GGs for last time. Don’t get much time to actually sit around and play anything. Organization is a little rough in the groups. Would definitely be on board for playing this on a more organized way.
I welcome any suggestions you have to making the clan more active. I actually have some changes in mind that I will elaborate on tomorrow.
Keits, sounds good! I booted you from my friends list because you were something like 20 days offline and I was hurting for space, lol. I’m good now though, I’ll send you an add when I log on tomorrow so we can get some games in.
BlackShinobi, thanks for the write-up! I’ll be sure to add your defense tactics to the second post.
The hosts have been PMed, this week’s schedule will be up tomorrow!
Princess Glitched so i tried something out and it worked pretty well.
I’m on blue and the blue princess glitched the only princess is the red princess in our castle. Red grabs the princess and i get her back. since red is probably going to all out rush now since theres nothing at their castle i just decided not to put her back down once i got to the castle. instead started playing sort of a moving command center which had 3 huge benefits.
-
since i was stuck in the castle because i had the princess i had nothing better to do than keep the map up on my screen, which means there is absolutely no element of surprise as to who is coming from where and what class they are. I would let everyone know how many and which class taking which route into the castle so we wouldn’t ever be caught off guard (Coco Cliff no direct catapult access).
-
The princess is on the move - if three workers are coming into the top of castle and everyone on my teams know it then i can take the princess to the bottom of the castle forcing them to fight through all of those people before they even get near her.
-
You have to kill me to get the princess - the other team can’t just run in and grab the princess with O and take off. In order to get the princess you have to either kill me or make me drop her. you can also get priest to give you a shield for an extra hit if someone is about to come in.
Just thought of this while I was writing, Why the hell am i carrying the prisoner back to a cell with a busted wall when I could take her to the top of the castle, which is much more secure, on deep fried. You only get 50 points for putting her back into the cell anyway. Theres better places to keep the prisoner on black forest too than directly next to that breakable cover and the top of the ship on Sugar cove is much more secure than the bottom since there is only one entry point.
I’m going to test it out today and see if people don’t lose their minds at me not putting the prisoner back in her cell.
If i dropped her there a bot would probably just bring her back though.
If you’re dealing with rusher, wouldn’t it be better to have 3 people pick up mage hats and charge the fire AOE in front of the princess. one can light up a worker and kill it by itself (if not shaken off) three at the same time will just be Cable going to grill protecting the fat girls. In that case, if you sense you’re gonna get rushed, start should be:
3 Mages around princess
4 Workers. 2 on each door.
4 warriors, 2 mages, 5 workers rushing to the center post, then as soon as doors finish the other 2 more can rush from the door to go mine. which leaves 3 people around the princess guarding that shit and trading off to upgrade hats.
First upgrade could be either workers or rangers since their shotgun charges faster than the fire and wrecks as much havoc. Bit doubtful on the worker upgrade since it is hard as shit to aim bombs online.
One of the people inside the castle could double back as general overlooking the map every 20 seconds so we can get positions. Also this shit up there is just the hypothetical.
Well the whole strategy depends on how many people you have on the same page and which map you’re on. Worker should still be the first upgrade though since the best rush stopper IMO is a lv1 mage and the worker upgrade helps offense and resource collecting. Defense doesn’t need to be overloaded it just has to be good.
You still need that C.O. and you still need to get the other team’s princess so getting your defense to work with as few people as possible it the best thing you can do. Yesterday I held off a team of skilled rushers for about 5 minutes each game by myself playing just worker and fire mage. It was literally me two randoms and 13 bots against an 16 player team with organized rushers.
BTW if you want to work on defending try that. play a few winning games until the teams get completely unbalanced and then switch to the empty team right before time runs out. If the other team is any good you won’t have any choice but to guard the princess, since the rushers will destroy the bots if you leave the castle.
I pretty much played defense the whole week, still not my thing but, i did get better at it.
If anyone wants to add someone who plays often and has a mic, I’m your guy.
The villager start up rush isn’t that dangerous, imo. Like someone already said one mage could defend the princess, you burn them with the fully charged AoE spell as soon as they’re in range and another half charge will kill them. I’m pretty sure the fully charged one would kill the villager.
