Replying to v1.3larkin

Hmm..yeh, the AI still has it's issues, but...it's really come an extremely long way from the Relic AI, and it puts up a fairly good fight.

I know, I tend to like to amass a huge army so there isn't any surprises. Remember, it was this map where 1 walked into base ready to destroy it and I was met with about 5 defilers just sitting there and a tank! They pushed me out to the South, then also attacked my base from the East at the same time while defilers where bombing the crap out of me by their relic....eventually (rather quickly) they kicked my @ss. That was the last time I playe CHAOS on this map.

LOL, I guess that shook me up a little, haha; same with Eldar. the ai can really make a comeback so I make sure I'm more than ready I'm not playing for speed.

I did play some games on deadmans crossing for speed though, to see how fast I could overtake the ai. If you're ever interested in seeing that replay let me know because that's how I developed that forward base building strat.

It was a shame watching possessed standing right beside your plasma marines - doing nothing. Relic really fucked this up too. Btw you could have pushed and won much earlier. no need to let the AI get possessed/sorceror.

For Larking et al.: This is the best strat I've come up with vs. CHAOS on blood river vs. the AI. This strategy took some ai observing, but after enough playing on this map to observe the ai tendencies, you'll see how I tech and capture....this is about as quick and decisive victory vs. CHAOS on this map I've done without just rushing:

Thanks Excedrin - that would be very useful!

cool Excedrin!

I can host this (and future versions)... since it's released, I'll just put it up.

http://dow.lerp.com/...Mod_Install.exe

Having problems hosting it on flypicture.com where I normally do. Once its uploaded, it converts the damn filename to #s... Grrrrr! Need an alternative.

I also have no startmenu entry though the box is checked. Again due to language incompatibility. I suggest that Corsix tries to fix this for further releases AND makes the installer available to Thudo so we can release even while Corsix is on vacation ;-)

Oozish - yer results will be the basis that launches 1 major AI revision ! Or that wicked "nothing-but-teeth" avatar smile.. I guess its that time again boys and girls for another fab launch-a-rinos! C u on the other side!
