Want A Challenge? Try This!

I can build anything else. Including defenses. Any orbital at all. Advanced structures, eco, defenses, superweapons, and advanced bots.

Matter of fact, I can build basic and advanced air, vehicle, and naval factories as long as they never produce a unit. I can strategically use them to soak damage and block off parts of the map if I wish, the factories themselves are not an offensive unit, they are a structure.

I am just playing like I see it.

Just did it. It was pretty easy because the AI doesn't know how to defend against orbital.

The AI started out by attacking me with bots before I was ready. I dealt with it easily with my commander, and defensive structures at my expansions since bots can't deal with defensive structures. I got off planet pretty quickly and started building on the halley moon. While on the main planet I spammed out Anchors and the AI kept on running its units directly under them. I slowly anchor crept the AI and destroyed pretty much their entire base with the Anchors. Several times throughout this I attacked the base with bots (T1 and T2), doxes, grenadiers, some combat fabbers, slammers, bluehawks, and gil-es. The attacks were destroyed every time with ease by bombers. My attacks were just simply completely useless because I couldn't defend against air. Towards the end of the match when the enemy had no base, I attacked again with the bots and the commander took them all out solo just fine. Tanks would have killed the commander. I then won with a planet smash because I could.

My impression of bots: not good at attacking. Easily dealt with by a few defensive structures, especially if they get hit by bombers. I won with Anchors.

Side note, the AI could use some improvements in defending against orbital.

Here's the PA Stats: http://www.pastats.com/chart?gameId=180485

I recorded and talked through the whole thing and it's uploading now. I'll add it here when it's done.

I expanded a lot very fast, defended it with bots and aa turrets, teched to t2 economy, kept defending with giles and turrets, then got other 2 planets fast, then got anchors and flaks all around the planet and then eventually anchored his main base. Pretty easy .

Those anchors man... The AI doesn't know how to deal with them.

Now do it without orbital tech of any kind!

That'd be the real test of bots.

Single planet system, bots only.

So 30,000 booms then?

System to be used: Dust of Doom on the realm server on the system sharing mod.

lol

The AI doesn't really know how to handle a player rushing a single strategy, like bombers, booms, or anchors.

12 minutes. boom bots are amazing.

I just did it on challenge #1 dont let them leave planet

Added my video. Still processing, but viewable.

I know. And you rushed boom bots, which the AI is terrible at defending against.

I'll try taking this challenge on tonight, I'll even live stream it and post it on youtube for everyone to see my success(or failure).

I was able to do it (to my delight) earlier today. It's the second attempt. God, I love bomb bots.

Can anyone do no orbital, no booms?

The map shall be Dust of Doom on the realm system sharing server.

I'm working on a video for the ablegamers tournament, but I may end up taking a swing at that later.

I did the original challenge in 8:20 with commander + grenadiers.

NICE.

Christ I dragged my feet on this one, for 57 minutes straight.. But, I did it. Really, the thing that won it all things considered was the anchor. Really OP unit, a lot better balance since past itinerations, but the winning blow was delivered by halley VIA KEW Planet Smash.

Oh, I attempted booms, but was unable to ensure I could find the commander in time to use them, so I moved them to another planet and area patrolled to kill anything that lands. Next best use for them.
