As "rushed" as I can get it

from Sins Forums
I've posted the first replay of rokkitlauncher and I in action as a team. This game was over in 46 min after we both decided to push hard early. For a 2v2 that's not bad.

I will let rokkit report his side of the battle if he wishes.

Essentially for me the plan was to forego early civilian research if possible in favour of faster expansion and infrastructure, then to build an upgraded fleet for taking out caps.

After taking a few planets without many losses I decided to push at redlab and remove his cap from the equation. He managed to escape, and my pursuit, though unsuccessful, cost me a few frigs. Following this I built up a fleet mainly of cobalts and krosovs to take out his newly acquired ice planet, supported by two shiny new light factories at my nearby desert planet. With the help of some mercenary pirates I managed to take out 2 caps and most of redlabs fleet, at which point the game was conceded, presumably as redlab had very little to prevent the inevitable siege.

Feedback/criticism from players at any level is welcome :P

i didn't go into the game with an all out rush plan, but what i did want to do was to get a planet midway between me and my opponent, and then try regular skirmishes into their land, so that the pressure is always on my opponent.
a lot of pirates were attacking redlab, but this was good teamplay on our end as Conan said he thought he could do some damage and wanted me to put all my extra gold on him throughout the game. after that my plan wasnt to kill, but just to make sure 99 couldnt get himself broadcast towers up as i had quite a few myself by the time emperor quit

No shame in conceding so long as the decisive battle has been fought :)

yes, it looked as tho it was over on that front emperor, and i was about to kill 99 with culture. if the pirates were annoying you, you should have tryed putting bounty on us, we had 0 on our heads all game.

emperor, try to get that guy on your team who you have won 90% of the games with

Emperor redlabs blunder was that he was really slow to colonize, 3 planets including his HW at 30 minutes.

BTW this is Dutch from the chat, i think redlab means me with whom he plays?

Nice rush all in all, but if red had expanded faster he would have given atleast a better fight, also him and 99 didnt communicate at all.
