(put 3 guys on wood) definitely a good BO for 4 and over player maps, but try this at twisted lakes or other small map and you will surely fail  on small maps as E I usually start with: 6 rax 8 farm and it works pretty well
You definitely want a tower on smaller maps, agreed. I don't know if I would call twisted lakes a small map though. Personally I don't think it's a good map. It's so beasty in its layout.

I can't play for a couple of days, gonna re-install my computer and need to back up some things.
Striders (since it's beast I assume you mean Striders, Stalkers are a fallen flying unit) are invisible only as long as they aren't attacking (or aren't moving? I forget, I think attacking tho).
If he killed them while they weren't doing anything I guess he had a detector around? Like a phoenix, tower or seeker (seekers are invisible detectors), or maybe the dryad spell which I forgot the name of (it summons an invisble detector for a period of time, at a spot on the map).

To clarify: striders are invisible while not moving (they can attack freely and remain invisible, it's one of the beast strats to go fast striders and put 1-2 at the enemy gold line to obliterate workers until he gets detection - kinda like DT rush in SCBW).

nice to see that the first channel is filled hehe

Anyone feel like starting an AoX IRC channel? I'd idle in that shit 24/7.
|
I started up the IRC channel #armiesofexigo on quakenet.
Since we have more than 1 hamachi channel up, it would help if people came there so that we don't have too many game-willing people in both channels that can't find each other.
It also might help if people who go offline leave the hamachi channels (or people who created the channels kick out offline people) since I'm sure most people are too lazy to get on the IRC channel.

It would be cool if we could get some sort of mini community going where people can at least find games on a semi-consistent basis. The activity of TL-West maybe? lol
|
The problem is that the AoX community is too fragmented. Some people use MSN to keep in touch, some people use hamachi channels, some people use Gamespy Arcade (there seems to be a special edition AoX that was sold that works here while older versions don't). Some just don't know that other people play AoX at all. Keeping the community united became impossible after the common meeting places disappeared (like the EA server shut down and www.aoxtactics.com died). We will probably not get a TL-West amount of people in the channel. I think most people don't bother logging on to IRC.

I'll be on the hamachi server tonight. Msg me if anyone wants to play.
|
Ya it seems pretty obvious that hardly anyone plays. I just got overexcited when I saw a thread of people wanting to play. AoX obviously isn't as good as BW, but it's refreshing to play another RTS of decent quality. I've had more fun playing vs comps and remembering how the game plays than I have had on iccup in months.

You are a sick man. At least the comp on aox is a little smarter than in bw on a tactical level.
