Multiplayer Matches - Stainless Steel 5.1

**Armatus** · December 26, 2007, 11:16 AM

Hey everyone, while I'm waiting for an online campaign group to materialize I thought I'd see if any of you SS fans would like a few online battles? I figured I'd start a new topic here as it sure does beat sitting around in the lobby waiting... hoping... for someone anyone with SS to log on! It also might help cure the boredom between campaign turns if we grouped up for a few online matches in the downtime.

So let's do this, I have no problems hosting you can reference my speed test results in my vanilla match sign up thread here:

Otherwise reply here if you'd like to go for a quick 1v1 or group game. Must have SS patched to 5.1!

I'd like to give it a try.

But I've never played a TW online before. I'll have to take a look at how it's done.

**Armatus** · December 28, 2007, 07:49 AM

Awesome mate!

Let me tell you if you can do a hotseat game then online battles is really like "butta" comparatively speaking

I'm here now if you're down for a game, just pm.

**Poqzt** · December 28, 2007, 11:13 AM

Great

I don't have time enough do play tonight though. I'll pm when I'm in need to kick your ass.

**Armatus** · December 29, 2007, 08:20 AM

I like your confidence young grasshopper

**Armatus** · December 31, 2007, 08:55 AM

Alright entering the ring with filled with confidence from Poqzt saying he's only played 1 online match before

I lost the first round under a clear defeat. I don't even want to tell you how I lost it was so bad...

But round two I regained my stolen glory and delivered a clear victory to the young grasshopper! Maybe he was just humoring me?

Only going into battle for the best 2 of 3 will tell

You were a blind fool when you entered the ring (actually it's a square

) in our first battle. And I mean it literally.

Later on after a clear victory over the infidel, such arrogance were brought upon me that I thought a scottish pike box can do battle with a late period Kiev Rus army!? I was met by boyar sons, archers, spearmen, scandinavian guard and at last the russian muskets who had victory in thier eyes even before they took their first shot.

I promise that the final battle will be a crushing defeat for Armatus.

mounted xbows are a key unit for westro players and in all my blind under estimation of your skills unknowingly allowed you to exploit them to the fullest!!! But if I can make one pathetic excuse I always go into battle with hud on slide for good screenshots so the biggest mistakes where as follows:

Thinking you wouldn't be clever enough for a rear flank attack

and second, not checking my unit cards!!!

Oh and of course I forgot my bodyguard...

Yes Cossack muskets rule!

I'm not so sure I agree with all the balancing in SS though, I'll tell you my xbows were dirt cheap! 190 florins a piece!

I promise that the final battle will be a crushing defeat for Armatus.

We shall see.... We shall see...

**Poqzt** · January 07, 2008, 01:08 PM

Anyone interested in a fight tonight? Pm me in at least one and a half hour.

Btw, unfortunately I forgot to save either of our games, would you mind to upload the last one which you saved Armatus? It would be nice to watch as a reminder of my first defeat.

**Armatus** · January 08, 2008, 08:29 AM

sorry I missed you haha I think I was actually in the lobby when you posted this next time just logon and check

I think I'll be playing this morning again. Let me look for the file and I'll pass it to ya!

**Armatus** · January 08, 2008, 09:38 AM

alright here you are, I tried to send it via pm but apparently there is no way to, if you're up for a game I'll probably be in the multiplayer lobby in about 10 minutes from now.
