Biggest battle?

[Sikgamer]

What is the biggest battle you've ever seen?
The biggest battle for me was back when WM didn't have melon limits, and barracks spawned infinite melons and for free, each player had around 100 barrack fighters each, and everyone sent them all to attack Green. Let's just say he had no chance. The explosion when the spawn point was killed almost crashed my computer!

What's your biggest battle?

[Omen]

My biggest battle is the lag..

else i haven't have many.. only 4 players that know how to play on the same time..

[devilmaypoop]

Well in the future there might be very huge battles because i just got into makin huge ships using more than 20 props.

[retroactive]

Myself and Kleenex, as well as some various gray faces just started a game on ogulation(sp?).

10 minutes into the game (Kleenex got a headstart on resources) said member annihilated my base. He did, however, leave me one cap point. 35 minutes later, just as he finished destroying the last opponent, I switched to green and used the spawn point to make a heavily fortified base. This base, of course, was covered in trains.

Kleenex, not realizing this while he steadily worked on his melon horse (trojan horse, get it?) would soon be suprised to find a melon strike crashing into his base, destroying half of his army, forcing him to spend NRG to build a new one.

With hope, I created some makeshift defense (2 cannons, 1 sniper and a medic) on the front of my base, whilst filling the inside with at least 15 medics to fend off the coming siege.

As the last sniper finished building, Kleenex's war machine strode up to the base, and lowered his ramp. Out came a hailstorm of melons, crashing at the base walls. My defense went down quick, and a defeated ally gave me his NRG. Naturally, I built more medics and out of view started producing bombs.

When he wasn't watching, I thrust my bomb at his troops 1 by 1, and eventually had the army down to half it's size. Of course, he had the advantage of cash, so they were replaced as quickly as they were destroyed.

This battle raged with tides turning every second for about 15-20 minutes. Eventually, I found out that he had been producing units at his main base and massed them for an all-or-nothing attack. My medics couldn't hold the wall, and I had not the cash to build more. The wall fell, and sadly, shortly, so did my spawn point.

We then said gg, changed map and I kicked his ass.

Nice story ^^ it's rare to see people with directly matching skills in this game

my best battle was me vs a regular and a newish player. I took the uplink rapidly and then called in a melon strike to slow my foes down. While they were busy attacking those few melons i had sent in i got busy making a (and i am quoting here) "Mini go-kart of DOOM!" That single go kart made up of nothing more than a canon, 2 MG's, a medic, a single 1x1 PHX plate and some wheels nearly wiped out the new guys base. all this while the Regular had built a hovercraft which took out my first base. But as i had 5-7 cap points i was soon able to make another. using a combination of snipers MG's and medis i was able to defend that point long enought to... give him time to make another hovercraft. I was shortly dead. It was one of my best battles but the one i rember most is hwn i had perfected the Shakey Phallic medium-heavy thank. (the dupe is on the sever if you want it but it only seems to dupe the thrusters for manuvering. Otherwise its fine.) it was able to completly trash a base surrronded by lasers and a sheild. I named it shakey because of its annoying tendacy to fall over at the most inconvenient of times and places.

My best battle was against a player who had created the perfect hover battle ship. I was trying to ween myself of hover balls, but kept being harassed by him. Worse still he was 13/14 ( he had a mic).

So I decided I would have to build a counter ship, I did, but wanted to prove a point about simplicty compared to his behemoth. A simple dumpster with some hover balls, machine gunners and two flak cannons. It stopped him and I brought in some snipers and heavys to finish him off. However, I'td allowed him to expand quickly and take a great amount of resources and I was soon facing more. I lost.

Next game? him and his ally were doing the same thing and I was almost the only one left. In his arrogance he had made nil spawn point defences, and fortified one of the castles on 'castles'. So I went straight for the jugular and built a carrier for a cargo container and dumped them straight on. it took 15 minutes for me from nothing and with a very sparse base to take down him and his partner with a raid from the sky and bypass their considerable defenses.

One game I was with colonel sanders, he was, of course, using his favorite mobile turrets. So we dropped 4 of those at green's res node, and since he had no control points, we had him completely cut off from resources. After he was without and NRG, he tried to send a ship to attack our base, this ship being composed of only an order core, a mortar, and hoverballs. Our flak shot him down while he was over his resource node trying to get to our base. We did the same to all colors, yellow fell pretty fast, most likely because he was new, but with red, I brought my tank in there and tried to finish him off, it failed, so I sent in another one before he could get back up to full strength, 'twas fun needless to say.

I haven't had an epic battle in ages.

[feha]

I actually had a epic batte yesterday on "fogofwar" (gosh I hate that map).
I wanted the map to end fast, so I decided to grab only a few cp (8) then make harvestes and defence and dropper.

At the time I was finished exept a hover-ball, alpha comes and attack me with that airplane of his, exept it has cannons instead of strikers. I sucesfully fend him of, making him rethink his plan of attack, and go to my harvester, killing them instead.
when he was on his way to them, I could afford the hb, welded the turrets, went up in air and let them shoot on him.
What I did not think of however, was that he had height advantage with cannons vs a craft only able to shoot sideways.
As I ascended, he did to, with same speed, leading to my craft retreating heavily damaged, and get shoot down fleeing.

