Most game grievances:
« on: July 10, 2013, 03:25:26 PM »
What faction has personally caused you the most game grievances within ICW: Mine personally are those bastard Chiss who I love so much. They come in at the right moment and wipe my Imperial fleets off the map while my forces are off fighting rebels. They make me pull back all my forces into the core to launch attacks onto the EOTH lands only to get my ground forces losing troops quickly due to the amount of anti-vehicle weapons they had ( I should have spammed Stormies and plex )



What causes you the most grief?

Whenever I'm not being the PA (for whatever reason) they always tend to drop a fleet with Kaine and Jerec in an area that is very lightly defended. Cheeky bastards

The PA was surprisingly almost exterminated by the time I reached them (focusing on the southern galaxy owned by the NR at the time) every planet except for Jaemus was owned by the NR, but entirely undefended. I cleared them out easily and then I went to Jaemus (the only Pentastar Alignment planet left  :'( ) and so I fought off Kane, a Praetor II, the star destroyer hero, and a few other capitals and support ships.

The EotH I guess killed the NR defense forces over in that sector, seeing that a huge battle occured in Isthor? I forget, it's one of the planets bordering the PA and EotH. It ended up in an EotH victory where they KILLED LUKE SKYWALKER.

I was pissed because that was my job - I went on an exodus to destroy the EotH only to end up with my entire ground army of 150 units to reach an extreme low, of like 40. My fleet lost multiple star destroyers to the thousands of Karieks that came my way.

Man they're fun to fight.

That is definitely one of the aspects of this game I enjoy (the variety of experiences). The game I mentioned (with the Kaine and Jerec assault) I had focused on the south-east portion of the map so I fought off a lot of EoTH and NR but by the time I went to focus on Mon Calamari and Syca I had found that the PA controlled damn near everything on the border of space with small pockets of EoTH and NR planets. Was quite interesting to see, and a pain in the ass to fight.

Definitely the EOTH. Many a time I have been forced to halt my campaign against the greater galaxy because the freakin' Chiss just parked a ginormous fleet with all of their heroes in it right outside the core. I end up having to take care of them first before I can put paid to the NR.

The PA was surprisingly almost exterminated by the time I reached them (focusing on the southern galaxy owned by the NR at the time) every planet except for Jaemus was owned by the NR, but entirely undefended.

Generally, I've found that the PA is always the first faction to go.

Usually its the Empire of the Hand, who keep spamming one type of ship and just throwing that at me until I'm bankrupt.

However, the PA became a nightmare during one NR game. They literally had dozens of Praetors crawling all over the place, Kaine had about 11 with him at all times, they took over nearly the entire northern part of the map, all of the EotH's planets, and were only one stop away from Coruscant before I finally caught up with them.

The bastards also made it impossible to advance the Era, as they trapped Isard with the most insanely huge Imperial fleet imaginable (3 SSD's, 30 Carracks, 10 ISDs), which would be completely impossible to beat.

For me it's the NR.  I destroy the EoTH early because they're such a pain to fight, so by the time I'm fighting the NR, there's just so many quasars that I end up having to retreat because I run out of fighters and anti-fighter supplies.

People who ask for SSDs for the EotH
"That's not what the Empire would have done, Commander. What the Empire would have done was build a super-colossal Yuuzhan Vong-killing battle machine. They would have called it the Nova Colossus or the Galaxy Destructor or the Nostril of Palpatine or something equally grandiose. They would have spent billions of credits, employed thousands of contractors and subcontractors, and equipped it with the latest in death-dealing technology. And you know what would have happened? It wouldn't have worked. They'd forget to bolt down a metal plate over an access hatch leading to the main reactors, or some other mistake, and a hotshot enemy pilot would drop a bomb down there and blow the whole thing up. Now that's what the Empire would have done."

Late game IR with leftover MTCs, Venators, and acclamators.  So many fighters and... time stands still.

Most of the time it's the EotH very early on that causes trouble. Most of the time (for me anyway) I launch an initial assault on them if I'm close by, and wait for them to retaliate with their hero blobsicle. I find that if I kill all their heroes they will not attack again until they get new ones. Then I have pretty much free reign over them. The NR isn't really that much of a problem until Era 3 because they tend to do more "hit and fade" style attacks. Once they get Wedge in the Lusankya, though, they go on the offensive and can be annoying due to fighter spam (thank the maker for 2.1 and fighter staggering).

The NR is completely unbearable in FTGU, though. All they do is spam BAC and Quasars early, then pump out the Viscounts, Nebulas, and Endurances alongside them.

I've found the best way to deal with the EoTH is hand is to take Syca.  Without that, they lose a HUGE amount of agression in my experience.

My first GC was Into the Cluster as NR. I consolidated my starting fleets at systems in danger. I thought Kuat was safe because it was "only the Hapes" within striking distance. Yeah...

That's when I learned minor factions have active AIs. Boy, was that fun.

Agh, happened to me as well on Stars Align, I left Coruscant completely undefended, got rushed by Harrsk and his friends.

Luckily, Harrsk's entire invasion force was destroyed by 1 anti-infantry turret!

Zsinj's faction is also pretty active in Empires at War, he can easily take Wayland if you're not careful.

I'd have to say that the NR gets the dubious honor of claiming that title, though the EoTH comes in as a close second. Most recently I was trying to play a Ground Up campaign as the IR and have found myself surrounded by Viscounts on two planets and overwhelming Quasars and Coronas on the others...wouldn't be as big an issue if I could hit the Coronas with missiles but since I can't...

  yep.  I just killed off the fourth viscount.  They were coming in trios!  I had to stop everything and build a ssd because they pancaked everything.
Did you see that?  Know what that cost?  $58,000.  I mean, what a waste.  It wasn't even funny.  That's $58,000 that could have gone to curing leukemia.  Or.  muscular dystrophy.  Or... what does Michael J. Fox have?  That.  Alright, let's watch some damn cartoons.
