This is where I'll be posting unusual things that happen during my gaming time daily. Thats pretty much it. Enjoy.
Today, I played Star Wars: Battlefront and Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots.
SW:Battlefront: Interestingly enough, I managed to live through an entire game without dying on the Mos Espa level on Tatooine. I sat in a corner of the cantina, fighting off hordes of rebel soldiers and taking their ammo and health once they died. Managed to off around 80 guys all on my own. I dont think I need to tell you I got the "camper" award. <__<
Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots: Whew. I played as the Germans in the modern age (WWII) against the Dutch, British, French, and Russians. Americans manage to outduke me too often on hard (USA all the way!). I played on a pure land map called "New World" where theres nothing but plains, mountains, and small rivers. I was playing a slow developer, and I didnt declare war the entire game. I got enough resources for my army, got the colossus wonder ( adds 50 to your population maximum), and began building huge military bases all across my territory. Russia, in the meanwhile, had killed off everyone except me and the Dutch. The Dutch refused to sign an alliance with me, even though the Russians were about to womp us both. The AI figures in the amount of troops you have, but not your capability to create troops. So the Russians eventually declared war on me when I didnt expect it (might be a good time to mention I made it so no one could use nukes) and began bombing my cities along the border. I sent in what little troops I had, which was about 15 tanks and 20 infantry, plus 4 artillery, 2 generals, and 4 supply trucks. I attacked them, and out of sheer defense managed to stop the 1st wave. During this time, I superboomed on my army and shot out like 40 tanks and 90 infantry, after getting rid of some useless villagers and scholars to make room in the population for them. My army fighting the Russians were nearly beaten down, but then my 2nd army came in and totally owned the battle. I took over 3 cities, and didnt want to spread out my troops too much, so I stopped and made peace. Oh, the Dutch declared war on me too during all of this, and started sending in hordes of bombers. I built a shitload of AA guns around my wonders, which they go for every time, and blew at least 30 planes out of the sky in 5 minutes. It was beautiful. I made peace with both of them, and then made an alliance with the Dutch. I havent finished yet, but you can expect the Russians to crumble. German Benefits in Modern Age: +Early building of granaries and lumber yards. +Volkgrenadiers. (German Unique Infantry, stronger than normal infantry.) +Tiger Tanks. (German Unique Tanks, a lot stronger than normal tanks.) +More time was spent on the German unit's art than anything else. +2 free fighters with each airbase built.
-EDIT- No Jews were harmed in the making of this story.
