bmoeller Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I personally think its the people that rush your base with 10 to 15 small tanks within the first few minutes. yes it is a viable strategy, but its also a lame one that takes absolutely no skills. Build a couple war factories and kick small tanks out is the full extent of their gaming skills. 9 Out of 10 times if you stop this rush they will abort the game because that was their entire bag of tricks.

amokk Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 then 9 out of 10 times you win IMHO the lamest type of player is the one who whines about how others play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zjorz Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The lamest type of player is the one that wants to build a base and doest attack. Please play skirmish if you want to sim city your base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3M Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I lolled at the sim citying the base. What about those who beg you to stop attacking them? I encountered plenty of those in the ancient past. Are there still of those around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djjammin1337 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 i think basewalking is lame... while anything is a "viable tactic" i very much doubt that base walking was at the forefront of the developers' mind when making RA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amokk Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 It you want to call it that. I take it your one of those skilled players i misspoke. I want to call it being intolerant , but that would be intolerant of me one of the really foul smelling cheeses compliments your whine,....

Nyerguds Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The lamest type of player is the one that wants to build a base and doest attack. Please play skirmish if you want to sim city your base Why? I'd see that as a challenge. Finding weakness in their turtling, or just bleeding their resources dry. Heck, I once played a game where my opponent thought it'd be fun if I would just let him build a gigantic armoured base while leaving each other alone and then I'd have to try to actually conquer it. Realistically, he wasn't even trying to win. Sometimes the point is not to win, but just to have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3M Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Well, I agree with having fun when dealing with a turtler. However, Sim City base means actually a good looking base with walls around etc. Like how most bases where designed in TD. Nice wall around even if there are cliffs, with 2 turrets in front of an entrance and 2 obelisks in the back with 2 sam site's. It looks good, but takes time and well, is destroyed in an instant.

Yeah you are right. I mean players that want to build a good looking base. Turtling is a strategy so this is no problem. I mostly mean players that want to play like a campaign mission. Building good looking bases surrounded by wall, attacking with a small group of tanks, etc. Most of the time these players get mad when you dont do the same :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amokk Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Sometimes the point is not to win, but just to have fun. for some it is fun to win for some it is just to have fun..... sometimes you are discussing with or playing against one who thinks the other way.. well said Nyerguds you must have a long white beard and a sage hat and be 103 years old.. oooops, you must have a green glowing face..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonizer Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 10-15 tanks isn't a rush. Real men fight with 4-6 tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 i won my first games when someone told me to make 5 tanks on a standard map or 7 tanks on a money map and then just attack Good players know how to stop these rushes tho, so i cannot suggest anyone to play like this (thats what people call jewing in red alert) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah! In TS, maybe, where building walls is like, ten times faster, but in TD? No, that's indeed utterly useless. I only use walls in choke points there, and to reinforce my Obelisks/AGTs well said Nyerguds you must have a long white beard and a sage hat and be 103 years old.. oooops, you must have a green glowing face..lol Right.

lemonizer Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Surely the lamest player is one who picks a map with rules edits. No power and all 8 teslas firing. I call that bolooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VamPyroX Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The lamest type of player is the one that wants to build a base and doest attack. Please play skirmish if you want to sim city your base I admit that I've done that once. I played skirmish and managed to trap a harvester while killing everyone else. With no more threats, I took my time to build a NOD city. After I got bored, I created a bunch of soldiers and had them all group up into a specific location. Then I launched a nuclear rocket right in the middle as I watched them all burn to death. After I got bored again, I created a bunch of flamethrowers and had them all walk together through a huge tiberium patch. As soon as the first guy died, he torched the rest of the team. Yeah... I was bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
