I admit, this wasn't the hardest game that I had ever fought, but there were some close moments. After visiting your site, I decided to post on a game that wasn't immensely complex. Not too many people here seemed to play AOK, so I felt that I'd need to take up time setting up alot of the gameplay... to do this and try to report a Three vs Three game wouldn't be productive, because no one would be able to follow it.
I am not the best AOK player. I haven't had the game all that long, but tactical advantages in AOK are very huge...
This opponent tried to run me over with faster technology and more units, but my superior position acted much like the trenches in World War I. If you ran at the trenches without planning, they killed you in massive ratios. I had him thoroughly scouted and controlled the map as much as I could. I think this is important in other RTS games, but it's critical in AOE since you can't crush a base in seconds with a suprise early drop or something. |
| #14 Mark4 (strangers.bragg.army.mil)[14778] |
|
Bah! Me and YRM would kill AQD3 and this ?? joker =].
I think it's about time for me to go hit the AOK forums with a link to this little baby =]. I'm predicting a couple extra thousand hits. This should probably be a news item... |

Try using offensive Teuton town centers rather than towers. They only cost wood, have most hit points than towers, and have much more range (more than any siege weapon except a trebuchet.) They're also quick and cheap to repair.
Nice report.

| #20 shockwave (exchange1.sensable.com)[14812] |

| Great report! This is really excellent, I'm using your BR to evangelize that people should check out AoK :-). I'm wondering, maybe as people submit reports here, they can also include the recorded game (if they did record it). That way people could watch the game and get the commentary also. Everything about this report was amazing, I really enjoyed your writing style. |

Wow. I didn't think I'd like AOK before this, but now... it sounds awesome. Great report, etc.
When I first started reading it I actually thought it was YRM smurfing his new "style". That or .Praetor, cause he's a history buff. |
| #24 DoomDragon (port9-5.gettysburg.desupernet.net)[14823] |

This is a TRULY good report. I know NOTHING about AoK and yet I was able to (partially) follow this and enjoy it. With luck the autor will post a lot more reports of this caliber.
And as a note, any rater who doesn't give this a 10.0 needs to:
1.Have their ratership revoked.
2. Have their ratings deleted.
3. Get banned from the site,
4. And lastly, get hunted down and shot. :).
In other words, raters, this report really deserves a 10, give it one. |
| #25 .Praetor (fjwilson.reshall.ucsd.edu)[14825] |
|
You know MikeyMonty, I thought it was YRM for a bit too, but he wouldn't out and out comment on his own report like he has on this one =).
As for me, I'm flattered, but I'm sure sanity returned when you remembered my famous 'skillz' (notice the hated 'z' there) with HTML.
If we really do have someone who just came and posted a 10.0 on the very first try... well dang, I always figured it could happen once.
WOW. |
| #26 Fractal_Wave (proxy1.gvcl1.bc.wave.home.com)[14831] |

What .Praetor said: WOW.
As an AoE player who has long since been converted to StarCraft, this really, really, really, really makes me want to go out & buy AoK and re-polish my skills.
Maad props for making it easy to fall in to the world of AoK. 4 resources are a shock for StarCraft people. hehe.
And, I, unlike YRM, am not bitter that a newbler walks into BR.com & ganks a 10 with his 1st effort. Not bitter at all....AT ALL....
hehe. Hope to see more in the same vein.
All the best,

| I'm not bitter at all either, because I know that no amount of effort could ever get me a 10.0, because I'm sure there will always be some joker out there that posts a comment that makes a rater bring it down to a 2.0 or lower =[ |

| #32 (real.nauticom.net)[14857] |

I dunno, is watching a recorded game, no matter how good, the same as explaining the strategies and thoughts involved? How many people have downloaded Starcraft Game Movies other than Xd'sGrrrr? It's just not that much fun to watch a detached game. I think battlereports will never die because you become connected with the writer and the story.
But yeah, this guy should have uploaded the playback file for people with AOK. That would have been cool. |
| #33 .Praetor (fjwilson.reshall.ucsd.edu)[14859] |

Nice job Davey. It clued in for me when the ???'s had two letters preceding them.
Of course it helps that "The Author" flat out lies in the first comment and others. Johnny and Mark4 probably were in on it too =).

