Once, near a River…
Once again (Read my first Battle Report), I rushed to a Stealth Generator.
My starting units were : An MCV, 3 Tick Tanks, 3 Rocket Infantry, 1 Cyborg, 1 Light Infantry and 1 Attack Cycle.
I ordered my MCV to separate from my other units, and immediately sent my Attack Cycle scouting.
My build orders were : Power Plant, Refinery, Hand of Nod, Power Plant, Radar, War Factory, Advadnced Power Plant + Artillery, Tech Center, Advancer Power Plant, Stealth Generator, Advanced Power Plant, Refinery.
Exactly when my Radar was ready, my Attack Cycle found a Wolverine and a few seconds later he encountered 3 Titans defending Pilgrim’s town. I went further into his base, and found a Wolverine and some Infantry (5 Light Infantry and 5 Disc Throwers, to be exact).
After my second Refinery was up and running, I started the construction of an Obelisk of Light to defend my base.
I saw a Crate near my base, and ordered one Rocket Infanrty to get it. He got promoted when he got the Crate.. Nice..
I scrolled over to his base and saw 4 Wolverines, a little bit of his Radar, rounded by walls.
I started the construction of 2 Artileries and an EMP Cannon, followed by a Missile Silo.
Another Harvester was working on my base, by the way.
I started to build another Stealth Generator, in order to make my base bigger.
I then saw a Mammoth Mk.II on his base… I wasn’t worried because I had a shock of Electro Magnetic Pulse ready and a Multi Missile one quarter ready.
I thought it would be a good idea having a Mammoth around, so after I had my new Stealth Generator, I built a Temple of Nod followed by a Mutant Hijacker. Now I was safe from the Mammoth.
I saw another Crate in the heart on my base, near my initial Stealth Generator.
I sent my promoted Rocket Infantry to get it. It contained a Multi Missile, but because I already had a Multi Missile about three quarters ready, the Crate didn’t help at all.
The I had my Multi Missile ready so I sent it into his War Factory and I left it with one red square of energy. Almost!!!!!!!!!!!
He attacked me with 4 Orca Bombers, and because I had only 3 Sams in my base, they managed to destroy a randomly targetted Hand of Nod.
I launched my Hunter Seeker and it killed about 5 soldiers at the entrance of his base.. Could be better but it’s ok.
By now I have another Stealth Generatot cloaking 3 Artilleries that are guarding my Harvesters. He attacked once again with Bombers and destroyed one Artillery..
I scrolled again to his base and found a Carry-All holding the Mammoth Mk.II . I prepared my EMP and my Mutant Hijacker.
He was slowly and carefully flying his Carry-All to my back-yard.
The moment it landed, I fired my Electro-Magnetic Pulse at the Mammoth Mk.II and sent my Mutant Hijacker to take over it, and it did, successfully.
The Mammoth was mine.
He Ion Cannoned my Constcruction Yard, leaving it severely damaged.
A Mobile Construction Vehicle came out of his War Factory, and went into the shrouded area.
I expanded my base a little bit and started to construct Helipads + Banshees until I had 5.
He sent some units to scout my base and discovered almost all of it.
Maybe it was a Hunter Seeker, or maybe an Ion Cannon, but the next thing I know, one of my Refineries is gone, leaving some Tiberium behind.. =(
I quickly rebuilt it and conrinued with the mission.
When I had mi Cluster Missile ready, I noticed that his Construction Yard was half damaged (Maybe from one of my Missiles), and I could destroy it with a well-placed Multi Missile.
So I did launch a Missile there, and I did destroy the Construction Yard. Although I was happy, I knew he had another Construction Yard somewhere..
I saw another Carry-All holding another Mammoth Mk.II, and flying it North (Maybe to his second base).
I forgot that we were playing with Harvester Truce on, and went with my Banshees to attack one of his Harvesters. Silly me.. I didn’t do any damage (Of course), and my Banshees were on yellow or red…
Bit I did get something from this attack : 2 SAMs from another base were firing at my Banshees.
I could see a Construction Yard, with walls around it, 2 SAMs, and a little bit of a Radar.
I quickly sneaked an Engineer into his secondary base. I knew I couldn’t get the CY so I got a Refinery and sold it, and I discovered 1 Titan, 1 Remote Propelled Granades device (RPG =), one Barracks, one Radar, one Carry-All & one Mammoth Mk.II.
When I sold the Refinery, some Light Infantry came out and I positioned them behind the Construction Yard(The CY was between my Infantry and his Mammoth), he wasn’t careful and his Mammoth shot at my soldiers, hitting his CY and almost destroying it!
He too forgot about the Harvester Truce, and attacked my Harvester with 6 Bombers, and my SAMs destroyed 2 of the Bombers.
I was getting pretty tired of the game.
I realized he had very light defence on his main base, so I sent my Mammoth Mk.II, followed by 4 Stealth Tanks, over to his base. My Mammoth Mk.II was attacked by about 6 Bombers, and died right after he left my base. My Stealth Tanks were not enough to destroy his base, so I just went in and tried to destroy whatever I could. While I was moving, I got a Crate “ Unit Firepower Upgraded “ . I got near his base, he detected me and send 2 Titans and 1 Wolverine. I killed those forces (Thanks to the crate) and I still had 2 Stealth Tanks and I sent them in his base and they died..
I simply sent my 5 Banshees to destroy his CY on the expansion, did destroy it, and returned to base with one damaged Banshee.
He sent his Bombers too to destroy my one and only CY, and he destroyed it.
I had $18,500 . Money wasn’t a problem, but time was. I had to go about 5 min after that. And I didn’t really wanna play anymore. I made a Mobile Construction Vehicle, deployed it in the middle of nowhere and I said :
”You won, nice game, Bye”
I really think I’d win if I would continue, but I just couldn’t.
I surrendered.
Lessons Learned :
- You don’t have to be very aggressive to win (Even though I lost..)
- Long games can get very boring.
- I am good at this. ( =)
I hope you’ve enjoyed this battle report. Except more of my work here in the next days.
Enjoy the pictures(I really hope so!).
Annihilator.
