pc game review: rise of nations

[Horab Fibslager]

lemme start off by sayng i abhor the rts genre. i bought rise fo nations because i tried the patriots demo, and lieked it. i should've stopepd right there however, as patriots is aexpack that requires teh full game and homie don't play that.  regardless, this game gets 10 stars because of that one time i spent the afternoon nukign the crap out of midieval japan.


if you liek rts, you'll probaly liek this game.

fro me, the goodness of rts died when i defeated several top ranked korean starcraft players at their national sport.

You play Starcrack? For how long?

starcraft is all about ling rushes. everything else is there to make you think the game actually has substance.  i find rise of nations to be my favorite real time strategy games, as it combines the best elements of the Civilization series with the best elements of the Age of games (like Age of Mythology). Even though dawn of way is cool too.

starcraft is all about ling rushes.

Ling rushes? You get a bunch of chinese guys lined up and have them run straight at the guy playing against you while yelling at the top of their voices?

I thought I invented that.

Fuck the zerg rush.

My life for Aiur!

i was alaways a great fan of the base plasmagun fortress and go mass carriers with arbiters and observers and god fuck soem some shit up. course zerg air def buildings and scourges when applied insufficent numbers really hurts this strat, especialyl if the go all air fortress up on your poor elf wannabe ass i hate that gaem so much.

Mass carriers=Instant Win.

[Slarti]

not if the other person has half a brain and ling rushes your ass.

or if he goes mass air def.(the obvious late game defence, if you're expecting  mass air from your opponent)

3 or 4 gorups of scourges alone wil decimate an entire carrier rush. it's incredibly easy as zerg to follow that up  with a crap load of those zerg flying units(the deadly fart and longrange bomber ones) then retaliate.

tehn that's what the base plasma cannnon fortress is for, to slow down teh enemy long enough to build up another carrier group and soem arbiters.

it should be noted while humans got soem wicked anti air units, humans in genreal are entirely too space unefficient to mount a viabel lategame defence/attack.

na man, nothing can stop mass carriers. if you've warped in alot of carriers and don't win instantly you don't ahve enough carriers.

think about it. if it wasn't true, it wouldn't be on the net.

edit: the only thing that can beat mass carriers is an SCV rush.

[Horab Fibslager]

if you rushed me with scvs i'd ignroe them and keep building.

you've obviously never seen the power of an SCV rush.

*goes off to look for the SCV rush video*

i was afraid this would happen.

now i have to go on a grand adventure to find my starcraft disc, then i have to brush up on my clicking skills, all the while checking out th echanges to tweak my counterstrokes and all that.

can we agree on money maps tho? i find regualr maps to be incomprehensibly boring.

and can we do soem zerglign blood and simpsons matches into the mix? r and maybe a ww2 match? we gotta go all out.
