I was swarmed by a whole bunch of flying bugs, and all I had was a single rusty sword.  I ended up knocked out, lost two shortcut options on my elevators, and 700G I could ill afford to lose vanished from my wallet.  I also lost an inventory item, but thankfully it was nothing too important. 

Oh, and I apparently got kicked in the head by the person who accidentally stumbled across me.

Daily puzzle regimen which is the only way to get around the paywall without actually paying. A slightly higher reward is given if you complete it within two minutes.

I filled in the last square of the last puzzle and glanced down at the clock. It said 2:01.

Archer flush, archer flush, archer flush, archer flush.

They don't always take me out, but I die a little inside every time I see a mining camp going up at nine minutes.

I haven't played AOE2 in too long, what's a flush?  Sounds like a rush.  I guess archers require stone?  I thought just wood and food...

A Flush is a feudal rush. Don't ask me where they got the 'l' from, but everything else should make sense.

Also archers cost wood and gold, not food or stone. You're probably confusing them with skirmishers, which require wood and food and are pretty terrible except against archers. The reason that archer flushes are fairly common is because they don't cost food, meaning that you can build them without hampering your transition into the castle age too much, where you can then upgrade them to crossbows which is a noticeable spike in their power.

My colony is going good, i finaly had a good week of rest to fix up my colonist, repair my building and finaly start working toward improving my colonist life then a raid comes in! Alright tribespeople nothing to worry about with a flamethrower shotgun and assault rifle. Enlist them setup a firing line with minimal cover since they had only 3 archer and about 10 melee. As i start flaming them to hell another raid from the other side of the map... this time they are much more military than i am with sniper rifles assault rifles and so on... i try to find a place where i can ambush them. After sending the tribes back to hell i had little time to relocate. Sadly some of my force was a little to late and i took some bad injuries to some of my colonist, about 14 enemy cam in each wave. Fine ill soak the injury and the 2-3 days it will take to fix my colonist up.

Bad thing is its been a whole day of fighting, nobody had time to themself for joy, they are hungry, morale about to break they are angry. Fight is over anyway lets fix all that. As my colonist are moving back to their home another raid starts! Really? 3 in a single day? This time only zombies... man there is about 20 of them and i dont have enough colonist to points guns at them as 2 of them are unable to walk.... that leave me with 3 injured colonist and 1 not injured but he is melee.... Thats gonna be fun....

No rest for these brave soldiers about to go beserk on each other. Lets hope i make it. I send my melee guy in front to get the zombie to run after him while my firing line pick them off. He goes beserk.... turn around and start meleeing about 15ish zombies. He is a goner. The rest of the firing line managed to take them all while retreating back those who came too close to the zombies. Now 3 injured colonist goes back to bed.

Just before sunrise ANOTHER GOD DAMN RAID!!!! thats 4 in less than frigging 24hr.... about 20 armed to the teeth crazy bastard running straight toward the colony where i have one beserking in his room, an injured medic trying to tend all wounds, about to pass out of exaustion and it leaves me with 1 fighting capable soldier....  I tried a last ditch effort in the dorm room and as you guess... i had no chance. The game basicly went you played enough, SCRAM!

I played hard game but right here right now i believe its something that only happend when the game is out to eat your face....... I am sooo savescumming this because come on now... 4 raid about 40+ enemy sent at you when your total colony size is about 6? Geezzz gimme a break now...

Endless Sky
Shuttles for the win :3
I had no weapons and boarded the enemy as my weapon and then my ship had weapons \o/ (then I moved up from there).


Trolgar//Wanderer factions have especially deadly firepower at short range [wherein the map tile usually has only a tiny range of movement and the speed between ships is subtle in difference]--they focus on projectile weaponry! These weapons deal high damage to a ship's hull, but low damage to a ship's shields.

This inverse proportion is somewhat waived in later campaign sections [since it's randomized every playthrough], so getting into close range with a bunch of these ships can rip even Heavy Cruiser Carriers (which have 1.6k hp as compared to the 40/40 hull/shield damage a flak cannon can do) in 3 seconds.

I had one of my cohort ships shredded to pieces despite fighter screen cover in these cases .-.

I designed an ultra light rocket. I was sick of the never ending "more boosters - more mass - need more boosters" race. I was going to get into orbit for less than 10k credits, dammit!

The rocket ended up going very fast. It went up so fast, in fact, that it smacked against the atmosphere and exploded.

Saved a Sgt Hammer from a Nova triple tap.  I was falstad and did a clutch dash bodyblock and intercepted the last two hits of triple tap at the very last second.   It may have very well been down to the last frame.  Since triple tap friggin hurts, I went to hide in a bush to recall.  Hammer did the same only somewhere else.

Hammer asked me to marry her.  I responded that "whoever marries the dwarf must marry the bird" while charging the recall.

Then Nova, apparently pissed off that I blocked an easy kill found me in the bush and shot me in the face on the last second of the recall.  If I wasn't typing I might have seen her.

Feudal Rush, I think. Also it's easier to say than 'frush'.

The main thing with it, Rolan, isn't so much that it's a rush - it's just that it's the optimal strategy, which means that I play against it somewhat more often than every second game. The mining camp is to take gold - it's usually possible to call an opponent's strategy pretty confidently if you know what you're doing, and in all but a few fringe cases (Celt or Goth man-at-arms rushes, mainly) a mining camp somewhere between nine and eleven minutes is a massive tell for an archer rush.

I just don't enjoy playing against it. If I join a game and the other guy is playing Huns (the theoretically optimal late-early/early-mid game civilisation), I'll sometimes just drop. It's bloody boring playing against the same strategy, usually implemented poorly, every single time. If it's good, I don't mind so much, but if it's mediocre it's just irritating.

Got completely dominated by Miku in what is apparently parcheesi. Mainly because I don't understand the rules of parcheesi very well(and aren't particularly well-documented here).

The incredibly smug look on Miku's face when she realized how severely a beating she was giving me was almost enough to want to punch her if it was so goddamned cute.

Roundstarts, heelloooo, Nar-Sie. Gotta sacrifice the chaplain for the first objective. Run through the usual motions, say hi to my cultist buddies, share my starting word; get to work in the bar backroom researching cult words so we can kick things into gear; All the time, the common radio channel is filled with people asking about anime and things; I can smell adminbus coming already. 15 minutes later, I finish with the research, I grab some paper, and head off into the maintenance tunnels to find a comfy spot and make some talismans to tell my fellow cultists what's up; Then, all of a sudden, big bold red letters, 'ANIME HAS RISEN IN THE ABANDONED THEATER'. Wonder what the hell's going on for a second, get knocked around by ZAS, try and get out of maint; then I get cornered and ganked by necromorphs, who were apparently renamed as 'anime' for the bus. Die, BUUUUUT, admin feels bad for killing two antags with their bus, so I get put back in my body.

Promptly stow all my culty things in my own booze locker, and head to medical so they'll fix my popped lung; go through surgery, get woken up, leave medbay; end up getting tazed the second I walk out by a security officer, who drags me off to the Brig and has me interrogated and searched for being part of the anime club; apparently, at some point, the Station AI saw me making cult talismans and ratted me out to sec; get left alone so Sec can find the chaplain and deconvert me, but then the HoS decides to execute me; say my last words, 'You may kill us, but you shall never defeat Nar-Sie', lazed to death. Rip.

Had a nasty fight with my nemesis, but scraped through. Then the container of loot in that sector disabled my FTL engines and sent out a distress beacon, causing 5 ships to plow into my fleet on the next turn.
