If you let a player build up such a force you deserve to lose

I don't get why people don't understand how Creator is aiming for more dynamic gameplay

He's basically given players to a incentive to leave their base position then to camp forever before a disconnect occurs and with no attacks happening other then bombers or superweapons.

[Therevenage]

the fact is vZH gave all the incentive you need to go out in attack , go on online check some expert replays on gamereplays.org/cnczerohour
Its all the proof you need vZH already did that.

Therevenge - if you ever played Contra multiplayer with good players, you will know that Contra system force players to go out and attack to get an upper hand. Camper, who got himself surrounded, would lose unless the attacking player is wasting his forces. Why? Because the rank-teching system change the style of play entirely. I've encountered countless strategies and tactics on Contra battlefield, which is mush more interesting than thousand games of vZH I played before in the past 7 years.

I don't like the build-time slowdown or the limiting economy (slowing the game down), but I'll try it and see if it works.

Send me to were the contra Multiplayer community is active the most ill see how "Good" they actually are.

I told him already, we talk in Machi a lot.

All we do is play online, SinglePlayer in RTS is one of the most boring things ever.

Nobody is really ever online and the last game i played was this weird guy from russia on dark crusade and as GLA he just built a Huge bunch of arty defenses , my only logical counter to that in vZH was to build a super weapon but seeing as the rank tier system got in the way that just isnt a possibly , he had a endless fortress of ARTILLARY defenses , what can i do to stop that?

a defensive structure should never be able to match its counter in battle

[dcesarec]

Join on hamachi to my Contra United networks (you have details on hamachi thread).And if you wanna intensive games wait for either me or Casojin to appear. There are other good players there too,but most of them had just start their online adventure.

First of all, it's Contra not ZH. So, you need a different way to counter such tactics. Artillery base def is much weaker than in 005. 4-5 tank rounds can easily kill it. If he camped in his base like that, you just expand and consolidate your army. Keep him contain and use some micro to punch a hole. If you're playing GLA, I suggest using Mortar strafing. Keep them moving. For China, go for tank and artillery support. Your tanks would draw enemy artillery (which would miss if you keep moving) while your artillery bombard those def sites. USA, you need some combination of aircraft and Humvee+TOW/Missile Defenders. If you're playing USA, you could have hit him hard from the beginning to gain upper hand. Check my strategy topic for more detail.

Inxdeed. Also do not think that one tank is important, you can go ahead and irritate the enemy by keep killing his palace when he tries to build it. I did that, he hated it, made him spend much money on rebuilding, and I had my XP to go to higher tiers.

[Therevenage]

hes on darkcrusade we are seperated by a river so i cant steamroll or anything , also dudes get online :ugg:

[Casojin]

Ah, I think it's called Final Crusade not Dark Crusade (which is an expansion for Dawn of War). In that tight map, you should rush or you would never been able to get across without giving your opponent lots of XP.
