived, you'd think he may try to defend himself. Nope, he just stands there like a goon. Costs him. He dies.
Overall All of them were more concerned with teching up than attacking. Even then, it took them far too long to do so. A good example was blues lack of offensive units and then teching up. Yellow was similar. In his northern expansion base, he teched up before trying to attack. All of them seemed scared of tech 1 units, and wanted to get siege bots and experimental only. A lot of the early mistakes didn't cost them too much simply because the enemy didn't exploit them. Finally, no nuke defences essentially screams kill me, which is what happened to 2 commanders. If you have time to build nukes, you have time to build nuke defences. I watched this replay to see if it was that bad. To see if it deserves worst replay ever. It really is that bad. And it does.
A very generous 1/10.
