Icy Dice - A Podcast About Major Command

[riskyone]

Bump.

I'm halfway through, so I just wanna bump the thread so others can see it again if they missed it the first time.

I'm also at the half way point. First let's give once and clarkenfeld their due. You guys tried to write them off, but pens run out of ink. Second I agree with Tape about the Mars rocket shooters not being as big of an advantage. Notice how owning all 3 special regions mentioned only added 1% more to the winning % over having two. Here is a point that won't help with individual games, but maybe each team plays a going first game. If they split then at least each time had one shot at first. Now either do it again or figure out a tie breaker, like who won in the quicker amount of rounds gets to go first for the tie breaker. Like, dislike?

Thank you Bear and Tape. I appreciate your work/fun/comments on the Mars games. Look forward to the next episode even though it will mention Ros and my demise at the hands of the DBL L Squad May DBL L Squad represent our side of the brackets because they beat us.

Thanks th-child, clarkenfeld, and riskyone. We'll talk soon.

I've been listening to the rough cut of #3, which is all about teamwork. I'm proud of my rambling!

Good points on coloring each team similar colors or shapes for analyzing the map. It seems obvious but it's critical for anyone who is not doing it. It really does not take very long to do at the beginning of each game and is critical to success. I'm having a lot of fun with team games but i think i can be a handful for anyone on my team. Lack of communication is definitely not a problem here, especially in games that i'm very interested in. The multi-team team games are the most fun for me while i look at team vs team games as sort of easy games, easy strategy... and easy UDO's. I'm also a fan of paying attention to games when they first start up and coming up with plans as the first few turns are the most critical and could most benefit from coordinated reinforcement.

 

[empirejeff]

Teams being different shapes on classic massive is actually a good idea.

 

[The-Swede]

If the color options are not the greatest for the map then i will color each team the same color and scroll over individual players to highlight there regions and assess things that way. If possible though i try to get each team some shade/shape/similarity of the same color.

"Kill engelbrekt" hahaha!!! That's the best advice ! I'll keep that in mind since he is often my teammate ! LOL!

 

[Tapeworm]

Sorry for the lack of production- I figured I'd share what I have for the hell of it, and because we're both busy guys and haven't found time to continue with this. We recorded that back on May 11.

And oh boy do I have a lot of false starts and dead ends. I badly need an editor. I get going better about ten minutes in, but I'm still waking up and not sharp to start.
