How to win Phantom with arguments \o/

[Frozen_byte]

Just leave this here - epic long Phantom N game but I finally won!
Not about serious gameplay, just brainwashed each Innocent :>

Strategy: Verbal Confrontation! - success!

Heh. I played a 6 man phantom on Castle last night. Torch was one of 2 phantoms, he was opposite me, the other was apoc, he was next to me. At about 9 minutes Torch sends a ythotha to one of hie neighbor innos.... I warn him well in advance, but the ythotha utterly smashes him. Next inno, torch's other side... warned in advance, totally murdered by a single ythotha. Next inno, my other nieghbor, managed to build a GC in this time, got murdered by 2 ythothas. I sent what troops I had (2 fatties + some percivals) and took out the attack force torch had planned for me: 3 ythothas.

I asked apoc to team up with me... but it wasn't enough. Torch attacked me with 3 Ahwassas and then attacked Apoc and killed us both in about a minute. Innocents had never been dealt such a bad hand before, I swear.

I cheked the stats an I collected 600k mass to torch's 800k.

Nobody needs Units, if you incites them against each other, Just sit back and laugh at them.

That was epic game. Never played phantom before but definitely want to. How long phantoms last? who normally wins?

Edit - Phantom is AWESOME. Games last much longer than normal because everyone can just ecowhore at the start. But after that its epic. Rating does not matter as much as in normal games.

Nooby, the win result is almost always different.

Last phantom game I played was on 6castles, with me having to improve a lot on my gameplay again since I barely played FA lately. I was in between 2 phantoms but neither was really up for a fight. The phantom clockwise was just building (eventually getting a T4 SML), but the innocent further clockwise next to him was building so fast (Though it is very possible) that he was thought to be a phantom. The two attacked while the actual second phantom (CCL next to me) wasn't doing much in the first place. Easy for me to keep up with him.

Several ahwassa's, nukes and T4 bots later, the eco-ing innocent died and I just had to use my few strat bombers to kill the T4 nuke from the phantom (Just one or 2 shield generators over it). Add some soul rippers and he ended up dead. My nukes killed the second phantom (or he pulled the plug on his own accord, I can't remember correctly).

It was mostly fun because I didn't know whether which one of the two active fighters was phantom, so I just had to sit back and attack the survivor with everything I had.

Replay? Also another few reasons why i like phantom is that every unit in the game sees use. Rarley do you see mass soul rippers, nukes and game enders in standard games.

Here it is.

Well, I finally managed to watch FB's entire replay and the innocents were clearly not paying attention early on. You managed to build Tempests at full speed while you had a completely crippled economy. You had a maximum of 145 mass income on your own but you pumped out the second tempest insanely fast.

reminds me of this replay with THE worst noob I have seen. Ever. Anyway he had t3 acu with only 2 t1 mex and a single t1 pgen. Then after about 20 mins into the game he started work on a t3 pgen. I called him out as phantom way before. But nobody believed me. Eventually he was owned though.

I've got a new phantom game here. I think it's great fun to watch. I thank my victory to overcharge and phantoms attacking each other too soon

I think the map is called "Phantoms-Reef", but searching the vault for phantom will get you all related maps on one page (I actually don't know if opening the file from your computer will prompt FAForever to auto-download the map or not).
