Inkan Huge Continents: empireearth2://decode-downloader-aos-pl ... ew&id=2583

A memorable Inkan game for AoS. Sole Survivor Mode. Three continents with three native tribes. I can't believe I got by the entire game with just three naval transports, but here we are. Used my starting Large forces to the max, and then the hardbuilt Thunder Guns for the final push.

Russian T-90S Gun Missile Tanks Conquer The World! - empireearth2://decode-downloader-aos-pl ... ew&id=2584

Self-explanatory title. Details are Huge Continents (all features random), Tribes On, 5 Major Civs.

Noticed new things about the Tribes. They can apparently DOW you out of the blue (like the Celts) or secede from a major civilization (the Aleuts). Also lol @ the Aleuts' capital being Moscow while I'm playing the Russians. At least the Americans have a nice set of towers to fend off the Cold Peoples' raids into their territory.

Zulu Huge Continents: empireearth2://decode-downloader-aos-pl ... ew&id=2586

I just wanted to post this to provide commentary on UP's normal AI. They apparently don't build planes when they can already do so. So much hassle could have been avoided had Bismarck here decided to stack his lands with airports producing twin-engined bombers when going up against the Celts and Japanese....

Wolfenstein: empireearth2://decode-downloader-aos-pl ... ew&id=2587

Tried out AoS Custom Starting Forces. Made me a Giant Death Robot start rolling as the Germans, and this whole game was a honor to the MachineGames' Wolfenstein series. The Giant Death Robots survived the initial continent brawl and the intercontinental wars that followed.

Zulu Fealty Game: empireearth2://decode-downloader-aos-pl ... ew&id=2590

The game sure loves giving me Zulu lately, but this time its Fealty Mode. We got the Japanese to become our vassals super early on... and conquered the world from there. Interestingly, someone on the other continent became a vassal to another someone when they got bombed to pieces.

This game is also to make up for the error-ridden mess that is the wolfenstein upload above...

Japanese Continents Fealty Mode: empireearth2://decode-downloader-aos-pl ... ew&id=2591

In this game, we play as the Japanese:

- Ever wanted a scene whereby E15 OFWs, Bomblet Mortars, Minigunners, Netfire Launchers, Fusion Casters are charging a contested beachhead supported by Elite Zero Fighters above? This game has it.

- We demanded fealty from the Americans early game and got it. They became embroiled in a generational war with their neighboring Ottomans, who were naturally at war with us too.

- The sinking of Ottoman Renaissance Navy with Japanese Zero Fighters and E15 Orbital Bombers

- The fate of the Two Russias

African Bismarck: empireearth2://decode-downloader-aos-pl ... ew&id=2592

In this fealty game as the Maasai, we got Bismarck to be our vassal early on... and suffice to say, he expanded voraciously, sometimes with the aid of my Sirit Bomber Swarms, but more often than not just by his lonesome. Aggressive as heck when it comes to eliminating civs I've DOWed.

We tried to get the French to be our ally, and they built the Parthenon, but the game apparently only allowed 1 vassal-holder to rule supreme... tried capturing the Parthenon, but Sirit Bombers were too indiscriminate in area bombing... apparently there are 2 Parthenons built according to the after action battle report, so there is still 1 Greek Wonder Building out there. Somewhere.

Epoch 15 vs Epoch 12: empireearth2://decode-downloader-aos-pl ... ew&id=2593

This deathmatch mano-a-mano game has us pitting the Mayans (Epoch 15) vs the Chinese (Epoch 12). Map is a Tiny Mediterranean. Rushing E12 civ with our starting Large forces incurred much casualties on our end from their small WW2 airforce despite taking our their airport with our orbital bombers early on. They literally sank our advanced navy (???) Perhaps a slower strategy of wiping out the neighboring primitive tribes and expanding into their lands for the juicy pop increases would have been a wiser choice, but also much slower.
