Since we got derailed by the trolls for half the thread, I would like to get back on topic. I think the Vasari early game is very unbalanced. Their frigates are considerably worse than any other faction, and the only viable starting cap is the egg. The only reason they don't get steamrolled every game is due to the oh-so obvious crutch, their starbase. So perhaps in the next patch Ironclad could buff their frigates and nerf the starbase? Perhaps doubling SB research or moving it to tier 3

If you get any titan to level 6 the game is pretty much over anyway...
[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="16" id="3451364"]I'd go with desperation and micro jump at first unless you are hitting pirates (then go desperation and hull)...whether you do AM upgrades on this thing or not is up to debate -- personally I would go with 2 AM upgrades so you can micro jump and move around the map easier, but since the main titan ability is passive this could be seen as a waste...you really could go with any 2 of the passive upgrades...<span style="color: #000000; backg
I enjoy starcraft 2's custom games more than I do its actual multiplayer.
Try uploading a replay so we can see what you are doing wrong. Normally spamming light frigates is enough to get you through hard AI.
^Trolls gotta troll.
If you ever get hull upgrades on first ankylon level you are an idiot... TEC armor/HP upgrades are incredibly cheap and you should be researching that when you build a titan.
The more i look at KSSSWM's chart the more I realize this is a cleverly disguised troll thread. I mean, he only gets one out of the three abilities but stacks up on antimatter??? No scattershot and explosive shot combo? Hull upgrades on ankylon? LOL.
[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="42" id="3451288"] Do you know the Muffin Man?[/quote] And this thread devolves into a troll thread... Thanks Seleuceia.
LMFAO? You butthurt? Anybody who is not blind can clearly see it was cyberchase who wrote it, since i responded right below him. The forum quoting system is prone to bugs sometimes and this is one of them. Cry more man seriously. Why you would even care about such a trivial matter is beyond me. Dont take offense when none was meant.
^Ahahaha...
[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="11" id="3451083"]I have dodged no such point made by you[/quote] I count at least 4 threads where you dodged my responses. I tried reading the rest of that post Seleuceia but too many run on sentences hurt my brain and prevented me from comprehending it. Perhaps if you replaced all your ellipses with periods people could read it better.
[quote who="WOEaintME" reply="38" id="3451080"]Can you please explain, at least in general terms, what you're supposed to do when micro-ing flak late-game? It seems like you'd need the flak close to the ships you're defending from fighters (your caps, your titan)--which are also likely to be exactly where the enemy AoE's are targeted. [/quote] Well thats what the entire late or even early/mid game is about; carefully microing your ships so that they are closest to
New trailer!!! So pumped. Hopefully the show's treatment of Stannis will improve this season... [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkKYEzmR92A[/video]
^Keep dodging and trolling there buddy. edit: Well it seems i was unnecessarily harsh to uncrustable in one of my earlier posts.
Wtf dude? In the context of your post and this entire thread we were clearly talking about AM upgrade vs ability upgrade. On one hand the former makes the antimatter pool bigger and reduces cooldowns for all abilities while the latter buffs each ability drastically. Maybe its you who needs to learn how to read. And classic dodging by Sel, not even bothering to acknowledge my point about chastic burst. It doesnt come as a surprise though, seeing how he dodged in a similiar fashion in t
[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="7" id="3451034"] What would you rather have, chastic burst 10% more often or 15% more base damage? I know what I'd pick.... [/quote] *Checks wiki for chastic burst numbers* *Sees it progressing from 500 damage to 715, an increase of 43%* *Shakes head at being trolled by Seleuceia again* And dude, would it trouble you to use at least one period? Lol.
[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="77" id="3449652"] I've actually tried to see if any players were interested in testing it....so far no takers...[/quote] Strange how you didnt ask me, the CREATOR of this thread and also the one who is online the most.
Putting points into abilities directly also reduces cooldown so that is a moot point...
[quote who="Ryat" reply="3" id="3451010"] Scatter shot to the face then pop an explosive shot in the middle[/quote] I couldnt help laughing at that one...
LOL carpet. I just discovered this hilarious thread. How you have the stamina to defend a troll post with more 12 pages worth of paragraphs is truly amazing.
There is no "right" way that you should upgrade titans. Like cap abilities, it is situational, meaning you need to take into account other peoples skill level and what is actually going on in the game itself. For example, you might choose to get explosive shot instead of scatter on the 1st level if theres alot of light frigates still in the game. That being said, idk why you would choose to ever get AM because i have more than enough after i get past level 2. It is puzzling you dont put at le
I've actually found that AIs are more than adequate replacements, even surpassing some humans in skill. For example, if somebody drops at the beginning of the match, the ai gains a ridicolous income bonus that causes them to sometimes surpass the ecos income level. They can even have HCs up and ready in sub 40 minutes...
[quote who="Teun-A-Roonius" reply="26" id="3450459"] Can't wait for the 1v1 between Sel and Sinkiller! *Grabs popcorn.*[/quote] Even Sel has to admit Im more skilled than him.
[quote who="WOEaintME" reply="21" id="3450182"]Well I've found three great quotes questioning Sel's online presence so he must not play online[/quote] You think it's just a coincidence that all these multiplayer regulars think Sel doesn't play online? There is no conspiracy here. Sel doesn't do ICO. There is no nothing wrong with that, its just he should stop pretending like he does.
