I hate Yang!!!

There are so many nice things to do with him...
For example, after you infiltrate, get PBs on your own. Just have 5 bases making PBs and all the others sending crawlers there. Then, hit his biggest cities - The Hive first, and the Socialism Tunnels then. Now you'll get a small, puny looking Sheng-Yi.

Just thought I'd complete the thread jack with a pointless but humorous transliteration of "Cha Dawn" from Mandarin.

Cha = fairly common, could mean "tea" or "verify" or "fewer".

Dawn = no exact Mandarin equivalent, although "dun" (stoop or crouch) is close. "dan" (egg) is also close.

So Cha Dawn is actually that ethnic Chinese cuisinary delicacy - a tea egg!

Yum! Looking forward to cracking him open and eating his inner bits, etc.


Yang never gives me any problems in any game I play. The secret to my success is to render all such problems Pyrrhic by simply playing as no other faction except the Hive. Sure, the energy loss is a headache, but you'll never have to worry about being faced with a militant enemy you can't handle...

I like Yang. In my current game I started as Spartans on a small continent in the southern hemisphere. East of me I found the Peacekeepers on another small continent containing Garland Crater, and to the north the Hive covers us like a huge umbrella. Just north of the Hive the Gaians started out in the Monsoon Jungle, which lead to Deirdre becoming one cocky witch. Eventually she declared vendetta upon both me and Yang, while she made pacts with Peacekeepers, University, Believers and just recently, Morgan. After conquering the Peacekeepers I am able to fight a completely offensive war with all the other factions, since Yang shields my own continent and also gives me lots of units when I conquer the Monsoon Jungle. This is the second time I've had a successful pact with Yang, and I believe the key to his loyalty is to use Police State while conquering the bases of his enemies. It probably helped that I wasn't on his continent as well, which was also true the first time I had Yang as my pactmate.

But then again, Yang has been my arch enemy in two other games, so it just goes to show that he's a force to be reckoned with, unlike those Believers who never seem to get anywhere. I guess I'll have to play them next. Too bad their leader and her bases are so ugly. How do they build those rock cathedrals on the sea anyway?

They have to use something that floats - say, very small rocks.

Or witches...

technically that's not "chinese", it's cantonese. Just thought I should mention. Sorry about not being on-topic.



For obviuos (?) reason I like Yang and I alos like the way he behaves towards other. Even against me.... but like is one thing, I still kick his *ss.
