This is super exciting! Are there usually any live streams associated with this? Hearing pigsoup or Tric or others associated w/ this talking on Twitch would be super cool! (Or even a YouTube video).

Keep up the good work everyone!

Guys, he probably is just salty because he lost a match to a comeback.
No reason to argue about that.

If you play solid and your enemy has zero territory, you will win, if not, you threw it because you started doing dumb crap when you thought that the game could not be lost anymore.

If I was a mod still, I would close this topic.

This site should have an agony aunt thread for this sort of stuff

It would be nice :/

Well, it's actually the first point. I only play 1vs1. And people literally hide them until there are two or three, all while losing the entire map.

Which is why this doesn't make sense to me.

The opponent basically just loses the entire map to my overwhelming infantry and tactics, and yet still produces two huge tanks that steamroll everything. With a fuel point in the enemy's hands, that number increases to three or even FOUR huge tanks.

This has nothing to do with winning or losing, nor with relaxing and expecting the match to be won.

It just doesn't make any sense to me why players aren't punished for losing the entire map.

What incentive is there to capture territory at all like this?
Why should I expect ANY tanks if I dominate resource points?

I specifically started experimenting and playing full defense, letting my opponent have resources on his half of the map and... there's no difference.

They still bring out tanks, and I still either demolish them or get demolished by them depending on the map and faction in question. But the outcome is the same, regardless of whether the opponent managed to maintain a fair amount of point control or lost the entire map.

Seems to go against the core mechanics of point control. And I'm not even talking about non-fuel and non-munitions point control. That doesn't seem to have any impact whatsoever. People literally leave non-fuel/non-munitions points uncapped for half the game in some Propagandacasts I've seen...

Well, I know you're a fan of Imperial Dane. But you haven't posted a replay and your first few posts on .org were basically bashing Relic. I don't know why you keep wasting your time on here if you don't want anyone to review your replays.
Sometimes people will save a cheap tank, like a T34/76 or, maybe, if they have lots of fuel, a T70, but high level players will usually bring a tank onto the field ASAP in order to maximize its shock value, especially light tanks. Sometimes that doesn't mean bringing the tank into combat. Players will often leave a tank behind an important point and if you don't send anything over there, you won't find the tank.

that doesn't makesense to anyone ,let share the replay to us atleast

Upload the replay so we can actually see what you are talking about because in my experience if you are dominating you opponent and actually being aggressive, there is little they can do (unless they are outplaying you, in which case you are probably not dominating them).

Storm Elite, if you don't understand why cutting off territory "doesn't work" then you don't understand how the resources work in game. Here's a quick rundown. Players get +4 fuel for owning 0 territory. 300 manpower/ minute and +0 muni. Each point increases fuel income by 3/minute and munitions income by 6/minute. Players have a maximum popcap of 100. For every 1 popcap, 1.5 manpower/minute is deducted from the starting manpower rate of 300/minute.

Every three seconds, VPs are deducted. Here's a chart.
You: Opponent: Result:
3 VP 0 VP -3 VP opponent
2 VP 0 VP -2 VP opponent
1 VP 0 VP -1 VP opponent
2 VP 1 VP -1 VP opponent
1 VP 1 VP -0 VP
1 VP 2 VP -1 VP you
0 VP 1 VP -1 VP you
0 VP 2 VP -2 VP you
0 VP 3 VP -3 VP you


Edit:

If you like Imperial Dane so much, here's a video of his. Have you seen it?

I uploaded this replay.

  Why I love CoH2

Dane saw it and then for some reason decided to cast it. I dunno why he did, but he did. Maybe if you upload your replays then he'll decide to cast them too.

Yeah? Blame the organizers for suggesting it and not Barton. Last time I checked we blamed AE for making piss poor decisions, not DevM.

Are we talking about the GCS finals or something?

also, I made a thread about this but it got locked and made invisible because I wanted to petition the US gov't for sanctions against him for not doing it :/

This is a real cool idea but, unfortunately, I don't see Relic releasing any new game-altering content, only skins, decals, faceplates, etc. It's just super late in coh2s cycle and rumour is running around that coh3 is being developed.

Some brutal RNG in the beginning, relying on ~mostly~ solid micro to hang on to those precious few territory points, then powering through the mid game with some Ostruppen.

Lightning War vs. Heavy Cav. ~150 rank with each faction. This is definitely worth a watch