I think the 2nd upgrade always has to be the mage. The ice mage upgrade is vital for defense of the castle/base, bringing back your prisoner and combat defense.
Freezing those pesky bombs that might break open your castle doors or your castle or not having a group of your teammates die because of that bomb that no one sees goes off and storming the castle and having the ice mage go first and freeze a couple of them with the fully charged AoE and grabbing and hearting the princess with at least one person is a good idea, imo. It’s worked a ton of times for me.
Broccoli crew vs Titan 5 on 5 match
http://www.youtube.com/user/Aiml3ess
the middle part of that fat princess civil war vid is hilarious
that really cool did you watch their Fat Princess 300 vid
That’s some nice stuff there. I saw somethings that I never would’ve thought of. Thanks for linking.
the 300 one gave me an error earlier i just watched it.
i figured out that wood trick last week, looks like they beat me to it.
oh well I’ve got a couple more. learned something new that should have been common sense from someone on my friends list.
there a second vid of the match on that site.
Theres two things new players should definitely take from it though.
- watch how often they check the map. thats probably how often everyone should be checking the map, although most people don’t. If your not doing something that requires 100% attention check the map for half a second.
- watch how far the healers are from the runner so they can still heal without getting hit. I’ll throw worker bombs at the person carrying the princess just to kill the healer next to him all the time.
Also some carrying the princess things that keeps happening
things people still don’t know online
- Press O to help someone carry and speed them up when they have the princess - its in the tutorial screens, its crazy how many people still don’t know that.
- Please don’t escort a damaged runner with a dark priest - aside from people not pressing circle this has to be the most maddening part of this issue. and it happed to me 4 time in 6 games yesterday. if you’re with the if someone just got out of the castle with the princess the first thing you should do is make sure they get healed so they can make it back to the castle because they probably took some damage getting her out. I had four different people in 4 games run up next to me when I had less than one heart and start draining the people chasing me. I died all 4 times and the other team got the princess back when i would have made it if they had healed me instead.
- Let the runner pick the path - if someone picks up the princess let them get back to the castle their way. I’ve caught myself doing this one. if your helping someone else run all that will happen from you trying to go your way is that you will end up separating far enough from them that the heart will break and they will slow down. even something as small as going around a hat machine a hat machine on two different sides can slow the runner down and cause everyone to die.
Edit: There is a gimmick on Deep fried, i’ve done it twice now, but i can’t figure out how to do it consistently. its fairly broken too if i can get it to be reliable.
Got the game
EC | BGLaugher ~ ColdVendeta
I was playing a game with and against the broccoli crew. I got kicked after a I successfully stopped a rush.
I sent them a message after telling them if that’s how they win so much, they kick out any competent player.
Turns out it was a different host not affiliated with the crew.
Anyway, we chatted for a bit after and they’re up for any challenges.
Would anyone be interested in a match against the Broccoli crew?
Maybe team SRK vs The Broccoli crew if we can get enough people?
ah that sucks man this clan really went down after the summer since a lot of people have to go to school again and such
Hi Guys, I just got home from a week in Florida.:party:
I’m REALLY beat right now because I’ve been sitting in the airport since 1PM and I didn’t just get home until moments ago (11PM). I have some ideas for the clan that I will be posting up tomorrow, I have a lot to say and some changes in mind.
Cheers.
I play them fairly often now, i doubt any of them would kick you for grabbing a princess or stopping a rush.
so it most likely was a stupid host.
Theres other good crews popping up too, this game is starting to shape up nicely.
Yeah, like I said we exchanged messages and it turned out being another host, I apologized after.
But it seemed really fishy after I killed two of them who had an open path to the princess and just after I did it, I get kicked.
Just got the game. Loads of fun. Would love to get in on some cake action.
WC- The Deadpool - ellissong
I finally got the game, sorry for the long delay. not sure what coast, I’d say WC though since it’s my closest
WC | Mr. Bastos ~ MrBastos
So whats the chances of getting some SRK 5 on 5 action? it might be fun. Plus i keep hearing how different it is from 16 vs 16 but i haven’t tried it yet.
