Happy New Year!
Still hung up on the Cyber General? Me too! How can you not be, with all the possibilities of drone warfare?
So I have been messing with Insane GLA generals lately (computer AIs) and it occurred to me that they are just not very good at defending against Medusa drones. This has led me to believe that the following scenario is possible:
Cyber General (you) vs. 7 Insane Computers (all allied against you, all GLA)
Rules: you can only attack with Medusa drones and forward-built defense towers, and only use Microwave tanks for support. You may use rangers to take over oil-wells and enemy buildings, but they must act in self-defense and cannot be part of a forward thrust-attack (ok, so this is a bit of a grey area...)
Yes, you can use general powers, including calling down cyborg commandos. They can be used for attack, GLA likes to light those guys up anyway...
So what do you think, can you beat 7 AI's like this?
I tried with 3 AI's yesterday and it's a long, long game, but possible*. In the end, it was 6 Cyborg Commando's cleaning out a GLA Stealth base. At that point, it's not so much a Medusa/Microwave tank game anymore, but I had used it pretty well against the other AIs.
If it's possible or not, your statistics will be amazing in the end, like a 20:2000 lost/killed ratio.
I am going to try 5 AIs tonight and will be back.
*remember to save, because the game may crash

Check out this little bug...

This is from a game I played last night versus 3 computers. There are 3 pictures here, as follows:
Picture 1:
As you can see, we have an airfield built into a supply drop built into a supply depot! When I destroyed it, the computer actually rebuilt it like that one more time, only that it also added a reactor on top of that as well. Very strange thing, I have never seen that before.
Picture 2:
This part of the wall appears to be occupied by the computer. I don't know how or when it happened, the replay only shows it as being occupied at some point and then there it is.
Picture 3:
I am at the end of my game, and as you can see on the mini-map, there is nothing else left for me to attack except this piece of wall. So I hammered away at it with as many Fafnirs as would fit on the map, as well as particle cannons, but nothing put a dent in this wall.
Meanwhile, there was an unfinished reactor guess where? - right, in the middle of that supply pad that had previously the airfield built into it. Once I found that and destroyed it, I won the game.
Pretty weird, huh?
Small post script: the little green thing you see on the top left is a supply I left alive from the green computer so I could leach it for money. I killed that off but still did not win the game, that's when I started to assume that I needed to actually destroy the wall. Until that moment, I was just having fun with it...
