@Drex - yeah i know... I always get suckered into these theorycrafting talks... :p Until 1.04, if I'm LRM rushing, you better have Radiance. Any other cap ship (especially the slow mothership) is going down before it can contribute much. This is why your fleet will not work. You won't even get to really build up the mothership before it dies. Anyways, enough theorycrafting. I can demonstrate the LRM rush to you if you want. However, the game will change quite a bit after 1

[quote]you guys are forgetting that the advent are insane when a fleet is paired up with the mothership and the cruisers. They have an aura which causes ships to get hurt if they attack it. I personally thnk the advent is a formidible force especially when i have a fleet with 20 disicples and 20 illuminators, 10 desolace (or w/e its callled) cruisers and take out a fleet of 2 TEC battleships, 40 cobalts, 20, LRM, and 15 kodiak cruisers. Just looking at the stats zoomed out is crazy..the enemies

[quote]You cant use a suprise scenario for a balance issue. Thus, when the lrm rush comes, it's unlikely you'll have reached the critical mass for your defense vessels to really stop the lrms from killing your cap and structures then leaving. I could do the same thing on the advent side. secrely massing lots and lots of dronehosts with fighters and when he attacks he has no defense vessels. Which would look quite bad for him. that just doesnt say anything about unit balance. it

@bajong [quote]tihs is troll talk, absolutly untrue.[/quote] Before you go running off screaming "troll! troll!", You should actually learn the definition of the word in internet context. Also, ad hominem attacks (implying my post was created for the intent to troll) don't serve well to backup your arguments. [quote]hcs dont counter everything.[/quote] Let me be more specific then. HC's, with a small amount of support ships and flak, counter any other fleet

[quote]tihs is troll talk, absolutly untrue. LRMs are tech 2 thus advent has dronehosts but you need to got to iconus right away to defend the dronehosts against focus fire. Then it works. In 1.04 this doesnt matter anymore cause dronehosts can run circles away from lrms and btw: hcs dont counter everything.[/quote] Currently drone hosts are worthless when trying to kill a fleet or defend (they have their uses for raiding, though). All I'd do is build some flak to completely negate

[quote]I thought the original title was sufficient. Regardless for a change then how about:Active Established Clans[/quote] Recruiting != Active. We're active but not recruiting.

Actually, by throwing your ships into the loving embrace of the pirates, you're decreasing the bounty on your head.

@RedMaw Thanks for your testing. You've confirmed how I thought brilliance works, but Erres' post made me second guess myself and I haven't really had time to test it. My experience with brilliance has been that the larger your fleet, the more damage it does. This can only happen if the damage is propagated not just from the main target, but from all targets in the AOE as well. I remember one battle against the computer on unfair where 1 radiance and 1 mothership completely took out

Actually, I probably can't really make it before 9pm EST on any given workday. But I'm at the mercy of traffic. If you plan it 11pm EST on a workday, I shouldn't have a problem. Weekends are always much better though.

weekend works best for me. I don't want to be stressing out, trying to get through rush hour just to make it to the game.

You were never stuck with this. Moreover, you have the hubris to claim the "voice" of the entire community - without actually asking people's opinions. You decide things on your own but make it appear to be a community decision. Don't pretend the so called "responsibility" is a burden for you. You relish it.

The title is misleading. It should say "clans recognized by GE"

The problem is that cobalts + lrms counters anything Advent can produce, including disciples and defense vessels (obviously, i'm not taking into account HC's which counter everything - I'm simply talking early game)

[quote]Bubb9, I hope noone replies with a mentality that even resembles yours, what's the use of replies like #54 and #74? Are you actively trying to incite flame wars?Sorry for double post but this guy captures exactly why the super weapons and RA exist.Could you elaborate? Perhaps come up with some rebutals to my arguments against his? All you're doing to post statements with an attitude as if they are god given tautologies. Unless you post something with merit, I'll try (and hopefully be more

[quote]JinxOfSin is in the same clan as HuntingX? Mind blown.[/quote] We've been in the same clan since eZ was created. Before that I was in another clan which went inactive.

scouts are nice for rushing in and taking out their super expensive structure like novaliths... not so effective against RA because once you get your gates up, you have oodles of cash. I forgot to mention that HuntingX also had colonized the most planets so he really did have oodles of cash.

yes, that's how I do it (same with phase gates too)

Age of wonders was also a lot of fun. Didn't care much for the sequel though.

[quote]Oh really? They must have changed it since the last time I tried that trick... cool![/quote] you have to tell them one at a time. if you click the skill on the stack, they'll do it in turn. On our game vs innociv a month ago, I was screwing around with this tec for the first time.

[quote]If you assault the vasari player early on or better yet prevent him from getting enough worlds for 8 imperial labs you would know just how very very wrong you are...[/quote] There are so many things wrong with your assumption. Did you even read any of the previous posts or did you simply read the OP and immediately start your masturbation? 1 - A counter should never be "preventing them from getting it". That's admitting that it's a game ending technology. TEC and Adve

However, I do understand that reading comprehension is clearly a task too difficult for you so you continue to adhere to your pattern of spouting senseless drivel.

Regarding the April 2/08 game with GE The game minidumped and autosave and autoreplay didn't save ANYTHING for anybody. This has never happened to us before. SO, here's where we were standing at the time of the minidump [B]HuntingX[/B] had 10 phase and had a maxed fleet up to the 5th fleet. TEN PHASE GATES. He was maxed with enforcers, sentinels, and carriers. Obviously, he was number 1 in fleet. He was in the midst of assaulting their planets. [B]Astax[/B] had 15 kodi
