Sounds like Robocraft to me...

[flabort]

Yup. I expected the game to be far laggier, due to the install taking 36 hours... twice, due to closing the launcher by accident. I got reactions from that on the thread for the game, though. I know my internet's slow, and there's a possibility steam was updating at the time; but I still think that an inefficient launch manager contributed to the time, too.

A three way game with me as Aeon vs Cybran vs UEF. I managed to land a decisive blow against the UEF by catching their commander underwater with a fleet of submarines. I lost the subs but UEF lost their commander, so I began the process of upgrading and producing cruisers for long range bombardment against the remains of their base.

Suddenly a blip on the radar begins moving from the Cybran base. It's moving underwater and coming straight for my island. I scramble build three destroyers which are armed with torpedoes but just as they're built the Cybran Monkeylord crawls up the shore. The few turrets I built, as most offence was artillery due to the islands being far apart, manage to bring the Monkeylord down to half health but not before my base is a smoking ruin.
My commander meanwhile had fled underwater to avoid the sure death of the experimental's laser and begun building a torpedo turret as a last ditch attempt to destroy it.
The Monkeylord moved through the remains of my base and back underwater, destroying my remaining docks slowly due to only having a few torpedoes underwater. My torpedo turret comes online and begins firing back.
My commander marches back onto dry land to again avoid combat, taking damage in the process and ending up at half health.

Just before the torpedo turret is destroyed it manages to blow up the Monkeylord, allowing my commander time to begin rebuilding my destroyed base, focusing on turrets in case another one shows up.
Rebuilding from nothing but my commander, I look over at the Cybran base. Turns out my cruisers had managed to blow up their commander just before they got destroyed by the Monkeylord. I build five Miasma artillery cannons and a bunch of tier 3 bombers from my newly upgraded airfield and destroy the remains of their base.

Ah, victory snatched from the jaws of defeat.

Supreme Commander.

The Americans thought they had an entire continent to themselves. I brought a transport with six Engineers. The Americans promptly killed five, then burned the city one of the others built. My response: Several transports with Viking riflemen storm their nation. First Philadelphia falls, and is used as a base to produce further troops. Although for some reason, their musketeers and 1st generation cavalry kill my troops quite well, there's just too many of my men. Utilizing a combined attack with even more advanced infantry to those landed and an old, but quite powerful, ironclad, Washington fell. During this, I had developed and aircraft carrier and a bomber. At around the same time, Atlanta, which was just built, was razed, and after bombing raids, New York was taken.

The empire of the Americans is no more. Now only legends will remind us of their culture.

C-Evo. I am now at an impasse here. Both sources of Uranium are already claimed. One by the Japanese(thanks to a snafu in the diplomacy screen I have a friendship treaty with them), the other by the Romans(friendship since meeting them). The Romans are right next to me, but they have friendship with the Phoenicians, as I do. The Japanese are friends with the French. And I don't think anyone besides me want the Vikings in space.

If there is indeed a last alien.  Still, it couldn't hurt to look.

Given that this is X-Com, even OpenX-Com, that might be disputable.

I get attacked by Carthage with an army of Triarii, Roman archers, and some Libyan mercenaries (Plus the general). Carthage has about 1800 men or so to my 1100, and they're coming at me from two directions. I position my men in a hexagon, so they can defend in all directions, with the ranged combatants in the middle of the protective ring of spears. I send my General out to maul a unit of Long Shield Cavalry, and then I notice that the Carthaginians have clumped their armies together into one big one, and they're coming from one direction. I have my army fall back and reform into a traditional line formation, inside a large copse of trees. My general runs around, killing some of the three units of Peasants the enemy brought. Mostly, the enemy has Town Watch and Long Shield Cavalry, and they're heading towards my army, even though they can't see them.

As their militia closes, my archers and javelin men start firing, inflicting heavy casualties on the relatively lightly armored Town Watch. Then, right as they get close enough to spot my Triarii, my Triarii jump up and charge into them. The initial contact breaks half their army, and what follows is a long pursuit, occasionally with one or more of their units turning to fight and breaking again. My general gained three experience levels from all the peasant and town watch murder he did.

After awakening a pack of water mocassins and adders clustered around some kind of a snakeskin shop, I read a scroll of teleport and ran. Teleport triggers, and drops me smack in the middle of the kobold Pikel and a bunch of slaves. With my health at only 10 points, I am not at all in a state to take them all on. I start running for a corridor, taking out my blowgun and quivering some needles of frenzy as I do so.

