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 skilledSkilled [S] 7 or moreRegular[R] 6 or lessEDITED 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/CrystalVs 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.

I think that was the desync logging, which causes extreme lag. Error logging is enabled by setting the "ShowErrors" line in your settings file to ShowErrors TRUE. This just generates a text document of events in game, and can be done with or without the dev.exe. The resulting log file can be read by notepad and will go in your debug folder.
Yeah you are right. I think I'm getting mild case of Alzheimers.
Better see me or Greyfox for an appointment
Fakken terrorists stop hijacking my thread
Where is foxy haven't seen him for ages.
Greg and/or slayer can you please vouch for me in the goldlist thread? I'm in a corner crying over here
[S] borderline to H maybe. My last game was an ok game untill a player minidumps.Efe manages to stay in the game for quiet a while.I've said it before and I really think 3-2 is better then 4-1. this game got:* Suecide spot* Early titans* 3 eco slot players* Greg craving Maw* 280cred/sec* Zoomers* Minidumpreplay here
[S] Eco and suecideThis game got some good players but sadly it's quite mediocre in my opinion. there is an early md but imo it wouldn't had matterd because the ai is probably better then the player itself.IMO the game is over quite fast but it's was dragged out. Still resulting in some nice actions. replay can be found here
was like 3v5. kok 'md'd and then galaxy sat there all game letting greg eco
true trueee. As I said, game had some potential but was mediocre.Sadly most replays with alot of good players that finish without MD result in a md after the game finish and the replays is unusable.
[R]Some skilled players but due to the amount of noobs in this game I label it R. nothing special about this game tbh. Probably woulda been a diffrent story if one of the teams eco wouldn't been clueless. Replay here
[S] EcoFastpaced game. Hopefully enjoyablereplay here
Hello Red-Ruby,
How would you have played galaxy's position in the replay under reply #84? Would you have been more aggressive
in taking the terran world and asteroid, then push towards the choke pt dwarf planet or would you have bypassed the ice
world to get to choke pt. dwarf planet before diehard gets it.?
Your wisdom is greatly appreciated. I also enjoy watching your replays. They are like crack cocaine to me. I need my
fix. Thanks.

Hi backup, So I'm watching the replay right now and first of all I would like to point out that opening with 2 caps isn't viable and its totally not a way to go in a situation like that. Also took him a while to scuttle the cap fac which is something u should do instantly after ur 1st cap (or 2nd if ur gonna go with 2)Galaxy is researching all the researchs in everytier. Something u shouldn't do either. U should focus on 1 weapontype IF u can do that.If ur going cobalts and vettes laser is the way to go. He researchs flak frigates even tho greg is fielding ~65 cobalts. Anyway I would either • Skip the ice completly and jumping my cap straight to the Moon.• Skip the ice but clear militia first.• Gone for civ labs and colonized it but as Greg is sova rushing and there is only 3 jumps to the ice from his Hw this would be very stupid. Civ labs as opening in general is stupid if ur not eco slot so I don't advice you to do this.I'm in good mood today so I'm going to show you with pictures what I woulda done with the roid next to the terran.
Okey by moving it to the edge like this and not just sending it u save some hull and shieldpoints. Why U need it to lose as little as possible is because I would send it totally alone. Okey when it arrives in the well of the roid, it will have ~30-40 antimatter. U need to run around the well with it for a while, the best way to do this is shift commands like I show in the picture. When It got 90 Antimatter, u colonize the planet, upgrade it's infrastructure and a defense turret close to the roid/moon facing the krosov(siege ship)It will kill the krosov and the krosov won't have time to bomb the planet and then u can scuttle the colony frigate and the turret will finish the cobalt aswell. Just by looking at the map we can see that it favors Greg alot. But this is almost 45minutes in and Galaxy haven't colonized that ice. If u decide to not colonize it, which U should do atleast before 30minutes in that situation IMO. Anyway if u choose not to, he should aim for the dessert planet connected to gregs hw and set up a forward base there, Trying to force the opponent back. However the ideal thing to do in a map situation like this is to skip imo. He shoulda gone straight for Moon, sniping the roid next to the terran as I showed in the pictures and when he wouldn't been in a situation where he would lose roid by going civ labs, i.e. when his fleet got a nice strenght, I would have my opponent scouted and try to colonize the ice's and the volcanic. The terran could be colonized using 6-10 scouts and a couple of vettes with a colony frigate. Killing the krosovs, colonize the planet and then use the remaining vettes+scouts to kill the lrm while setting up turrets(2-4) for the flak/Kodiaks/cobalts.Conclusion.•Galaxy seems quite clueless what to do here. •He lets Greg eco. But he is neither ecoing and colonizing or going for a stronger fleet. You should pick one, I would do the latter. •He wastes TONS of resources on research he isn't getting any big benefits from. •He isn't moving fleet. •He is not scouting. Also, ALWAYS expand towards ur opponent. The cap should go the way ur gonna fight instantly and not any other way. Like an adjecent Terran in the other direction. That Moon is a REALLY good chokepoint as the only way the opponent woulda gotten to you would be trough a dessert and a ice. By the time that would happen U coulda taken the first ice. So I would focus on Moon and the backroid for logistic slot. With the amount of Cobalts greg was fielding he shoulda gotten LRM way earlier then 30minutes+ in.
if galaxy kept greg quiet, might have had 10% chance winning
[S] borderline to high. Auqia, Slayer, Howthe, Nayru, Alot of good players in this game but its somewhat onesided on most fronts. Replay hereAlso to all noobs following this thread. Please register on the forum and feel free to ask questions here. I check out the thread everyday eventho I'm not uploading every day.
I don't know if YouTube vids are accepted here, but they have the extra advantage that they don't become useless when a new patch comes out or ruined when someone minidumps. This was a flagship victory, the first time I've seen it seriously used on ICO.
Part 2
I recorded in game. I use MSI Afterburner, it's free and if it works well for me. The only thing is that after recording I have to use another program to reduce the quality and resolution to a point where my internet connection can upload it in a decent amount of time (The final raw video was 23GB total for about 2 hours, reducing it to "Youtube" high quality resolution put it at 1GB). A program like Fraps has the same issue though.
The only thing you could do is record while watching the replay like you suggest. That however will remove the replay's greatest strength, which that you can look around at will and from any player's perspective. No matter how you do a video you're only going to get what's on the recording player's screen.
