Hey, I am new to Empires and thought that I might as well tell you all right now that I am a newbie so you don't get pissed off a me. It's a really fun game and I'll be playing it a lot after I get out of school. so, yea I am a newb. Anyone have any tips on how to use the mortar better, and what does the secondary fire for it do?
Always good to see new players, especially ones with the patience to learn the game. The mortar just requires practice, after a while you will be able to hit stuff on your first shot most of the time. Come to think of it I never even tried the secondary mortar fire, I'll have to look at that. Oh, and don't forget to select pistol #2 as BE, its like a semi auto rifle with no scope.
Secondary mortar fire opens a map so if you choose the artillery feedback you can see where your shells land to get better at the mortar watch me and dubee use it
Oh, that makes sense now. I do ususally use the second pistol for BE, I always prefer damage to rate of fire. Thanks for getting back to me so fast
Heh, I already got one of my friends to dl it , I'll usually be playing with him, his name is Darchon and he's also a newbie.
Secondary fire also makes it easier to see where your and enemy mines are on the map. I only noticed this recently, but if you are trying to defuse a mine field it's really quite helpful.
Welcome. I hope to see you on the battlefield. Rifleman is nice if you need to take down infantry. I really like the NF heavy rifle because of its damage and range (it's a semiautomatic rifle), but I don't like the heavy rifle of the BE. Too inaccurate. Try mastering vehicles. It's well worth it.
