Daily Replays (SKILLED)

This is my first thread so don't mind if the topic is messy or something.



I will make 3 levels when i post and hopefully more will be posted.

Highskilled [H] 9-10 skilled
Skilled [S] 7 or more
Regular[R] 6 or less
EDITED ABOVE TO CURRENT.

I will also start adding if there are suecide players in the game & if there are eco players in the game.



First up: This is an intense game with alot of skilled players E.g. PlayerSlayer, Diehard, Carpetbomb, Ooloo and more.

The Deciding Factor in my opinion is Carpetbomb being able to defeat his opponent faster then anyone else and then being able to feed his team.
Tho I think there is alot of intresting 1v1's going on in this game but Carpet sent ~50k Cred and some of Metal/Crystal
Vs My teams 0, Thus ending the game.

I made a big misstake losing my Progren and wasn't able to recover from that and I also upgraded my fleet supply to fast resulting in a ~200 Supply being unused after I lost my Cap...

The most even matchup here is Ooloo vs Diehard in my opinion, also I would like to point out that Diehard is almost getting 0 Feed compared to the others in his team and still outperforming.

Replay can be found Here and in the External Link button.

No, i actually didn't check, but this has gotten me interested.  My rebellion is currently having major minidump problems and i can't even get on it.  Will the recordings work in the diplomacy folder?

Played some games tonight with "Stranger" on my team. Ask Eros about him lol...

Here is one in fact. Carrier Mobility is quite funny too. He lost 1, soon to be 2 capital ships, and his entire fleet of 60+ corvettes suicided on my defense vessels but he still thinks he's winning somehow...anyway, watch from Stranger's point of view and you can see he micros his battles quite impressively.

no. rather, on windows 7, put recording in C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\(recordings folder). no you can't view replays with corvettes and titans and stuff though Diplomacy.

The neutral militia attack very predictably, and the only unit you need to kill to colonize are the siege frigates. Learning how to colonize quickly like that is quite straightforward, and certainly much less difficult than learning all the ship counters and good fleet positioning that a skilled player does. why so few people know to expand like this is beyond me

Besides, there were only 3 planets with serious militia I had to fight off. My eco position was mostly filled with roids, neutral extractor wells, and wormholes and stuff. Going though that sort of area somewhat quickly is nothing special...

Bleh. Didn't do very well in that one, although I managed to hold off my enemy I got very lucky with 5 neutrals close by. It took me ages to react to his colony cap bombing my outside roids and in fights my flak spent way too much time moving around instead of staying near my illums to shoot down the corvs.

Reply #56 Top

Saw first reply with "fast" expansion. TBH he did nothing special and I don't know if you noticed he had 13 neutral extractors 15 min into the game. 

Anyone who actually reads forums and listens to skilled players advice can do that. 

Only thing new I saw from him it that he put multiple orders to colony ships to board extractors that I never tried or bothered to do.

He was very late with trade giving that he was eco slot ..

 

Compare his game to Vets. He does nothing to get neutrals ASAP he wastes time with his cap when he could expand His planing to how to expand with least travelling is very poor. It takes him ages to upgrade planets.

Vet is veteran as in plays this game for a long time but so far I haven't seen him put some effort to get his game to higher level....

 

 

PS Rubby are you turning into KOK.

I think you are spending to much time with him. And you don't listen and you always go for siege frigates when you haven't won the war or battle for gravity well. Big investment esp early game that just feeds other guys caps huge exp.

If I remember right in the "fast expansion" game he didn't use any ships other than 5-6 scouts with his Progen for most of the expansion. He was also sitting on 40,000 credits by the end and didn't seem to feed or spend it on enough. I agree though that the game isn't that hard to pick up if you are used to RTS MP, read the forums, and watch replays. So Cameron, are you a new player or a vet smurfing with a new account? It's a bit deceiving to constantly maintain your record at 0-0 despite having played at least a handful of games.

