You're asking for replays of Kruelgor playing? You don't want to learn from him..

Because of the damage and armor types. And flak dps is split up between 4 guns, arranged on all sides, 90 degree firing arcs. So you have to get all 4 guns firing for them to do their max dps.. usually 2-3 will, or only 1 if yu have them sitting back facing off at the enemy. LRMs have an overpowered damage type with their high dps. Flak dps is high, but it's split to 4 guns, and it's damage type is the worst there is.

Really? Kortuls mana burn is the only thing that gives me much trouble with Antorak, so i guess i expected it to work fine against Embargo. It might not stop the first embargo, but it should drain it from doing 2nd and more.

Kill phase stabilizers. And tec eco-spam is pretty much equal to RA. Get tec up, make lots of frigate factories close by your enemys planets, and set rally point there, pump out units. Just build them faster than they get killed. =]

[quote]As far as sieing goes though, the marza is hands down the best in the game. A marza with level 2 raze planet can crush any planet with ease. It might not seem like much but it's very effective at stealing planets from your enemy.That's why it doesn't really deserve higher overall DPS than battleship caps.Siege caps should have good front DPS but not enough to obliterate battleships with such ease.[/quote] You make a horrible argument. What about other cap ships abilities

The Vasari Vulkoras works about as well for sieging planets. Raze planet is just much more dramatic because it's a spike. Vulkoras gives more DPS. Advent on the other hand.. they don't get mass hysteria until level 6.

I forgot to add it shouldn't push back so quickly. It should be a constant push for a few seconds, so people will keep the ability on so you can hurt them with am drains. It should be something like take 5-10 seconds to push back 8000 up to 10000 range, whatever it is. Say 10 seconds.. drain 5 am/sec. Push a constant amount as it's active, for up to that 10 seconds. Take 1.5 damage for each am lost (both from the drain of using the ability, and when am is drained any ot

Distortion field doesn't need a smaller AoE, it just needs to effect a max of 7 or 8 targets. [quote]LRM's don't outrange repel in 1.04, I believe.Now that would be a serious problem.[/quote] no it's not.. It was a problem when they DID. Repel needs to be correctly balanced, not have the one and only counter be javs. WHy should javs then be able to outrange it but not assailants or illums? All 3 lrms have different ranges. Like I said in my

lol what?.. Is this a joke? Targetting uplink increase chance to hit, not damage.

People are mad that people that know how to play better than they do beat them mostly. ;/ Cleansing Brilliance+Malice combo is a bit too good though.

I told you guys so on Marza long ago. ;p But it's not a balance issue. It has extremely weak side coverage and stuff. Their dps is all about the same, it's the spread of it. And that was a lvl 1 cap test.. Try lvl 3 kortul. Try Mothership when it has illums+malice against marza+lrms. Also, IIRC battleships get far more armor and dps PER LEVEL than siege caps do. WHy does the name battleship mean it should win 1vs1 against caps?

[quote] The only real problem is if Cobalts come, because Advent will always lack the very early Cobalt counter due to the tier and expense of the Illuminator and the mediocrity of the Disciple. I would rather sink the resources into an extra Temple of Hostility and do Illuminators than spend time with Drone Hosts. They just cost too much and do too little damage to repel any real attack before a Sova arrives.But to each his own, I guess.[/quote] Actually disciples will beat cobalts c

I am.

yeah.. Assailants are really bad early game. All Vasari units are. :/ But they are the best late game, especially for dropping caps, as phase missiles give ~+70% damage increase. Way more when you add in subverter's lowering mitigation and increasing phase missile pass through.

He thinks they are, but he's wrong. Also, Hard comps aren't hard... You are intended to be playing against 7 unfair hard ai's it seems, not just one. I could beat hard AI by spamming flaks or scouts. I've played more than 500 hours online..

Right.. Illums cost as much as TWO flaks, nearly. Nearly two flaks counter illums perfectly fine. But you're right, the nerf to flaks dmg vs. lrms does hurt when those lrms are in repair bays. And it hurts killing them before they kill those mil labs or factories allowing you to make flaks. The exception is sentinels though.. they cost nearly as much as illums and do so bad early game. :x But then late game their charged missiles are better than the others.

Erm, well he's one of the top players. If he didn't say so the devs might not otherwise know his "credentials". No insult to anyone, but I'm quite sure if we had a match against the devs that we would win is what he was saying. I'd imagine they understand that too. The devs surely understand how their game is coded and put together far better than us, but we understand how it's [I]played[/I].

Kruel, they DO do that.. but they aren't accurate.

Illums aren't over powered.

Aye I was thinking the same thing.. this would be incredibly nice.

Set their move orders so that they won't chase things.

Flak costs half as much as illums.. counters them fine. Christ. You're totally forgetting that Illums cost 380/60/55. Javs are only 275/45/25. I'm sorry you lost, but in these cases it's not the games fault. And like TheRedMaw said, the biggest issues are how LRM and Heavy Cruisers are the only important things(With the exception of overpowered distortion field[needs to effect max of 7 or 8 targets], and repulsion[works improperly with it's am drain and pulsed p

yeah well.. your math and playing ability fails if you think illums are overpowered and draw those conclusions. Sorry to embarrass ya', but I'm tired of all the newbies reading dumb posts like those and believe them, and then they start saying them like they're true. Blinding leading blind, etc.

4x higher resolution ones... like I just said the post above yours.

Bump.
