War Story

When we talk about naval civs and naval warfare, it’s quite obvious team 2 was a bit screwed. But with a lot of practice for WCL going around at the time of writing and the hereby belonging sling rule, people would just do about anything. And luckily it went crazy this time too. Team islands is generally grushing and grushing. A landing if possible but whoever controls the sea usually has the edge.

But what if you can double sling your Aztec ally so he can pump out elite eagles into the enemy’s fragile economies? Even though double slinging a meso civ isn’t extremely original on expert levels, it’s still hard to fend off, if executed right. The Aztec forced his 3 enemy players of their common island but they all landed on his home turf instead. This is where he made a drastic and probably selfish mistake. Once a slinged player is “up and running” he should sling his allies back. So they can quickly get into the game too to finish the job. But the Aztec kept all the resources for himself and eventually had to fight 3 fully boomed players with weakened allies by his side.

A great game and great fighting spirit, especially by _Ares_ who must be complimented for keeping his team mates sharp.

    Mate, any chance you have oldskool 1999-2001 games with players from clans like StorM, RCF,, NoX, WX, SHS etc. Or those famous 8 games with Dei clan(Malice, Danté, Koven etc).

    You men need to post up records of RuNNiNwilD from voobly and his FFA matches. He is an amazing player. I watched one match where he got 2v1ned twice in a ffa michi match and he also attack everysingle opponenet; no one else faught. And he won. If there is a way to find his old recorded games then please let me know, because his recs on voobly are expired or whatever. For some reason recs on voobly only last a certain amount of time.
