Lifetime Rating for Executor: 5.5000 |  | Hello everybody I am going to try to write my first CC2 battlereport so please don't be too harsh =)
Recently my good friend Alex bought a tiberian sun and challenged me to a 1vs1 modem game. He claimed he could kick my ass in 5 min of course I agreed and the battle started.
Game Info
Player 1 - Executor
Side: NOD
Player 2 - Alex
Side: GDI
Map: River Runs Near it
starting credits 10,000 (hey I am still a newbie!)
Starting position: bottom left
After deploying my MCV I sent a bike scouting unfortunantly it took me long time to find Alex and finally after a long time I found him top left position and my bike was promptly dipatched by light infantry but I saw a War Factory and several guard towers...
Meanwhile while this was going on I hadn't been Idle in my base I built Hand Of NOD several laser turrets many cyborgs to protect my harvester (cyborgs heal on tiberium for those who don't know) and my second refinery was almost built. Suddenly I hear scream: "Base Under Attack" I see my base is being attacked by 2 titans and 3 wolverines. Wolverines are staying behind while Titans are shooting the crap out of my turrets (If you put titan at a right angle he JUST outranges a laser turret. I am very pissed off and my cyborg reinforcements arrive just as my second turret falls.
He wisely retreats after losing 1 titan and 1 wolverine.
Next 30 min of the game were quite uneventful we had occasional skirmishes but that was it. I decide it would be a good idea to take over his construction yard with underground APC rush. But not only he had mobile sensor array he also had put concrete around his CY. Furious I still surfaced and my troops were mauled by 5 titans and all I was successful in capturing was power Plant. :(
My base meanwhile is getting more and more power ful : I have obelisks missile silo and started on my stealth generator. To discourage Airstrikes I put several SAM sites around my base (which wasn't that necessary since I had Stealth Generator)
I scout his base with a suicidal bike and discover the worst: He is preparing for MM2 drop (for those who don't know what it is it is a big ass MECH who shoots the crap out of anything that gets into his way). I decide that airpower would be useful and build several banshees (I love those Planes. He attacks!!! But no drop is made because SAMs and Stealths! He just tries to take my base by frontal assault... and achieves nothing since I have been ready for that monster and built super heave defense of laser turrets and Obelisks also some tick tanks (Tick Tank = Siege Tank in SC hehe). The bottom line was his attack was defeated meanwhile My Cluster Bomb is ready....
I have noticed the fact that he built his power plants quite close to each other so i have an idea 8 Banshees soon leave him witout his CY and cluster bomb is launched on his power plants... At that point Alex nearly conceeds but then changes his mind since he sold some stuff to get him back to sufficient power and after he is done only his several small power plants 2 refineries and 3 harvesters and 2 barracks and a warfactory and some defenses remain
sonnhe has no longer factory since I have gone banshee happy and have aboout 10 by now I attacked and destroyed many of his defenses and was preparing my Cyborg Commando with Tick Tanks/Flame Tanks to finish his base off...
If you think that report was one sided its not over I wasn't aware of a fact that my stealth generators didn't cover my entire base you could still see a small bit which Alex used to his advantage. Unknown to me he had a Ghost Stalker and a Transport so he drops my base which is practically defenseless (my obelisks were at my base entrance and he dropped at the back :() His ghost stalker reduces half of my buildings to wreckage with his C4 explosives including adv power Plants making my obelisks useless. 6 of my remaining banshees killed the little bastard but now I had low power no CY 1 refinery left no factories and useless stealth generator. By the way I still had my banshees and cyborg commando + 10 tick tanks and 3 flame tanks along with some cyborgs.
END GAME
I bring my tanks to his entrance and deploy them trying to use cyborgs to lure enemy forces towards me. It worked very well as a huge bunch of disk throwers launched themselves against me but he lost his sensor array and had no way of knowing that my flame tanks were right beneath him. I unburrowed and incinirated most of his infantry then I charged into the base killing refineries and barracks I accomplished this at the cost of my attack force. Alex counter attacks but He is killed By laser turrets ( they don't need power to fire). With No income no production facilities and trashed defense with banshees bombarding his remaining structures Alex conceeds giving me a well deserved victory.
Lessons learned
1. Bansheed are very usefull
2. Missile Silo is usefull
3. if Alex built more air defense he would have won
4. If you start a game of TS its going to be a long one (mine lasted nearly 2 hours)
5. Take what isn't yours (hijack enemy harvester I have to try that sometime)
6. Beware of drops 1 ghost stalker and your base is rubble!
I will try to add pics in my next report (the battle was so intense that I totally forgot to take screenshots. Hell i thought i wasn't going to report this but I liked it so much that I decided to report it)
Don't be too harsh with comments this is my first time!
