Starting to hate FFA because of the lag in this game. Good job izirayd, coming back from the ashes was fine for you :)

Ah i would have loved to play this... So sad...

I think a 2h cast might be a bit long. dont you think?

Well i would like a cast then :D

You can win like that dyth68, that's how izirayd had the comeback.

You seem to underestimate the trouble I was giving poor little izirayd, Kingstad. I was always thinking he was a bigger threat because I seriously thought you were dead and he took your spots.

UltraGodzilla was unfortunately caught in too much crossfire for too long early on. I may have spent too much time fighting izzy instead of contesting Forever south. And I never felt safe to eco because at 40 mins I became the man in the middle, unable to make moves in the direction I wanted to.

I can't cast this one with my current CPU...it's too laggy.
It was actually kind of sad that lagging in this match made some of us lose focus, at least from my end. Could have micro-managed things way much easier if these CPU problems won't be present :( (I have I5 6600K).

"They sell i9's now; my laptop with i7 was able to almost catch up."

:( will buy an I7 soon

I consider these things to be the same.

Also, i don't think Bertha counters Funnelweb in the superweapon defense scenario.

- A single 3k cost Funnelweb has 23k of shield. A 5k cost Bertha shoots a 2k projectile every 7 seconds. It will take the Bertha 11 shots to wear the Funnelweb enough to penetrate it on 12th. This will take 77 seconds. Meanwhile, it will take the shielded superweapon about 20 seconds to roflcook the Bertha.

- For each additional Bertha you deploy, the opponent can deploy a cheaper Funnelweb.

I guess something that did massive damage to all shields in area would work. Something like a really souped up shockley, or maybe a teleported / sneaked / ramp-thrown / etc emp-nuke tank. I guess the latter would mainly drain the shields by stunning them, which would cause total charge loss and some downtime.

Scylla being able to shoot Shockleys could be a credible threat to a funnelballed superweapon, but much less critically - since each FW would still stop three of these.

Hmmm. Something that could almost work is Reef.

A Reef disarm missile does 15000 disarm damage for 150 metal; this does 1/3 damage to shields, netting 5k per hit. This is actually two times better cost for damage than Shockley, which deals 30k->10k for 600m. 4 missiles from one Reef will drop a Funnelweb shield's charge below Eos/Scylla threshold, all from a mobile and cloakable platform.

The only thorn here is that Reef's missile has a laughable range of 900 (vs Scylla's 3000). This is actually lower than Lucifer and Cerberus, so the probability of the Reef living to fire 4 * numberOfFunnelwebs missiles from this range is pretty slim. How about buffing it by 233% to match Scylla?

quote: Eventually making units pick what kind of bullets/missile to produce will solve some unbalance problems.

I fear that would introduce just as many problems. One of my pipe dream concepts for Reef though is it being able to choose different types of drones.

quote: it's just disarming...not stun

Disarm is equal to stun for statics. Even merely Scylla-range Reef will probably see use on land maps as a lobster-assisted mobile platform for stunning antinukes.

I think this is okay. :P

+1 to the idea of reef missile range buff, maybe not quite that far but nobody ever uses the darn thing so