I shoot one needle at a slave, which sends him into a berserk rage. He attacks Pikel and buys me some time to retreat further away. I reach the corridor, and shoot another needle of frenzy at the slave right behind me. He also goes berserk and turns on his fellow slaves and Pikel, who are still fighting each other right behind me.

So, there's several enemies clustered together in a tight space who are fighting one another. The way to me is blocked by a berserk slave. What to do now?

I read a scroll of immolation and high-tail it out of there. Several turns later as I turn a corner, "You hear an explosion!x9 You feel a bit more experienced."

I go back around the corner to see a huge fire filling the entire room where Pikel and his slaves had been, with scattered chunks of meat and blood decorating the walls. I probably completely blew my cover and woke everything on the level, but I'm alive, so that's kinda nice.

For non crawlers, reading a scroll of immolation causes a status effect called inner flame on all creatures in your line of sight. Inner flame causes enemies to explode into a huge fireball on death. I set two slaves to go berserk before igniting all slaves and Pikel with inner flame. One was sure to die, and the explosion caused a chain explosion that killed the whole group.

I may have been a bit overleveled at this point in the game...
Defeated the boss without anyone going below 100 hitpoints.  And we didn't even have a designated healer.

I step down to the final level of the dungeon, and where I expected dozens of enemies find few. Not bothering to use my spells, I take out my sword and cut those that oppose me to ribbons, and raise the bodies of the fallen as undead. With contemptuous ease I walk into the Orb room, and see the target of my long quest finally before me.

I grab the orb, and from nowhere its gaurdians surge around me. Where a instant before there were none, now they are legion. From the walls and the floor them come, they seep into existence between the blinds of the real, and suddenly they are everywhere.

I run, and blow after blow rains down, spell and fire and ruin they heap upon me. But I will not fall, I am a master of a dozen arcane arts, a necromancer that has transcended life itself, and just as everything in my path has fallen before me, they too will fall. And I rain fire and gales of wind back at them, and they crumple like paper. But they keep coming, old liches and their demons, orbs of fire, golems of pure electricity, and dragons of a dozen shades. With almost contemptuous ease I kill they again and again, my god restoring my power, my wands the damage they deal past my amour and artifacts. But still they keep coming from every direction and annoyed I retreat to the stairs. Racing back the way I came I run ever upwards, having no longer the time or the patience to deal with these simple pests. The barriers they pose being almost irrelevant to a being of my power.

Finally I come to the exit of the dungeon where I entered a lifetime before. When all I knew was a simple flame spell, when I was still living. And with a glace backwards, I take my prize and ascend.

The mood was also really helped by having some appropriately epic music on at the time.

That was pretty epic.

The game starts out like any other 8v8 usually would for me. I am in my slightly modified tank/car with more speed and less armour. This was my first test run of the little thing and it was faster than any other tank/car on my team. I went with 2 others up the left side of the map and then flanked in toward the center.  We run straight into a 2 enemy tanks, both heavily armed. After a bit of shooting, we kill them both, but one of my teammates is blown up and the other is completely immobilized with just one gun left. I have just one wheel connected to my control chair by one cube. No guns and no armor left.

Looking up at the scores, I realize that other than me and my immobilized teammate, the rest of my team are all dead and there are still all 6 of the other enemy tanks/cars/hover-bot left. Controlling the new unicycle that was left from the wreckage of my tank was hard, but I managed to start driving it back up the hill I came down. A few seconds later I hear blasts and my teammate is killed. Now, in an unarmed unicycle with no teammates left, I do the only thing I can do. I head to the enemy's base and start to cap.

I knew it was only a matter of time before a few enemy tanks showed up to blow me up and get the final kill, but I wanted as many extra cap points as I could get. Through an amazing stroke of luck (or just stupidity) all the enemy team had decided to cap instead of coming back to get me. Watching the cap meters continue, I realize that I might actually win this. With just seconds to go, my radar detects an enemy moving in.

With just one wheel left, I know there is not much I can do. Then the enemy, a tank/car with 6 still functioning turrets comes into view with a 4-turret hover-bot right behind him. I swerve and spin in circles, frantically trying to dodge their lasers as they rush towards the capture point. Then, right before a laser would have hit me, the game ends. I won.

