Yes, I said it, shields are imba. That is my conclusion after this game.

Someone please review this game.



Yes, I am aware that at several points I ctrl Ked large numbers of my assets. I was at limit most of the game.


Yes, I am aware some of my troop movements or orders seem silly. However, I had to prepare to pretty well every possible attack he could attempt. I had 80% of the map under my control... that essentially means he only had to defend one zone, I had to defend many. Naturally it's going to look a bit hectic, that's because it is. frusty.gif


Review plx.


Edit: give me a break, I just cracked the BEST turtle there is!

my god that was no game, this was WAR!

I've rarely seen a victoury so hard fought, quality piece of labour. It's so tough cracking those multi layered shield bases, more so with all the firepower contained in them..

I bet you were happy when you saw those fabs and SCUs blowing up from your fatboy ^^

too bad you didnt get to finish with your nuke tongue.gif

The most infuriating point in that game... other than the massive shields... was when his MLs disappeared under fog and I couldn't shoot at them anymore... that was frighteningly.

His shields didn't stand up too well against a relatively meager number of T2 arty and a fatboy. I don't think this replay shows them as being imba.

I don't know, I had 8 artillery all firing in sink and I was barely able to destroyer the weakest of his shields.

And yeah, cybran's are the weakest shields in the game... and they took a whole fatboy to breach, that's insane.

exactly. cybran's have the worst shields in the game and it still stood up this well.

and the most disconcerting thing is that you were only able to crack it because of the fatboy. if the situation were reversed-- someone is assaulting someone with aeon or uef shields and you're playing as cybran, what can even be used to crack it?

Well if I were cybran I probably would have tried spamming Soul Rippers. Also, Cybran's Vipers and Loyalists are extremely strong, so I probably could have won the game with those alone.

And, if all else fails, a Scathis or two can really bring on the hurt... and from much further away than a fatboy.
