EDIT: Difficulty is changed to INSANE

What's the fastest you guys can completely anhilliate SM's on Dead Mans Crossing? I'd like to see a replay of anything below 15 minutes if you'd like to submit it, I think that would be cool and interesting.

I was playing around today using the latest build and destroyed them in about 19 minutes, but watching the replay I see I could have pushed much sooner...so I'm working on that.

Let's see the fastest time! (difficulty harder, of course).

Bah ! Speed contest to slaughter AI as if its a piece of meat to devoure. Tasteless, Oozish, tasteless :-) !

[oozish]

HEHE. Well, it's a fun slant when all you do is play the same maps day after day.

And now a more fair contest. How quick can you defeat AI on same setting WITHOUT selecting specific targets (squads/buildings), just by moving your squads and selecting stances ?

[thudo]

Exactly.. play fair guys until WA *hopefully* allows things like "focus fire" and other nicities. AI is your friend BUT he's still a wee retarded. He need better brain. Brain = Goooooood! <tHunK!>

Very nice Excedrin, I had a feeling you'd turn in a very fast time! And I was right...will watch these this afternoon, I"m really looking forward to it. So was this on harder or insane?

The other two were on harder.

With no targeting (purely move and attack move) against harder:

14:27 on insane! SM SM

http://www.flypictur...one&id=q9zxm6o=

I did this differently than Excedrin too, more of a tech build still but pushing out quickly with troops is def. the way to go. Still could have pushed it faster if I didn't hold back so much...

Looks like SM Vs SM 12:20/Insane is the time to beat.

[oozish]

ouch, that 12:20 has got me beat, I can't seem to get below the 14 minute mark...doh!

HOLY!
Man, what a super scout rush! I was thinking something of the same tactic but I just never scout rush once I get playing.

Question: why not have the SM's in cc vs. the building wouldn't they do more damage that way?

Edited by oozish, 02 September 2005 - 01:50 PM.

[thudo]

Guys are juggernauts! Have mercy on the AI for it know not what it do - it still need good brain.

[Excedrin]

They do 3 dps in ranged and 2 dps in melee to building med. Melee does 1.625 dps to building high vs 3 dps ranged. It's only building low where melee has a 1.5 dps advantage over ranged.

[oozish]

u R a genuis!

regarding ASM's; are they worth it do you think? What is their cc damage vs. the standard marine? I would think they'd be alot better, but I don't know. I always tech them to meltabombs to make sure they can take down structures and I use them mainly for decapping fortified points and zipping around the map to decap.

oh that is so off topic..lol.

Anyway, I'll declar EXCEDRIN the Ultimate Winnah'! Great time most feared one!

http://dow.lerp.com/stats.html - should answer most of your questions about unit / squad stats. ASM are pretty good, their melee damage is definitely better than standard marines if you can micro them well, they can definitely turn the tables. The problem with them is that WOTE and plasma mass is so much easier to use that nobody makes ASM in competetive games (as far as I know).

ah, that's a shame! Such a cool unit.

[oozish]

Hey Excedrin, will you post a replay of Insane difficulty SM vs Chaos on Meeting of the Minds? I can't seem to best them on this map on insane, it's really driving me crazy. Holy crap I've never seen so many defilers and obliterators and...eww...I'm humbled.