Heh. If I can smurf as Butter, then surely YRM can smurf as _ _ u r * _ _ l e * _ _ _ e l. Excellent report! I'm at a loss on rating...hould I wait until I know more about the game itself before I'm qualified to judge the report?
Cheers,

| #36 (real.nauticom.net)[14863] |

Maybe someone is messing with me? Maybe some random stranger came out of nowhere and got the password to edit reports and the password to my folder and is messing with me? Maybe they just wrote this report on their first try ever... huh? What about that?
Sigh.
Actually Johnny wasn't in on it until after he read it. I guess he and Mark had an idea... Alot have people have said that the only way to get a 10 is to have a name like YRM on the report. I just wanted to see if I could get a 10 without preconceptions... I wanted to see how my new style would go over without people comparing it.
I was gonna gradually add my name over a period of a few days for fun, but people started guessing, and Davy had to ruin it for everyone. As much as I'd love to argue with Davy, I can't, cause he's right this time, it was me.
So I'm not good enough to smurf in real BroodWar... throw me a freakin bone here (best Dr.Evil impression). It would have been damn cool if someone came out and posted a report like this on their first try though... personally, I think reporting takes alot of practice.
Anyway, it was nice to hear thoughts on the style without people comparing it or hunting through it for the slightest imperfections... sorry it ended up just being me. =[
I am just happy that my style was different enough to, at least for a minute, fool an excellent writer like .Praetor. I was thinking I'd continue reports in this new vein for a while... AOK is pretty cool, and it's nice not to have to make Korean spouting reavers for a change. |

WOW o WOW.. Great report "The Author" Whoever you are you have an excellent writing style that comes out of history books and draws the reader into the story. I really enjoyed reading this. It was like a Cronical out of a story book put onto BR.com. As for the secret identity i think that is to funny to see people wale and wonder who it could be.
Oh btw YRM could you bring over cards for tonight, were all having a get together at davys, there's gonna be a HO-DOWN. Also bring that nifty ISP you have also. Man i love this town it's so great!!

| #38 Persian-POW (proxy2-external.rdc1.az.home.com)[14865] |

Hmm..
I guess now you just need to apply the new reporting style to a real game like StarCraft (jk). Report one of T_Mac's losses or something, that would be cool.
I was trying to figure out what it felt like to be TRULY gay today and did one of those queer posts on the brood war forum about tmac being gay or something, then I actually replied to my own post. OMFG!!!

I was right then... A~Butter~Slicer = ~Cattlebruiser~
~CB~, rate it if you like. I purposely reported on a game that wasn't extraordinarily complex so that people with no clue how AOK was played could at least half follow along.
Of course, games do last longer in AOK... this game was 1 hour long, and it had it's moments. I figured I could focus around a few aspects of the game and maybe whet peoples appetites for trying it out. If you felt the desire to try the game after reading the report... it worked. AOK isn't better than BroodWar, nothing is, but it's different and very good... there's alot of depth there.
Oh, and the reason I didn't do a Town Center push (where you use the excellent Tueton range in the town centers to do something like a super cannon push) is because this guy was ahead of me in technology most of the game and TCs don't come until castle age I believe. I started my forward outpost in the feudal age. Besides, Town Center pushes eat up your troop count in workers, and can be stopped by wide expanding or good scouting. |

| Well I haven't ever played AOE or AOK so this doesn't make much sense to me, but it was obviously very well done. Plus the gifs were really cool. Dagnabbit, YRM is conquering BRs of other games while I'm still working my way up to where he was at SC. After my next two BRs (and anything else whoop decides to do =P) I'll try to do some War2 BRs, if only to abuse the 1000 screen shot limit. |