The first attempt at bombing German oil refineries ends horribly. Our navigator gets hopelessy lost, and after a few attempts at banging his head against the map trying to figure out where our target is, I order a switch to the secondary target. Same result, only each pass we have to pass through a cloud of flak. After two of the crew get hit, and nearly losing one of the other bombers, I order us to give up and go home.

After receiving an angry letter from the division commander, we set off the next day with a new navigator(the previous one was hospitalized) towards the same target. Realizing that I could reset our position on the map manually in case the navigator is too dumb to figure it out himself, we actually managed to get on target this time.

Playing as the bombadier, I properly sight the refinery, and let the bombs drop. Total destruction. There's something glorious about dropping incendiary bombs onto an oil refinery.

Unfortunately, we got jumped by two fighter squadrons on the way home. Although our escorts had their thumbs up their asses somewhere way off in the distance, we managed to destroy six fighters in total, and lost only one bomber, possibly because one of the German fighters crashed into it. All ten crewmembers of the plane were listed KIA, although I saw four or five 'chutes drop from the dying bomber. Even so, only one bomber lost on a raid deep behind enemy lines is a good job, especially after at least three lines of flak.

I guess this could be considered ownage: After capturing a Gaul city, just two turns later I got notice that the city was under siege. I check out the army attacking and it consists of just a single unit: The Gaul faction heir and his 77 bodyguards. Well, I'm hardly gonna let this opportunity slip by, am I? Out goes my own general+bodyguard, along with a unit of light cavalry and a unit of archers. By baiting the enemy general with the archers, I was able to counter-charge with both cavalry units and killed the Gaul prince within seconds. The rest of the bodyguards broke a short time later, and my light cavalry's superior speed ensured that not a single man escaped.

Later on, an army of mine met a rebel army which outnumbered mine 2-1. Thanks to superior training and tactics, they were utterly obliterated (except for a few horsemen) at the cost of just two true Romans.

Rome: Total War

[Mr. Strange]

I guess this could be considered ownage, since it was supposed to be RP, not WC game.

In 1470 Europe was ruled by alliance of three nations, kingdom of Bohemia (Holy Roman Emperor), Kingdom of Hungary and Teutonic Order by virtue of overwhelming military power that, after disassembling of France in 1469, went unopposed for nearly decade untill steppe dwelling mongols came. _{Fucking mongols.}
First cracks in unified front were seen in 1477 when Hungary, invaded by the Golden Horde, turned down call from Bohemia and abandononed the alliance. Hungarians relied on carpathian mountains to shield them from the Horde, and for long time it did and they kept fighting for decades, losing only province or two in each war. Last blow to the alliance was in 1486, when Teutonic Order invaded several neighbouring states in order to seize important border provincies against approaching mongols. Bohemia, unwilling to tolerate growing infamy of Order, started looking new friends in west and south, and quickly found ally in ambitious Papal state. 1494 Liethuania seized to exist and mongols shared border with Order, whom they immediately declared war to. Soon after their declaration army of 30,000 teutons crossed over and carved bloody path towards crimea where 6000 soldiers from Orders holdings on Gibraltar region and north africa had secured beachhead. 1496 battles in crimean region reached their bloodiest stage when total of 40,000 teutons were fighting over 80,000 mongols in area between carpathians and province of Azow. In 1499 odds were 10,000 to 50,000, in Hordes favour.
Turn of the century saw Order forced to retreat back to the old border near old Liethuan capital Vilna with mongol army close behind, when Denmark decided it was time to reclaim island of Gotland from distracted Order and landed several small armies along Orders baltic coast, but not on the island of Gotland itself. In 1502 King of Bohemia pressed on some rather dubious claims of inheritance towards polish province of Torun Teutonic Order had annexed from Poland decades earlier, and declared war and invaded Order with army of 25,000 soldiers, some of the finest Empire had to offer. Emperors ally, the Pope, soon followed after him with much smaller force.

In 1505, in Teutonic Orders capital Königsberg, King's Mountain, surrounded by his last 3000 men, last Grand Master of Teutonic Order converted to lutherianism and abdicated his position as Grand Master of the Order and crowned himself King of Prussia as Albrecht I von Wettin, and declared all of Teutonic Orders posessions as property of the new kingdom of Prussia, third protestant country in the world. Nearly every city and town in the territory of former Order rebelled as soon as they heard the news and attacked any and all soldiers in sight, devastating not only bohemian and papal troops, but in the following decade completely destroyed mongol armies that had seemed to be impossible to stop even by the strongest of nations.

In the following years Kings of Prussia would Prussia everybody. Pics related.
