Mission 8 (OH GOD!) Part 2
So here we are, again.
This tactic gave the best results against the invading hordes.
Because the Guard-towers were close to the Storage the Helpers could restock the stone quite fast.
So those are my forces that survived. I’m quite happy with the result so far. So full of optimism I wanted to take on the enemy village to the west – “Fags”. Mined you I’m not using my exploits this time… I have full confidence in myself (what a fucking fool I am).
So let’s fight…
…and get royally buttfuck in the process from the flank. I forgot that the second entrance is a little bit to the north. LOAD.
For now let’s fortify our position and try to build our economy.
(Note: later it occurred to me that this was probably my most fatal error till now in this LP)
Well, I wasn’t totally disengaged from combat. I wanted to test if I can do the “Robin Hood” with those Shitheads to the east. So here they come.
I beat that group, thought it was a success until I saw that the whole damn village is rushing on my positions.
This is quite strange, I have two theories on what triggered their response:
1. Killing of the last soldier from the attacking squad.
2. My attack with major forces on their units (in this case the clash of the attackers with my defending forces)
I assume it’s the later because of something I noticed later.
Things look good, because they are moving in a line I’m using the Japanese Navy “T” formation.
Everything was looking good until they piled up and we were overrun. What am I fighting here? The Soviet Red Army or something?
Anyway, I will skip the economical part this time.
So I pulled my units further south in hope that I will somehow manage to “cutting off” the AI from throwing the whole village on my head… all in vain. I still get whipped out.
So we are now something like an hour into the mission. As you can see I build five G-T and I’m trying to take on the east village once more… and once more fail.
Ok, a small reorganization. Pulled one turret to the back so they will be in line. My units are now positioned behind them.
(Note: the enemy doesn’t attack my turrets… only my soldiers, strange I know)
Its 1:34, the west village sends a wave of four squads of different types (they were produced by the AI). I could hold them of pretty well if not for one small thing. As I engage them to defend myself… the west village from which they came sends their forces in full-fucking-strength. Where the fuck is the logic in this whole thing?! I can’t really blame this on anything other that the programmers mistake.
Not to mention they come and come like there is no fucking end to them.
OK, NO MORE MR. FUCKING FAIR PLAY
So I stop the first “production-wave” and wait for troops guarding the village.
What? Where are they? FFFFFFUUUUUU………..
This is fucking unbelievable… now when I’m trying to exploit the AI works by the book? Oh fuck it, play times over.
We are going all out on the east village, my Helpers AI will get broke again but fuck it (they won’t resupply the G-T).
Here they come.
Still coming.
Coming… my forces are on the limit, not to mention how many of those bloody Archers there are.
2 Archers and 4 AxeAs left. Destroyed the obstacles so my Helpers can deliver the stone.
We are 2:00 hours into the mission, summing up the situation the west village lost there first “production wave” and the east village lost a very large part of there forces. This should stall both until I will be able to produce my own units (in something like 15-20min).
Sweet fucking Jesus!
Them manage to build another wave in less then 30min (I mean from 1:34). This is fucking insane!