I researched trade as soon as all the other necessities were paid for (planet development, single culture station, feed research) and built trade ports whenever I had a bit of income to spare. I'm not sure how I should have improved. What were you thinking I should have done?

Later in the game I did a poor job of using my excess funds from eco to build my own fleet or to feed allies. Unfortunately my allies had basically already won by that time so my so-called "fast" expansion didn't pay off much, except for the single Wail on Red-Ruby's fleet.

Vet is veteran

Lol.

Fyi I didn't watch the replay I just saw it from my point of view during the game.

Maybe It is my perception of time due to myself fighting and that is fooling me with the "fast" expansion.
Or it could be just me looking at stranger and then at vet and it was a big contrast in expansion speed.


I removed Kok from F-list coz of his retardness.

I do actully listen and I want to improve my game so feel free to give me more critic if you want too.

I will try to think about the siege thing.

If you have anything else you want to point out that you know I'm doing wrong i.e. Too late Unit transition, please Pm me Greg.
I bought my first sins game in July and in my own opinion I improved really fast but a couple of weeks ago it felt like I hit a brick wall and tbh I haven't improved since then. So as I said, advice will be very much appriciated.

I'd like to know who Brando is - he's got like 30 games played and I only saw him recently on ICO but he's friends with a lot of old time Sins pros. Hmmm....the plot thickens.

I was wondering that too.

[S] Borderline to [H] Contains eco and suecide.


It's a decent game tho in the end there is a desynch.

If u are new/newer and trying to improve I think is okay to watch because there is alot of good people playing in this game even tho I don't think that all of them are performing to their full extent.


Things worth checking out is how fast Carpet is researching his feed to help multiz and what it did to the game.

edit: added replay here

Ruby, if you have autosaves from games right before an MD or DC, can you please send them to Yarlen?

Reply #69 Top

type the adress where I should send them to or should I Pm them to him?

Can start doing this.

Also a game 2 days ago was finished without any MD. When I watched the replay I felt something was odd and 10-15min into the game things happned that didn't happen in the real game. In the real game my marza cleared 3 planets and got lvl 6 but in this replay it was dying coz it didn't clear the militia and the game mini dumped when the marza got down to 300hp.

That's a desync....that's really bad...you should get a warning when that happens and that you didn't get a warning is really bad...

Yes, you can PM the saves, dump files, and log files to Yarlen...log files are located in the "debug" folder (same directory as the "settings" folder)...you may have to change a line in your settings file to enable error logging...

I would do this myself but I don't play online anymore and my autosaves/log files are compounded with those from modding tests....

I don't think Hiroge, VeteranPlayer, etc. are on the forums, but it would be great if they (and other people who host a lot) would be willing to do the same....

The devs really want to see if these MDs are reproducible (ie if you loaded from an autosave and all 10 people rejoined, would you get the same MD) but I have a feeling that's asking too much from people....

Reply #71 Top

how can a replay desynch? U were in that game and the game ended without a MD. Replay was saved and when I was gonna upload it here I usually watch the content first so I did and in the replay the game wasn't as it actully was lol.

Which game are you referring to?  If it's the game I'm thinking of, I MDed or DCed, as did other people in the game (at the same time)...

A desync is not necessarily related to a MD or DC...idk why the replay shows a desynced recording but if someone else MDed or DC in the game that could be why....

Reply #73 Top

Refering to this game and this game goes on for a while before anyone md if anyone even Md.. I don't remember. However I don't minidump and thus my replay should be working correctly?

Here we got a great game with Me, JJ, Multiz, Doci and more.

So sad I didn't screenshot Kok's Nerdrage after the game when he realises I wasn't getting feed but still trying to make everyone think I Was by saying I was lying.

Replay here

We tried to enable error logging with devs when rebelion came out. First week or so....

Problem was that after enabled and with tick set to 1/3 of what it is by default (dont remember numbers) Even strong 4hz processors (1 had one) showed  very high load right after game started. Something like 30 -50 % if my memory serves me well and lagg was terrible...
