my ee2 story
Posted: 05 Jun 2018, 13:59
hello everyone..
i just found this forum and checked a lot of threads and have to think a lot of the great time i had with ee2. i try to remember:
i think i've started playing this early 2006. i was a noob and so i played a lot “city builder”. I was in a city builders clan: ~(<O>)~. But this shit didn’t last very long. after 10-20 times city builder I quit it CB and started real war.
i think I’ve met a guy named “LUMBERJACK” and he showed me how to play 5-5, especially how to rush. When I began playing this game, booming-strategies weren’t very popular. everything was fast – you started the game with “standard ressources” and immediately builded 4 barracks and 4 factorys (idk the correct word) and started building units. then you went for 4x or 8x crossbowmen, 3x balistas and 1x ram. you attacked your nearest enemy instantly! I had a lot of success and learned the basics very fast and became better than my teacher LUMBERJACK.
well, I can’t remember but after becoming better in 5-5 I was in many clans and played with so many people… I played a lot with PROMETHEUS – he was also German. He showed me some more good stuff and teached me. As duo team we were very strong.. there were not many people who could mess with us. during this time I think guys named “SCLEROPAGES” and “TOPEG” were extreme good players. I can remember I was on teamspeak with a girl named “MISS HOT” who was also not bad. and I was a damn young childish guy in puberty.. I think I was 14 years old.
Later I started to play bab war. I had luck that martjin and levi showed me how to play. you need to see which of your troops are being focused. then you start dancing with those troops to dodge the attacks. it was pretty simple and I actual liked it …. but it was too ping-dependent! I was lucky when my ping was below 150 ms (well it was 2006, maybe everybody had problems)… micro/mechanics with highping is no fun…
later the 5-5 meta shifted -> more people were playing with 5 min peace time. Booming became popular. I’ve adapted my strategy and I think I became even more successful. I had also many smurfs (for example ROBOT was a smurf from me). I tested a lot of stuff. For example with JESU I always played a little different (booming, rush, ugly with rams from behind, territory caging - always situation dependend), with ROBOT very aggressive and I always attacked in min 5. I had a lot of nice tricks and I think only very few knew them. for example you can put a spy on the collection point of your enemy units. Then you have view over them. when you attack him, your cats have a better range and can react faster. also I worked with prioritized attack targets. I was one of the first to use these methods, which gave me a huge advantage. there were many who could quickly build units and buildings. but almost nobody was playing with those tricks I had. for training I sometimes started 2v2 games, where my ally gave me all his units (only 1 citizien left for him) at the beginning of the game… so it was a 1v2 and I had to manage 2 bases.. I had a lot of fun!
I think I played the game approx. 2 years very actively, maybe 3+ years with many breaks, and every epoch 100 or 1000 times. I knew the game so well and thought I was one of the best - maybe I just overestimated myself, I can't answer that today. During my time I met a lot of people. i have trained achilles and he became an extremely good player. I've also played a lot with Penguin and Indy, who got pretty damn good. Me and SOW BIO became very good friends… we even met in real life :O I also liked SOW TINU very much… maybe because BIO and TINU were speaking German I also met a guy and idk his name in ee2, but I started to play with him Battlefield 2 and Guild Wars. It was a great time.
I've been in a lot of clans... I was also in very good clans with my smurfs I was probably a “clan hopper” during my first half of the game… it was also due to the fact that many clans existed only shortly..... but finally I found a home with SOW. i liked the people and the professional leadership by Alip. I saw his post in this forum, which is from yesterday. nice greetings to you my friend. I also liked SOW TOXIC very much, he was also a beast.
overall I think the best player I’ve played agains was PWN. maybe closeley followed by DR PEPPAR, but at that time I had almost completely stopped playing ee2. unfortunately I can’t compare them with players from early/mid 2006, because on that time I was new to the game and a noob… there were so many players, so many very good players, I can’t remember all their names …
If I didn't mention someone who should be mentioned, then I'm sorry... It's so long ago and I just wrote this text without thinking much.
