SUPREME COMMANDER EPIC #95 Custom 6v6 on Delta Riva

[@twistedpixel756]

Team 2 had this in the bag, and then proceeded to make 94 targeting errors in a row.

[@mindsoulbody]

Reminds me of one or two old casts where the very same mistake can be seen.

[@TheHuffur]

Very frustrating to see to be honest. Its almost like they went: "So what is the ONE thing that could make us lose this game at this point? Flip-flop between focusing on depleting the SMDs and other targets to allow the SMDs to refill while minimizing the impact of the ones that do land? OK! lets go with that then!"

[@exp-eri-mental]

haha exactly this, so bizarre.

[@InsaneReaper961]

Lets give a nice round of applause for Geneva making really good use of those Satellites in this game. Most people seem to get stuck in the thought process of using them to poke at PGens and other core base bits (which they are extremely good at), but one of the game winning moves that was made with them was a bit that Gyle missed happening. The part where the Sats went completely wild on Surrey's fairly well defended Naval Yards and basically took him out of the rest of the naval game, which allowed Dark_Magician and Stryker to overwhelm the sea and dominate the endgame naval battles on Team 1's front doorstep.

[@allananderson6343]

Ah, this is why I love Supreme Commander. Cheap tricks will only get you so far. Unlike other strategic games these days, which focus primarily on fast tactics and luck, Supreme Commander really is all about strategy. In this case, both players had a similar strategy, Super Nuke vs Satellite, but whereas team 1 worked together to counter the super nukes, team 2 didn't work together to break the defenses. Lee was on his own as far as launch capacity until Night got involved, but by then it was too late, and team 1 had anti launchers all over the satellite base. Had Lee redirected those nukes to something more productive... Good stuff. Really fun to see actual plans being made and tested. Too many games nowadays become formulaic. Supreme Commander can still surprise.

[@biohita]

Yeah, I really hate that "strategy games" get reduced to starcraft click spam tactics.

[@Puschit1]

On the other hand team 2 worked together earlier in the naval game

[@allananderson6343]

@@Puschit1 True, but they fell apart once the yolo was up, either thinking the game already won, or because one of them decided to switch focus to defenses. (That island had a lot of shields and artillery) Had they kept up the pressure, and finished capturing the map points they had pushed, game probably would have gone very differently.

Sometimes you get stuck in a way of playing/thinking, specially when you are losing, you just can't think of anything new. (Speaking from my own limited experience)

[@TheDragoon59]

Love the epics Gyle! keep 'em coming! Also a perfect example of beating a dead horse, this game was. Leesauce should've been chucking those Nukes at Dark Magicians and Strykers navies as soon as he saw going for the base was failing after a few attempts. Had he supported Surrys forces in the north and cleaned out the Magicians naval power in the middle instead, we'd have had a different game altogether. Team 1 really had the teamwork going for them!

[@friendlytalbot4050]

It's something I've noticed a lot with these games, and have been annoying me a lot. Guys with nukes seem to go glory hogs, chasing that back base snipe, and even if it fails, they keep trying over and over to get that one snipe. A lot of games could have been turned around had they used their nukes against the opponent army instead where there's guaranteed to be no anti nukes. But ah what do I know, I don't even play the game. 😆

[@henryward5457]

@@friendlytalbot4050 Hitting a moving target is hard, even if it moves at a snail's pace. This sometimes leads to the mistaken assumption that units cannot be hit with nukes. A base is a big, stationary target that can be game-changing if hit. If there were only maybe four antinukes, shooting the base would be a valuable target and a good idea. With eight antis, however, it was never going to work well. (I have heard somewhere that four moderately-assisted antis can hold off one Yolo, but I could be remembering wrong).

for those who missed it: the failed ryguys telesnipe was a quit... they had to leave and wanted to make most of it. Quite a few early exits. sadly nightblood never got the memo though, saying he was winning even as late as the 2 last ctrl k's... lol. had he started nuking literally anything other then the base protected by 7 smd's, they might have won. for those wondering: the Yolona Oss fires a nuke that needs 2 anti nukes to negate, at double the rate... which means 4 smd's completely shuts down a yolo.

[@Puschit1]

4 isn't enough, 6 is the magic number. Unless they changed it recently.

