Anyone up for a couple of games?

I use Gamespy (default multiplayer for RTW). My username is Soter.

Anyone up for a couple of games?

If you have XFire, I guess we can come up with some time for a battle or two, even though I haven't played it for ages, I'm more than ready for a challenge. My XFire is redfox20.

Hm. I have no XFire. It is not friendly to my computer.

What is XFire?

**RedFox** · March 21, 2009, 03:57 PM

It's a special kind of instant messenger for gamers. The welcome screen on the main page in http://www.xfire.com/ explains it all. If you're interested in playing a multiplayer game, my XFire is redfox20.

Dirty_M and myself discussed this earlier so I am up for it too, you should try get xfire to work with your pc, the best way of really getting in touch and setting up games.
Dirty also had a really good idea of AARs for our online battles, thought that would be a good addition to the forums.

We played a few games and I have the replays. If someone could get some good video material out of those it could be nice..

I have a new xfire - caladam. Can any one recommend a good amount of money to use in a multiplayer army? Just so you know everyone can't fill out their army with 3 gold chevron l337 tr00ps, any sort of default amount yous put.

25k usually provides a very strong army with few upgrades. 20k is the safest deal of "smart choice vs sloppy expensive bad choice" - basically Quantity vs Quality. Sometimes its more useful to have a wall of useless meat shield to pin down the enemy's main force and have a really elite striking force that will deal the blow.

If there's a way to win battles -> There are three types of troops, <bad> <good> <elite>

Match your <bad> against <elite> (loss)
Match your <good> against <bad> (win)
Match your <elite> against <good> (win)

You'll win 2/3 of the battle simply by doing that and taking care of the rest will be a breeze

This is taken from Sun Tzu's "The Art of War"

Cheers, never really played multiplayer games on RTW at all so if we play some games I will no doubt be pwnd a few times. But as they say it is not bad to learn from your enemy.
Got your add btw RF.
