<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ha not likely!! I already got enough surprises Last game. After this discussion I'll be taking that too. Maybe when I get smacked down to the bottom of the hill I'll try that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I think you are probably right in this thread. I haven't played enough one on one games to know. I do know that not choosing 125/125 etc does not absolutly guarantee a loss as so many seem to be implying.

For what it's worth, David G's Last game he was a 100/100 scientist, and his opponnent was a 120/110/worker. Not 125/125 to be sure, but pretty compelling evidence that a deficency in those two stats is not a guarantee of defeat.

Of course if your mind is already made up on the basis of numerical comparisons then real world experience is not likely to influence your opinion much. But that's ok too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's like saying playing blackjack once you hit on a 19, drew a 2, and won. Compelling evidence that hitting on a 19 doesn't guarantee a loss. Of course it doesn't guarantee a loss, but it still isn't a very good idea.

Re: KOTH: Attack of the Clones
 

this whole thread means that 20/20/berserker is a default settings? I don't like it. I will ask my next opponent to play at least without berserker or reducing some other setings. This becomes not very interesting when the victory is defined by your starting position. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Just resurrecting this thread for reference.

I like the "must select racial tech" idea, I might see if my next oponant will play this rule next game...
