And that's what it is all about. When you are on the run, you do whatever it takes to stay in the game a little bit longer. Sometimes those desperate measures are enough to get you back on your feet, but probably not against these guys...

Raven actually took out a whole fleet of Marmel's ground forces crossing the water with his subs. Once you were gone he held us off for a little while but we eventually overwhelmed him.

Chubby · 05-29-2004, 04:29 PM

Doesn't count when I'm already toast

I was trying to get him to go after marm's capital to try and take him out while he was focused on attacking me. That's where all my troops were trying to go since I knew I couldn't fend off both of you.

Marmel · 05-29-2004, 05:32 PM

I put up double the defense around my capital this time anyway. The first time around, I had good defense there, but this time, I was stacked with SAM's and about 20 fighters circling the capital.

Raven · 05-29-2004, 09:56 PM

Chubby, I would have attacked his capital, but I didn't have enough ground forces, or planes.

I built up a sizeable navy, but was short on oil. The most I could do was take out Marmels ground forces while they were crossing the water to come after you.

By the time I got an army big enough to attack him, HR had already brought over his own ships, and I knew I'd be next.

Chubby · 05-29-2004, 11:13 PM

ahh,i knew you were short on oil. didn't know where your army was, i didn't have a huge one but started cranking up when they were chatting about invading (and not privately either heh)

Marmel · 05-30-2004, 08:16 PM

I wouldn't mind getting something going tonight. Contact me, or sign onto AIM or something.

Chief Rum · 05-30-2004, 08:22 PM

I plan on being on tonight, but I have to go out for a couple hours. I'll probably be baqck by 9 p.m. my time, but if you guys are already rolling, I understand.

CR

GoldenEagle · 05-30-2004, 08:32 PM

Damn I have to come up with $25.

GoldenEagle · 05-30-2004, 08:32 PM

Dola -

Does the game play more like Age of Empires or Civilization?

Much more like Age of Empires, in my opinion. There are some technology advances that seem to be a bit more like Civilization, but the whole "turn-based/real-time hybrid" hype is a load of crap to me. I don't really see anything turn-based in Rise of Nations at all. It's still a good game, though.

Chubby · 05-30-2004, 10:14 PM

the turn based part has to be the conquer the world scenarios.

Chubby · 05-30-2004, 10:15 PM

I'm up for playing tonight as well

Pumpy Tudors · 05-30-2004, 10:18 PM

The "Conquer the World" scenarios weren't in the original RoN game, were they? Weren't they added in the expansion? If that is correct, then I'm stumped, because people have bene calling this a turn-based/real-time hybrid since the original game was released.

Chubby · 05-30-2004, 10:46 PM

There was 1 conquer the world scenario in the original, the xp are MUCH better tho.

Marmel · 05-30-2004, 10:52 PM

We will be starting one up tonight when Chief Rum gets here...midnight EST hopefully.

HeavyReign · 05-31-2004, 01:58 AM

Chubby and I prevail again. We held off attacks from 3 others during the game and then slowly took them down one by one.

Chubby · 05-31-2004, 02:01 AM

HOORAY for the good guys! It was 3 vs 2 but the 2 prevailed!

Marmel · 05-31-2004, 02:33 AM

another one starting in a few minutes.

Marmel · 05-31-2004, 04:03 AM

I finally take HR down in Game 2 of the night, with a little help from Chief Rum.

HR and I had a crazy land battle since we were neighbors.

Chief Rum · 05-31-2004, 04:10 AM

Yeah, i was like this little gnat ont he other side of HR. He didn't bother but shoo at me a few times. The one time he turned to do a full swing at me, Marmel bit him in the ass.

CR

HeavyReign · 05-31-2004, 04:49 AM

So true. If I hadn't gone after CR, I would have had plenty of defense for Marmel's last attack.

Eilim · 05-31-2004, 12:07 PM

I have a Ventrillo(Voice coms) server that sees little action that I'd be happy to let you guys use during your game if your interested. While I ended up leaving the FPS clan it was originally intended for, I've had a blast using it during my weekly AoK matches.

You haven't heard smack talk until you've heard Brother(teamed with father) against Sister (teamed with husband) going at it in voice coms during a heated RTS battle.

If your interested let me know and I can set up a couple passworded rooms for you guys to use. It can handle up to 15 people I believe.

-Eilim

Marmel · 05-31-2004, 09:58 PM

Midnight game anyone?

Tekneek · 05-31-2004, 10:42 PM

Maybe. AIM me.

Chubby · 05-31-2004, 11:02 PM

can't tonight, still at the parents house

Tekneek · 06-01-2004, 08:45 AM

I got in on the second game. When somebody dropped off, we all voted on what to do and I chose "Replace with AI", which is what I think everybody else did. Right after the vote, I was told the game had ended and I won by conquest...although I wasn't even close.

Barkeep49 · 06-01-2004, 11:11 AM

If there is a game tonight I would love if we could start at 11 EDT as I would love to catch up on a little of my lost sleep

So that explains why your guys attacked me right after that. I was wondering why someone would attack with such a technology disadvantage.

Marmel · 06-01-2004, 08:48 PM

I'll see who is around for an 11pm game tonight.

Bsak will be joining the group tomorrow from what I hear. He is giving himself a day or so to get some practice in.

heybrad · 06-01-2004, 08:59 PM

I will be around tonight.

Pumpy Tudors · 06-01-2004, 10:24 PM

Oops, looks like I missed my chance again.

heybrad · 06-01-2004, 11:17 PM

Ok... I learned that I suck at this tonight. I also learned not to trust Marmel and Barkeep.

heybrad · 06-01-2004, 11:21 PM

Dola... is there anyway to watch the game after I've been eliminated?

Barkeep49 · 06-01-2004, 11:27 PM

Hey Marmel said outloud to attack you... I voted against it, it's just that I didn't say everything to everyone.

I'm annoyed because my internet decided to conk out tonight thus leaving Marmel on his own. Hopefully everything turned out ok.

Marmel · 06-01-2004, 11:50 PM

Hey, you were killing my men before we even went to war Brad!

Neuqua · 06-01-2004, 11:52 PM

Marmel, IM me the IP Address.. My Aim isn't working

Neuqua · 06-01-2004, 11:52 PM

it doesnt even show you on AIM Neuq.,

Marmel · 06-02-2004, 12:04 AM

last call for game 2w of the night.

Barkeep49 · 06-02-2004, 01:12 AM

I accidently quit out when Marmel dropped in the second game. This is what being tired does to me. I feel very foolish. Can't wait to hear how the game turns out.

Chubby · 06-02-2004, 01:25 AM

It didn't, we all got booted. We would have won tho

Marmel · 06-02-2004, 01:38 AM

Not a chance in hell. Neuq had colossus and I was fully equipped with military.

HeavyReign · 06-02-2004, 02:06 AM

Don't let anyone keep the Colossus. That should be the first thing you take out if the nation you are attacking has it. The +50 population advantage is huge later in the game.

Eilim · 06-02-2004, 02:46 AM

You guys should demo-record the games and post them for posterity. Actually I'd just love to watch some of the matches.

I think Marmel might still have the one where Chief Rum nuked his capital. He said he was going to save it.

Barkeep49 · 06-02-2004, 07:59 AM

I automatically record all my games so if someone is ever interested in seeing one that I play in I would be happy to send it to them.
