Thunderdome Deathmatch Challenge Series - players wanted

[H0bbes]

I have heard nothing from VJ yet. If its going to take this long all the time I quit now.

Sorry for the delay. First turn sent to Hobbes. We should have good turn-around, but I probably won't get more than one turn per day very often... Take a valium, mate! I just got it yesterday.

Cando. It's a 2-player set-up, so if there is another wanting a piece of you, I'll arrange the game

I am in the process of setting up a game for knowhow2 versus JohnPaulJones. Want to set up a Buster/big_canuck one at the same time?

Sorry - but I never heard of these games till now.

I like one on ones - at least theyre usually fast.

Only I have a sort of love/hate relationship with Hive - Hive sucks at most advanced aspect of the game, so if one is not squarely sitting on the game before output restricters get lifted one is usually chasing the dust of the rest.

On the other hand they are great for not getting too badly mutilated early on as they have their perimeter and their production & support.

Anyway - it sounds like that may be a key requirement here and that a lot of AI bashing will come before the two players get to deal with each other.

Not knowing the set-up except from description it gets sort of a gamble. Probably won't learn much but it might be fun.

I am in for a Hive if Canuk is still interested.

[big_canuk]

Sure, set us up. I've never played spartan MP, so it will be a learning experience for me. Any do's of don't's from Spartan MP vetreans?

They are not that different - except can't go wealth - This puts knowledgde somewhat higher on the list. The morale benefit is nice - especially if one can get elite units, just remember that elite gotten through SE (fundy or power) will go back to commando or lower when you switch away from that SE. Morale boosting facilities or SPs are better.

Pod popping is not quite so hazardous, but you can still be unlucky and loose an undamaged unit to a worm.

Can be played as builders with an industri handicap (=even more crawlers & energy needed as rush builds gets more expensive).
Guess you just need to apply doctrine production+ .

Free proto and stronger units are nice - but its not a major difference as proto still needs to built (rush buying it or upgrading without a built proto is still carrying serious overprice).
