KoK goes Full ****** in eco spot

March 24, 2013 2:21:13 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

What do you do when you host a game and then you get the eco slot?  Start feeding people.  That's all fine and good, but wouldn't it make sense to at least colonize your asteroid and your moon and perhaps to slowly take some other planets while you build up your eco and feed?  Judiciously colonizing planets and building trade ports on them is not that huge of an impediment to feeding your team, certainly not when you're TEC.

In tonight's game, King of Kings started out in an eco slot and failed to colonize any planets at all (!!!)  Now, I can appreciate the value of early feed, but would it really be that tough to go colonize your moon and your asteroid?  Do you really want to allow a player on the opposing team to colonize your moon and culture bomb you without a fight?  (Yes, that really happened, his one planet was being overrun by enemy culture.)  When I saw that he only had his home terran I thought for sure we were desynced.  We weren't.  It's a shame because it could have been a good game if he had tried.

lol dirty it was just one incident so you want to justify you shouldn't just let anyone join a game? Take it easy. It's a just a game but now you know how to deal with him next time. Don't kick people Dirty! Everybody needs a chance to get to know how to play the game but the worst part is those who don't play single player games with unfair ai's then want to join pro games online.

Clearly RiddleKing is not familiar with KoK's long history of "innovative" strategies....

Well KoK has 2 strategies he uses nowadays almost exclusively both involve capping 0 planets.

1. Rush ankylon + some carriers/ hcs and get blocked in on the hw

or

2. Rush Sova/Kol + vettes to double the closest guy etc... Leave/flame when it fails

 

I have yet to see it work even against players i would consider low/mid skill. Position is irrelevant, last game he doubled me with gibbs from eco spot with lvl 3 kol + vettes, failed, flamed his ally and left.

 

I have yet to see kok either win a game or be useful in the last month, but smth always makes me join his game or make room for him in mine... no idea what it is!

Most normal people just stop playing when they lose interest.

Are they blocking out a word for mentally deficient people now or did Dirty self censor himself?

As a member of the education system, I will inform you all that the phrase of choice is now "Intellectually Disabled" instead of "Mentally Retarded"...

The title was a reference to a famous line from the movie Tropic Thunder.  It looks like the moderators thought it was inappropriate.

I'd refrain from kicking him from games, but it is advisable to kick his ass.

I am having a hard time grasping the fact of anything associated with Tropic Thunder being 'famous'. But I am sure posts like this will decline and will return to "how come nobody plays multi-player, it's sooo much better than playing the AI".

You upgrade your STARBASE strike craft, not make carriers.

Carriers are the norm so stop kissy kissy with them. Ten carriers are for trolls and laughs for Vasari because who doesn't want 10 repair clouds , 10 scramble bombers  to the power phase missile trollz.

If KoK picked me for his team I always chose TEC, SB all his stuff and wait for the right moment to push the button. Funnily, he never learned his lesson.
