Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

I'll be happy to tell you how I did it, as I love a sporting match, better than any.. Shoot me an email or a PM with your email addy. I love to have a little post-game wrap up..

It was a good game, though.

And now it gets interesting. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

1FSTCAT faces Stonemill in a second mid level game. I spoke too early when I said that the winner of the Phoenix-D/Preacherman game faces me for the first KOTH title.

Since we now have another mid-level game, whichever game gets finished first the winner faces me. Speed is of the essence.

1FSTCAT is a very dangerous player. This match should be interesting. We had legendary clashes and a long war in the Homecoming PBW game. When I saw his name, it was like an old arch enemy reappearing who knows something of your game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Look forward to this one.

As for debriefs, I also enjoy this very much, and I know 1FSTCAT is a class act. I just had a debrief with Pablo after our game. I don't mind at all about perhaps offering some helpful suggestions to other players. Other players have have helped me, and I would not be very good at all without learning from better players.

Gandalph, don't get too frustrated. There are some very annoying things about this game that you need to pick up or get used to. Things that are NOT obvious, unless through experience.

I still make stupid mistakes (like forgetting to change ship strategies) and curse out loud because of it.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Heh. Who wants to lay odds that there will be a KOTH crowned by Christmas? I feel certain there will be one by New Year's....

Hopefully I'll be able to join in the fun after New Year's, even though (a) I suck royally at mano-a-mano and (b) everyone else will have learned a bit by already going through the wringer. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

What do you think of this? The KOTH is invited to create a Strategy Article (we can start a new thread, maybe with a Sticky). Only those who achieve the status of KOTH can contribute. Of course, anyone may add questions or comments, but the article should be something of an official dissertation.

This article should go beyond FAQ or basic tips, and should discuss a particular part of the game and how they play it. It should be written for the benefit of the SEIV community, and should be looked upon as perhaps a duty of being a King.

I've seen this done before in other gaming threads, and it is just splendid. Articles have a wide range, and can be a topic close to your heart (fighting tactics, expansion and growth, building your economy, best defense, etc...)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I think it is more curiousity than frustration, and this damn game has me hooked anyway. I learned to play chess by getting beat all the time by my brothers and father, I eventually started winning games. I think the same will apply here. I did make some mistakes, like losing a fleet to mines when I knew he had them, TWICE!!

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

Stonemill, IMHO the losers could probably tell you more in the article than the winners. I always learn more in games I lose.