| #45 ~CB~ (buri.campus.vt.edu)[14884] |

I made up Butter for the same reason you tried smurfing here... to experiment with a new style without name preconceptions. The new style included those faux minimap snapshots and a completely contrived game (TT was in on it too). I considered staying smurf but realized that there's always going to be the one guy who says "Not enough pictures! Appease my visual stimuli apparatus damnit!" so it really won't make a difference which handle I use for reports.
I wasn't going to tell though, until the three unarguable points were discovered:
1) ~ABUTTERSLICER~ rearranges its letters to ~CATTLEBRUISER~.
2) Everyone in NWTR already knew it was me :p
3) A bot whois has the same account number even if the nicknames aren't listed together.
You were on the right track though ;) As for smurfing, next time, get some free geocities space, do LESS with pic editing, and write your html code a little different (who else uses vspace and hspace in their reports ;) )
Cheers and good work,
~CB~ |

I had no intentions of staying under cover for any length of time, I like to have all my reports under the same name. I also have no intentions of de-emphasizing pictures (although they are less gratuitous). Me de-emphasizing pictures is like .Praetor de-emphasizing prose... just idiotic. Instead of downplaying the importance of pics, I am trying to refine my writing.
The look, design, and general feel of the report is different. My goal was to do sort of a History Channel presentation. If people didn't understand the units, they could at least follow more or less the flow of the battle.
Instead of trying to write it as if it happened over 900 years, I created the whole outlying colony premise so that the ages could be coasted through over the span of a few years or less.
Grrr! You made up that game??? That's TWO! ~CB~, you can easily create conditions for a good game by setting up the players, rules and races... you don't gotta make them up! Grrr! Besides, didn't you get a 9.5 on that report? I gave it a good score because that game was awesome and the report was well written.... wait, the game never happened... Grrr! Ok, so you half fooled me. |

Great Battle Report!!! Hehehe, I knew it was YRM from the start. Then when I went to the comments page, it was some guy called The Author. Then I read the comments. And then discovered that it WAS YRM indeed!

| #49 (relay.atinc.com)[14891] |

Actually, look at the list... there are plenty that AREN'T worth reading! Search by 1, 2 or 3 sometime!
All that will happen if it sucks is that everyone will tell you, and you won't want to waste time writing more to get flamed. It'll be interesting to see how you treat the game though... maybe some cool screenshots of the better dunks or moves. Breaking ground on new games is hard.
I suggest watching a highlight film on ESPN 2 of one of the great teams or something to get ideas for treatment if you really want it to kick.

| #50 MuchTooSexy... (wf372.aero.org)[14896] |

i think i found an imperfection! don't the teutons get "murderhole" technology for free? that means that the towers could hit targets at their own base. so the part of the report which describes needing two towers because they need to protect each other's bases is wrong. hahaha...
automatic 1/10 point deduction for each imperfection. j/k
really, though... this was a great report. i want to get online and play some games, but i'm still a major newbie. anyone want to play with me? i'm "MisterMackey" on the Zone.

| #51 (relay.atinc.com)[14898] |

The towers DO get murder holes for free, BUT, murder holes aren't available until Castle Age. The tower DID NOT shoot at the spearmen at it's base until I drew them away with archer fire. Most free upgrades don't come until you get the building that usually offers that upgrade... I thought that my tower had murder holes too though, until it wouldn't shoot.
Get that 1/10 point back on there!

| Very rarely will you ever find a game in which the outcome is still questionable even after the final major attack. Rather than observe until the next apocalypse came along, I wrote the battle out from start to finih over a week and then spent 8-9 hours revising, editing, and finally writing the report. Pics took me 1 hour. Go text! ;) |

| Age of Kings doesn't suck. It's right up there with Starcraft. I won't say either is better, but I probably like SC a little more, but that could be cause I've invested 100's hours into already. |

