I'm not rude. Kicking noobs from skilled games isn't rude it's reality.

If u want to play with the skilled u can't come here and say 'if u act like this, I will be willing to take help from you because i'm being a stubborn baddie'

U just have to accept that ur bad and start asking for help.
You're in no position to make demands.
Just saying.

The first step the new players need to do to improve is to lose their ego and understand that if ur gonna raise a child u can't give them icecream everytime they cry for it.

I also want to add that lakemas/maslake. Coming into my replay thread in the begining of september. Requesting more replays. He is really good now and could probably beat most regular Ico people.

Boopoo, also in the begining of September. He had really bad ICO experiences with me. I was very harsh and hard against him.
He went to the thread, added me on steam and asked for advice. He whisperd me after games we played even if I flamed him.
Now he is playing skilled games and noone is questioning if he can join or not.

He realised he was bad. He understood that to be able to improve he must eat the shit sandwich.
Now he shits gold.

If any of the regulars want me to look into their gameplay, I'll be happy to do that too once I have time

This is true. 

Some people don't like Red and think his vagina is bleeding but he only means the best for noobs like I was and he is imo a HUGE contributor to the SOASE community. 

-Hosting fast and good games. 

-Giving advice to new players. 

-Making threads and one of the few to post insightful replays. 

Great thread and keep em coming for the newbies. 

Noone?
Any regulars that want's some improvement feel free to post please!

I'm still up for direct connect games, Goa, if we get enough people on TS...

Pfft, your Kols are no match for my unbeatable quadruple Marauder rush...

Review for Atlantis


I'm going to use same format as Slayer used to write Boopoo's review.


0-1 Min: U queue alot of frigates, something you should avoid doing. You open with 1 civlab and no mil lab on frontline.
When your first capital ship is ~55% done u can scuttle the capital ship factory as you will not need it in the next 30-60 min. You should also build a Fighter on Caps when expanding and not a bomber. Fighters>LRM & Krosovs.

1-2 Min: You still haven't scuttled the cap factory and you haven't gotten a single Civ research. You placed 2 turrets at the roid you sniped when you only need 1. If you place that turret bad tho, You could need a 2nd but it's very rare.


2-3 Min: You send the cobalts alone towards the volc on your side. IMO you should skip that and go straight for the Moon then try to grab BOTH volcs leading to Gunmetal.

3-4 Min: Your missionary vessel on roid should either move around and avoid as much fire as possible untill the cobalt and krosov are dead or jump to another gravity well i.e. homeworld. You also queue up 2 lvls of infrastructure on the Moon where you only need 1 level. Spending 500 cred 175 Met and 125 crystal early for a population upgrade you won't reach in the next 10minutes is waste.

4-5 Min: You start building your 2nd lab. Which is a Mil Lab. You haven't scuttled the Cap Fac yet nor are have you researched anything from the civ section. As I said earlier you sent in those cobalts alone without scouts or corvettes that could kill LRM. Thus you are losing some discs now to the Militia on the volc that have a LRF. Scouts got same dmg type as corvettes and Fighters therefore they're great vs LRM and Krosovs.

5-7 Min: Now you lost a handfull of discs on the volc. If u woulda had let's say 5 discs and 5 scouts instead. Then u coulda lost next to nothing.
Ur fighting the Militia on the other volc with your progen. As I see it you micro nothing there. Kill Krosovs and LRM-->Colonize--->Jump to next well. You haven't built your 2nd civ lab yet and that means you can't colonize any of the volcs that you put time into killing.

7-10 Min: You have 1 free logislot on Moon, 1 on Roid and a potential logislot on HW if you scuttle that Cap fac.
With that you could do 1 civ lab, culture, and another mil lab.
In Total I think 5 of ur discs died. counting the credits only you have 250x5=1250 credits wasted.
You choose to upgrade fleet supply, even tho your not gonna fleet in the next 2 minutes and you still have a couple of slots left to fill. Also a thing to think twice about.

10-15 Min: Now I see that you choose to fleet from the Moon. which I would not have done under any circumstances when you have 1 civlab already and 2 volcs leading to Gunmetal.
If you woulda colonized faster and made a plan in your head on what to do next all the time IMO U coulda had both volcs and been fleeting 1 jump away from him by now.
Again your queuing up 30 corvettes. 4-6 is enough and the rest of the resources should be put into research i.e. Hull upgrade and Weapon(LASER)
The first hullupgrades should be gotten asap but with disc vett spam IMO you should focus getting the first 4 weapon upgrades as soon as possible.
13minutes in you finally start building your 2nd civ lab.




15-20: You Colonize the volcs. Great, you set up your 2nd Mil Lab. Queuing up research(don't) Dronehosts and repair. Repair is great but u should wait with dronehosts.
Focus on getting Weapon Shield and Hull upgrades to atleast LVL 2 tier weapons full, lvl 2 tier shields, lvl 3 tier hull. That is 4 upgrades each.
You sit at the volc with your fleet for a long time. Also a waste of time. Quoting Greg: Time is the 4th resource in Sins.
You forget to upgrade infra on volc. And you ask for feed. You are not in need of feed and therefore you should let the eco expand his eco to be able to feed more.
I'm getting sandwiched beacuse you are moving to slow and therefore I would need the feed more then you.

20-?: U put up factory on the volc closest to you instead of closest to him. You still haven't gotten any weapon research or hull/shields.
Culture could been researched and gotten and so could the terran pop upgrade.
Still forgot about the volc infrastructure.








Conclusion: You need to do alot more planning IMO. You also need to practice how to colonize faster and some micro, what to FF first when colonizing i.e. Krosovs->LRM->jump away->turrets->Turretskill->scuttle turrets.

IMO as advent you should stick with 2 facs and 1 Mil lab untill you improved.
scuttle cap fac and stop queuing up units and research. Spend on the go.
26minutes in my hw got 2k hp left and your just about to jump into Guns.
The 1250 creds that got wasted on Discs could be used on building 6 scouts to go with the discs. The scouts should kill LRM then krosovs then you should just leave the planet and let the colo frigate colo then turrets.
AVOID UPGRADING LOGISTIC IF U STILL HAVE FREE LOGISLOT ELSEWHERE

Questions?

and thank you 

I always make bombers on my caps and send them specifically at the LRMs followed by the siege frigs. 

EDIT: for colonization purposes.... against occupied planets kill the constructors first before anything else.
