draw / combomb / crying

[PsychOwnage]

So, yesterday I played a slightly stacked game (2x 1800s+ against 2x 1500s) and i was on the weaker side.

It was 1 on 1 acu combat and our health was going down, i tried to pull away which then he also did, but he managed to flood units my way before i realised and had time to get my units over to me to protect me.

Anyway, the case was his acu was less than 1k health and i had maybe 2k health

his units would easily have finished me off. Being a NO SHARE team game, and facing certain death, i felt it only right that I take him with me.

He wasn't happy saying i combombed him, lame etc, but in reality I think what I did was perfectly acceptable and my team mate went on to win the game thus losing this guy several points.


I dont ever set out to force draw, nor combomb or any tactic that involves sacrificing my acu trying to kill other guys units/commanders etc, unless i throw myself in the way of an expermental to get 2 OCs onto it so my team can live.

The point was I was CERTAINLY gonna die, his acu was right next to mine, all be it trying to run away with less than 1k health and my acu was firing on his acu anyway so it was only chance his tanks killed my acu before my acu killed his acu.

make sense?

next time say: don't hate the player, hate the game

It's his fault, he knew the dangers. It's like taking pot shots at dynamite and then acting all surprised when your S%#t gets blown up.

It's a valid tactic. He didn't protect his com and payed the price.

Death nuke is SO LOW now, and i often see strange sthings that is hardly destroys buildings, remember that in 3599 it was 4000 and it was ok.. Now it is 2500, i do not beleave it will be reduced.

The problem in some of thouse fight that if one pesone retreats he will probably loose, so both stay and hope that opponent retreats...

I would say: Well Played !

Using your comm to force a draw out of a loss is a completely valid skill, just as is avoiding a draw when you are winning.

[ColonelSheppard]

yes, get the InstaDestruction and the Crtl-K confirm mod so you can Crtl-K faster when he tries to block your commander with units
combomb is viable

[rootbeer23]

well i think crying is allowed in this case, so you are both right. win-win.

Whenever you are on the losing side, com bombing is a nice way to spit n your enemy's face one last time. However, when the game is still undecided, it's a lame tactic at best (this happened to me once: a 1v1 where the enemy want straight for my ACU near my base in the hopes of making a draw).