[@banaman7746]

@@Puschit1 My understanding has always been 4... but that is going off base "it just does it's own thing" speed. You would be dedicating engineer build speed to speed it up further, so I'm guessing that is most likely where the 6 comes from, because engineers helping the super nuke is probably more efficient then engineers helping the smd's. (never tested this... so I am assuming you are correct here)

[@moistmike4150]

I wonder what would've happened had Team-2 immediately recognized that they weren't likely to break Team-1's Anti-Nuke defenses and therefore started spamming nukes all over Team-2's naval and resourcing production. They could've simply reinforced their shields to defend against the Satellite attacks and then continued building nukes and Artillery. Methinks it would've been academic after that. Ah well. Easy to armchair Quarterback this sort of thing after the fact. In any case - GREAT GAME! And AWESOME CASTING (as usual) from Gyle! : D

[@GalileoAV]

Wow, you don't see such a good example of "counter their counter" that often.

[@PrinceJackTheFirst]

I think the reason why Purple and Dark Gray didn't take out the base in the northeast is because their Seraphim destroyers, with their beam weapons, couldn't negotiate the slight incline over which the base was located. I went and looked at the replay myself, and Dark Gray did park three destroyers within range just to the west of the island, but the destroyers kept hitting the incline.

[@praeamble]

They really need to do something to change up the Novax tbh. Maybe give it a limited number of shots before the satellite depletes and you have to build a new one. Or maybe change it from a focused damage output weapon to an area of effect EMP weapon requiring it to be use in tandem with other units for best results. Anything to make it more interesting than a map-wide point-and-click death laser.

[@allananderson6343]

@@praeamble Then UEFs will just spam mavor's instead. Yes mavors require more power, but they also do far more point damage in a single shot and have a similarly high fire rate. Without support from team 1s navy, those novak's would have never broken through team 1s core shield coverage.

[@GemuMasta98]

I once suggested somewhere already - Use nukes to destroy sattelites. This would be awesome, not anti-nukes, but normal nukes. It makes sense, you CAN explode nukes in stratosphere or however you call it (not space, cos no air), and it could at least make sattelites loose connection or something.

[@MrCh0o]

@@GemuMasta98 I mean, you can explode nukes in space, too, although there would be no shockwave, but if it hits close enough the radiation alone would certainly take out a satellite (I don't mean just the neutrons, but also all the EM waves, even just the visible light might fry a satellite if close enough)

Before that he wrote "Уноси ноги, пока можешь" which translates to "get your feet up while you can" (I assume an idiom) and "Ты уничтожишь эту БМК, на ее месте появится другая. Я - бесконечен." which comes out as "You will destroy this BMK, another one will appear in its place. I am endless." (I assume BMK is 'com' in cyrilic).

It just pains to see how people continuously sacrifice the entire battlefield in a hope to overpower multiple enemy's SDs with a Yolo, while they could easily win the game by carpet bombing the battlefield (especially the slow sea) with the Yolo instead.

[@pfeilspitze]

Unsurprising ending, TBH. (Spoiler space) On a map where they reach, mass strategic T3 will beat strategic T4 -- the yolo didn't do any damage while it's building, whereas even the first satellite forces a ton of shield building. (And the satellite has been moved down to T3, essentially, with the Mavor as the only real land T4 for the UEF.)

[@SolStains]

A thought about defence satellites and other "game enders", it is in the name. When you have managed to defend and put down the resources into these kinds of weapons you SHOULD be "overpowered". The experimental weapons being "unfair" or "unbalanced" may be a feature and working as intended. Thoughts on this anyone?

[@Redfog-z6u]

yes the intention of game enders is that they are so expensive that if you manage to build one or in the cases of t3 artillery or novax if you manage to keep building them to critical mass it should end the game, though that perspective is very different for massive team games like this, where their is a stupid amount of eco on them map and a lot of players in-between the back players and the other team. in a 1v1 or a 2v2 if you finish a yolona oss you deserve to win because it means you've done some incredible defending, but when theirs a billion mass coming in 1 player at the back spending it on a game ender is a lot harder to punish, its still punishable but it requires much better play and coordination from the opponent team then it does from the game ending player.

[@pfeilspitze]

The "T4s" are absolutely supposed to be that. They have such massive build times (and resource costs) that you punish them by destroying the enemy that's not making useful use of all the resources (including build power) while trying to build it. For example, walk a monkey underwater up into the base to mazor all the power and destroy the shielding that way.