As he retreated to base for repairs, I started remaking the dropper, but with less streangth (making it wobbly and cheaper) aswell as faster speed on hb. When it was done (slightly short on cash), he had been having fun shooting at the wreckage of my last dropper already.
I sent my dropper to his base, happily noticing my dropper was faster then his plane. At the time I got there, he had made a small defence, and I dropped my turrets. This first attack was a phail, doing no more dmg then like 200 on sp aswell as killing 3 medics and some more melons i dont remember.
As my dropper retreats, his plane arrives killing my turrets remains. I reload on turrets, and send a second attack on him (he was repairing his plane again due to my turrets actually sucesfully blowing up a cannon, playing chain reaction).
That time the attack worked better, and I was glad. Alpha noticed that he might have problem with me, so when I drop the next 2 turrets with 4 more lazor turrets, he went making a second spawn hidden somewhere.

As he told me he "fled", I decided to instead of dropping, decend and let turrets shoot sideways. When my turrets killed his base, I went looking for his sp, not finding it. This led me to go to cyan and decend there due to no flak cannons, killing him.
I then ascended and went to a recently discovered purple base, dropping my turrets there. I then went to reload turrets, and saw to my horror that alpha were sending his plane to several of my different cps.
I loaded the turrets and went to a base of his that I had found, for which he retreated to, killing my turrets with a microwave lazer and creating huge dmg on my dropper.

This made me quickly flee back to base, to heal and reload. I added a micro to fight his, aswell as 2 lazors.
I then atk him quickly with 2 new turrets, on his done base, but they hit on it and fell over. So I just went back and restocked.
By this time I decided my best card to win, is finding his income and kill it, so I went to his harvesters atking them.
He made them flee, which was a bad decision, as this led me to following them to a spawn he hidden in the forest, which I hadnt found yet, so I killed it and the harvesters, then his 2 cps that he still had from the first sp.

While doing this, he had been killing all my cps, but I still had enough nrg, so I went and reloaded turrets, and made a sucesfull atk after a few drops, in which he responded with wrath (I did not win due to 2 people joining and spawning sp, making them left to kill), and used the lame tactic that always work on me (hovering above my sp firing with microwave on it).
While all melons at ground defending, were outranged due to longer distance (the sp height is enough to render even snipers unable to reach), I went fleeing and created 2 sp just like him, certain he would kill 1 quickly. To my suprise, he instead went scouting (he hadnt seen them yet) and this gave me time to get defence built. While it was still building (not enough made for his tactic though) and a few light fighters for caping cps again were being built, he came.

As he killed me he went to kill the closest other guy, and quickly did so (and got comments like "rusher" with 3 mins left of the game).
For some reason he then went killing the next enemy, instead of my last sp (he didnt think of the fact I might still have one, prolly he though his forest one still was alive).
This made me win with 1 minute left ingame, when he actually had more points (even though I killed 3 of his sp, 2 others, and he "only" killed 2 of mine and 2 others, aswell as I had more cps).
As I won he got suprised and I got happy.

That I my story with linebrakes. Alpha, I know I have forgott things and blend some memories, but that is due to a bad memory (especially the order stuff happened). I would really like if you fulfilled it and fixed stuff that I remember wrong.

So to say, epic fight taking 59 minutes, on a lame and boring map (I hate maps with fog, I like to be able to scout easy).

Edit: added linebrakes

[alphawave]

Well, as he asked me to help, I do remember a couple of things he forgot...

I actually killed 2 of his SPs and THREE others. What he forgot is that it was my own! :/ As he said I was using my bomber to clean up his phail of a first assault. But they were right on my spawn point, and I ended up doing about 600 dmg to my spawn before I could back out of range. So with a spawn at about 200ish hp, I decided it would be easier to just frag it and remake it. XD

Another things is from about the second half of the entire game (right after I mounted a microwave on the end of my bomber) to the very end, I had 0 income, except what I could get off one harvester. He got repelled, blown out of the sky, and baseraped by a plane I couldn't replace the units on. (I did have like 4 medics though at base)

The final thing, was I knew he made 2 spawnpoints at the end. But the way lap has it set up for spawns, if it gets past 20% it WILL be built. The spawn is almost impossible to kill because it keeps reseting to whatever % the build is at for hp. Since there was about 2 minutes left in game, I figured rape as much as I could and hope my score was higher (It was VERY close and at the end I actually did have more points). Then right after I killed the last guy I remembered....

I have no spawn out.

And so the game ended with about a minute left, him winning.

But I will say even though he won, it was an empty victory.
Because he NEVER killed my plane the entire game.

[feha]

Ah, so that was why you had more points then me? You were the one getting final blow on your sp, leading me to only killing total of 4 and you 5 (and all that 600 dmg on the first few drops were not made by your cannons blasts, my lazors got alot to ).

Also, at the point of microwave, you actually had a harvester? I thought I killed all.
And sure my dropper got way beaten by it, but the dropper actually survived with "only" heavy dmg .

And what I meant was that hovering above a building sp would have cause me to not be able to build defence att all (not that it was needed for you though :S).
And the third spawn was so close to the second and also done, so killing it would not have been a problem for you.
Do you say the reason you had more points was only due to killing the sp making you loose? Hwo ironic isnt that?


And I must agree, that plane is good. It is great at assaulting bases (especially if it laso has a micro) and the 2 flaks it had, could render most fighter unable to attack I guess.
My (second) dropper survived too (I thank my 20k streangth ordercore, which gave me enough speed to flee succesfully when needed), exept the very first one getting ripped out of the sky immediately on lift-off, by actually engaging that plane in a battle.

Elad, was that me? I remember I built a big hovership out of sodamachines, and then someone (you?) built a counter ship out of a dumpster, only, my ship completely swam through it but the dudes (yours?) base defenses took my ship down. However, I did not use a mic.
