Vindaloo....soooo close!

you can always just be a bastard and beat g66 the easy way.
steal a tank and pummel the ai's recyc.  or you could just start with furies or fountain :p

i just think that pf could beat g66 very easily, he knows all the standard units and counters, and all the bases have one or two weak points you can exploit.

Well, on many G66 maps there are things you could do that might take down the AI Rec fairly quickly, like sitting in the hills and mortoring the thing forever... or grabbing pumel and diving into the back door, assuming he doesn't already have a horde of Service Trucks sitting around it or a turret in the back door already...  

But where's the FUN in that?  G66 is for sadists, not serious Strat players...  

My favorite G66 story is on DunesII with Ice Rhino, an hour and dozens of attacks into the game we're just setting up D on our third pool when he goes "Bomber" in that quiet, polite, British accent of his.  I go "cool, toss it to me" when I hear "BUILDING, LOST...  POWER, LOST...  POWER, LOST...UNIT, LOST...UNIT, LOST...POWER, LOST...".

"Oh, you meant BOMBER!!!!!"  

darn Brits...  lol...

Thanks Av I needed a good laugh.

[PhoeniX-FlamE]

well, 1st go on normal:




need I say more?

[PhoeniX-FlamE]

insane:

So far, I don't see anything that proves you can beat G66 in under 20 mins. What I do see is that you have Heat rocket and a Bomber but it's what I don't see that counts as a win (Team Ugly Hoomans win).

And that's not even Vindaloo. Imo, Dunes 2 is kind of easy for G66.

[PhoeniX-FlamE]

bahhh
fine :p

[PhoeniX-FlamE]

about 50 mins, about 30 to lock em down in base, the only reason it took 20 mins to finish their base was cause it sais u can build (green) but once you get the relay you cant build there - doh

next time I'll just get a bomber asap and finish it, I tried being a smartass and gt walk them to death

[Bull Dog]

yo PF if you have a 1 ghz PC then why is you playing at 1024x768?

[PhoeniX-FlamE]

because I hate all other options? and look carefuly, 50 FPS - I'm suffering only on DC, since *mooo*

[Bull Dog]

Yep 50 FPS on a practicly empty battlefield.  Now through a big base in there and about 15 units..................

[PhoeniX-FlamE]

well, on HUGE , FULL & GIGANTIC bases I can drop to 10, usualy I'm above 20, mostly around 40

[APCs r evil]

HA! I just beat Vindaloo in 42 minutes and 32 seconds, I have a screenshot but I forgot to switch the radar to the overhead map... Although if you examine the 3d radar and compare it to Vindaloo from my position you will be able to prove that I was on Vindaloo, and yes, I did get a joiner, but he was only there for about 2 minutes before I won, and yes again, he DID take out the Forge, although I had just bombed it and had an APC about 30m away. I had Heat and 2 pools in about 10 minutes, I had 3 pools in about 15 minutes, and the Bomber in about 20 minutes. I used Heat Rockets in a Puma to take down most of the base defenses, then I called in a groupd of 7 APC's to finish off the Rec, they arrived right after I bombed it, pretty much the same thing happened with the Forge.

P.S. This was on Insane with myself starting in a stock ISDF Scout, I did not pick up the weapon at the weapon drop, and the AI had a scrap cheat of 3, and all the other advantages I could give them.

[PhoeniX-FlamE]

doh, go vs ISDF
rec last, no bombing or acping the rec unless *all* buildings are down :p
