Shadows is nice and different flag capturing even it may be a bit more challenging than other maps because of restricted armors, engines and weapons.
Remove or update sinking fast... today maksalot and headshootmaster did a race... not to the middle but which team can repair the drowning cv faster... dn who had won that i was tired and leaved the server after one hour but the fact that no other player complained about it shows what they think about it... i still think sinking is fun but im not the majority
yeah i've heard complaining about it alot, i don't believe emp_atol is on the server rotation, its sinking without the water rising.
They complain about it because they don't know how to win. The sinking is also one of my favorite maps because it is so different and something new.
Actually we on NF won after Isack (yea, funny name huh?) gone to melee the people repairing the BE commander, with the aid of engineers.
As far as I can tell the repairing the CV under water stratagey is only any use if the enemy do the same. Against a team that's playing the game it's the highway to fail. So to be honest it's the equivalent of a team decided to sit there are do nothing. atol is on the server but it's not in the rotation, if you really want it i can add it to the cycle.
Yea I was in that game, we did alright till BE got Arty, then we all died and were out of tickets, but it was really funny to heal each other before we drowned then go back to repairing lol.
Had the lamest game on sinking ever yesterday. NF stuff all underwater getting pounded by artillery, nothing taking damage. NF hiding CV in VF constantly repairing it, camped behind layers of underwater l3 turrests so we couldnt swim down. Despite spending entire game underwater healing the CV, they won after like 2 hours because there was no way to kill them and we eventually lost all tickets out of boredom. This map can be fun but also extemeley lame and boring.
I agree. Just swim above the turrets and drop the mines and it is bye bye then. Or if you can't reach the turrets get a scout with hide next to them to disable them and do the mine trick. And yes, the scout's hide works underwater too. I have used it too.
They were careful about invisible scouts, and 9mining was doing exactly zero damage because it was bugged. Im not the most experienced but there were another dozen players on my team who obviously were. im telling you the map went for over an hour, maybe two. worst game of empires ever.
I'll list that bug on the mantis because it seems there aren't any meantions about it. Edit: Reported. http://empiresmod.com/bug_tracker/view.php?id=1179
on the list of maps, add emp_glycenpass. it is a fuuuuun map... epic infantry then nuke battles. ah, love it.
Oh, come on. That certainly wasn't the worst game of Empires ever. Maybe a very boring one, but certainly not a bad one.
