Nah, perfectly fine. I did a few matches with the patch, and changes are so minor AND we cant use the tournament function anyway, which means we'll just go ahead with the tournament this time.

Still waiting for those 4 guys though.

Anyone else might want to join in on the tournament in case they dont get back to me?

Sorry, I'm in. I thought I lost in the first round though?

Lucky loser! We had a few people drop out, so the best "losers" got in :)

I suspected him to never look at the match so I would win by default. Before the patch this was the case. Didn't get me a trophy:(

For those that are curious: 301290 is the game. ;) Straight up destroyed you with that rocket.

Yeah, it sucks there is a developer achievement that isn't viral. :/

I remember a story on Twitter where they said that he got bombarded with "custom" games with 20 rocket launchers against only his sniper ;)
I didnt play that way, but if you cant do it any other way, there is always that possibility ;)

What, how is that possible? You can only have 10 max of each unit!?

I dont know about that, but when the game launched I myself had a custom game just for fun with 50 shot gunners. They might have capped the limit in some way since launch. Anyway, 10 rocket launchers against 1 sniper should still be doable ;)

Woohoo! Final round!

Rules:
1. Find your opponent, shoot him a PM, start a round ingame and let us know if you cant reach your opponent after a few days.
Gaf Participants Profile List

2. 3 matches, if its a draw by win/loss/draw -> count out your kills and losses, the one with the better ratio wins.

3. Post your Youtube Videos to let us verify your win.

4. Get to the 1st or 3rd place and win a Steam Surprise game for 10$/€! If you can wait, you'd get it from me in the next holiday sales. That might be more than one surprise game then :)

:lol I dug around and you can have 50+ units in a map.

I made a map with so many units, I think I'm going to crash the game on loading it. :lol

Now to challenge bin and say "sorry" when I bushwack him.

I need to figure out what error 552 "multiturn not found" means, though.

Gah, why do I getting error 552: Multiturn not found!?

And where the hell is Bin so I can have him die in a hail of rockets?

I can't even send an invite of the map to Pjotr. WTF.

I asked this in the humble bundle thread but didn't get an answer.

How much single player stuff is there to do in this game? Is it just matches against bots?

No, it has quite some intricate levels. They are inspired by MP modes but combined with the story, it is quite engaging. Especially the last ones are, ehm, different:p

That's not the map. It's just a regular challenge. I'm not sure why it keeps 552'ing my map. :/

Also got EXTREMELY lucky with that spawn and guessing you would go toward the edge to try to get my #1 machine gunner.

Yeah, that's the custom map I was trying to load. (well, not the map on that match) and it did the same to me. Gave me a finished match that wasn't ours. I dunno what the issue is with loading my custom map. :/

Also forgot I had the game open, sorry dude. I made two moves.

Man I suck at this game. I'm on the 5th or 6th campaig mission I believe ( the first defend an area mission where you have to protect a hacker) and I just can't do it? Any decent n00b tips I may be missing?

Er-protect the room? That's about it. The mission is nerve-wracking because you have to worry about the stupid AI/hacker more so than your own units.

Hah. Got smoked by Isaac
because I told him what to do with his lucky spawn
, drawed dragonlife, but I got REALLY lucky tagging his RPG with my machine gun to where we pretty much were in a draw situation.

For the record, that was my first game and I was pretty ignorant about most of the tactics, haha. I got a bit better afterward, but I still suck :( First time playing tonight. We did 4 games, no? 3 draws, 1 loss.

I can see myself liking this. Thanks for not shutting up about me getting this, and the person who linked me to the humble indie bundle.

Now do the singleplayer and fail the first mission like all of us. :lol

Yeah, we did one hostage that you didn't know how to play, so we stopped. Two dark exterminations that drawed, and one light extermination that I got lucky and clipped one of your two machine guns while I only had one machine gun + a grenadier that were set to die if we didn't reach turn limit.

Hey! I didn't fail the first mission! Sure I lost half my guys on the first turn, but I still beat it! Still working on the last mission. I've got it figured out, but I still need to get my execution of it down better.

You got lucky, then. Because if you do anything in that first mission you'll get clipped pretty hard, I feel.

OF COURSE! Silly me, how could I have missed that. Thank you so much for pointing that out, had you not re-stated the mission objective I might have missed that crucial insight.
Click to expand...

I dunno what you want other than the blinding obvious, dude. They come to you, there's no need to leave the room to flush them out/kill them, etc. etc. etc. Put one unit at one exit, put the other at another exit. Bam, covered. It isn't that hard.

I see Stroganov got Die in a Fire. Did the patch fix that? And how did you get it? Getting hit at a wall? Direct fire hit?