Unfortunately, NBA Live 99 does not support screenshot taking. How could I find out if a particular game allows you to take screenshots? I don't think I can. But I'll describe the game as clearly as possible. Although I don't think ever. . I'll get above 6.0 if I really posted it 'coz it's the first ever Sports report. The game rocked though.
And another thing. Do you raters like basketball? |

anyone ever notice when comments get above 60-70 they have nothing at all to do with the report, so Great report YRM |
| #91 [MrFurious] (pega.globetrotter.net)[15183] |

Just yesterday I went to my local computer store and spent at least 10 minutes looking at the AOK box. I finally decided to wait for reviews before buying. This report makes me regret that decision. YRM should get kickbacks from MSN as its the best advertisement I have found on the net for it!
Good Show YRM.

I was the Tuetons... but I treated the game as if I was an observer more or less when I watched the replay file.
I didn't go into opponent names this time. IGZ has no records for non ladder games, and I was posting this game as an anonymous author at first to get a reaction to my new style. The names of the players just weren't important. |

No one here knows be but what the heck....That was an awsome BR. I have only read a few, but a turn from a SC report was Great. I read about 46 of the coments then just cruised on down to type this, so i got a feel for the whole smurfing thing. Im looking forward to coming back here....some day anyway. I have tried about 4 times to make a BR but to no avial....so I thought I could read up on some of other ppl. After reading this I would say my next game would be AOK.

HEHE you guys didn't u get LC did u???
great report, despite YRM keeps spelling tEUtons wrong
I love AOK, but SC is a little bit better, because of the three COMPLETLY different races.
Clan: the celt used skirmishers and PIKEMEN, which helps because if the melee pikemen reach the tower, it can't attack them
I think castle age is enough to get the free murder holes
About my strat advice: in late game I use mass pikemen/skirmishers + skorpions + trebuchets
tried only vs. newbies ( I cant play at MSN cause my brother now has my AOK ), but I mashed them completly
Have fun
Toolbar
P.S. I think Ensemble should pay YRM because after this report, around 15 people are going to buy the game

Specialy dedicated to the Author :
The report is super! Never seen better about AOK or AOE. But guy that played with the Celts (my favourite race) was not verry familiar with their weekness and strongness. It is the first time I see somebody to play Celt without any siege weapons! Heh, If was on his place I woud prefer fast carped ram over giving up such armie to a teoton's tower. 1 ram and the tower is down.
That's it. The report is 10.1 ! :))

It looks good and all but its as interesting as saying...I'm teuton...I TC "dropped" my enemy and killed him b4 imperial. And well crap opponent using crap race and making the BR so long-( how do you do that?) doesn't help either.
All you've done is boast aok base defenses, and use of monks getting relics/converting (which don't occur alot unlike aoeI,and no actual battles eg. he sent 55 elites skirmishers(which are excellent against abalest because of their anti -range weapons armour(pierce armour)
against my champions(top level infantry) with squire(speed/like zealot legs)and got mashed.etc.
Maybe play a few more rated games on the zone and tell about the anti-newbie bashing strats you've come up with would be more funny.
From a person who reckons the BR by Gamma ray burst rulz and aok is a good game. BTW I am not a Very good player myself but seeing aok being written up like some kind of "kiddy story works" and get a rating of 10 and have so many people wowing at it......hmmmm I don't get it....

Wow.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this battle report. It truly amazes me when I see the number of people that don't understand Age of Empires. It seems that Blizzard has brainwashed us into thinking that war is about creating billions of units that hold no real value, grouping them together, and sending them in blindly into an opponent's base.
On the contrary, Age of Empires shows how realistic a Strategy game can be, and it's reports like this that bring out the best in the game. If people would give it a chance, instead of constantly being obsessed with a rush, they would see what it means to care for your units, to establish dominance in seemingly meaningless areas of them map, and to watch them turn the tides of battle in your favor.
Excellent job, keep it up!
