Great American Game

*this playback requires Art of Supremacy*

I was testing some icon changing stuff (unsuccessful) and played this game of Zulus Continents in AoS. There's a Russo-Aztec/Zulu War at the end with Horn of Impi spam for this outing: empireearth2://decode-downloader-aos-pl ... ew&id=2574

Enjoy this once-in-a-while foray into AoS from me!

*requires Art of Supremacy*

With a new mod of mine that removes skull icon from unit kills (with thanks to Dr.MonaLisa for the help in making it!), I played Art of Supremacy again and will be doing so from now on. This game rolled me as the Zulus again, but with three continents on the map. Fun moving Horns of Impi across the seas, and there was a perilously close call with our flow of transport ships almost shut down by marauding Mesoamerican navies...

German River Crossings: empireearth2://decode-downloader-aos-pl ... ew&id=2578

This is to show how to use your starting Epoch 15 forces (presumably you chose Large) to conquer two continents of lesser epochs. The title is a Sea Mammal joke btw, as well as what I think would be needed for an actual river crossing across the English Channel by German forces.

Your Exclusive Content Downloader links are incorrect for AOS. They would be installed in EE2 playbacks folder instead of AOS one. You need to modify it to match.

So would they be like this (see bolded bit)?

No, it would be as explained in the guide: viewtopic.php?t=5332 (yellow font section)

Ok, I have modified it to work as per the yellow fonted guide:

Is this correct, Dr.MonaLisa?


EDIT:

Everyone viewing this thread, I have updated the three AoS game links as per the guide given to me. Please take note!

Maasai Continents Victory: empireearth2://decode-downloader-aos-pl ... ew&id=2579

In this outing whose playback isn't ruined by out-of-syncs, we play as the Maasai who got tightly squeezed on a three continents map. Still, we allied with our neighboring Russians, warred with everyone on the 2nd continent when the dastardly inhabitants of the 3rd continent dowed us and (much to our embarassment) razed our lone colonial city center and temporarily seized the territory from under our noses.

First time playing as the Maasai with UP and the no unitkills skull icon, so this was certainly a unique game. Turns out the Maasai can gain two free houses upon claiming/seizing territory overseas (!) Also Sirit Bombers are a joy to mass produce and use instead of nukes...

Roman Med Game with Tribes: empireearth2://decode-downloader-aos-pl ... ew&id=2580

In this outing on the Mediterranean map type, we played as the Romans and allied with the Japanese. This game has Native Tribes on, and our Japanese ally was quick to ally with one of them (the Roma). Nice lone moment if you can spot it of a lone Hero Arditi playing conquistador on the Inkans (eventually he called in for air support to wipe out the sun-worshippers) to the northwest of this map. Played around with Arditis + Fusion Casters and Net Fire Launchers; spammed Leviathans, but it seems they did not see much action at all :/

Sirit Heavy Bombers Continents: empireearth2://decode-downloader-aos-pl ... ew&id=2581

A proper example of what massed Sirit Bombers, fully upgraded to Elite, can do to lesser epochs on a Continents map (there are four in this game).

Also to note: opportunistic Russian Renaissance Navy bombarding the crap out of the Mayans while the latter are being bombed back to the Stone Age by my Sirits.

American Continents Game, AOS Edition: empireearth2://decode-downloader-aos-pl ... ew&id=2582

- Started as the Americans in this cramped continents map. Start allowed expansion for only my core territory, flanked by two native tribes who I didn't bother with, so I went to war with the only other major civ on my continent and carved out my empire there.

- Other continent was home to Korea, Maasai and Zulu. Maasai (and Zulu, I think) crushed the Koreans by the time I got my second territory on home continent, so I never interacted with them. Then I crushed the Maasai with nuclear bombers and heavy missile helos...

- Apparently claiming overseas territory with Barracks and Factory still works, which I did for territory formerly Maasai.

- I have one rule of thumb: In the ole Sid Meier Civilization games, the AI will DOW the human player if they reach 1900AD. Here in EE2 UP, if an AI reaches Industrial Age, I will DOW them asap and wage an aggressive war of extermination. Can't allow them to undermine my airpower with those magical AA Guns. The Zulus had a huge navy, but they never bothered sending them overseas to colonize my continent so I had a lot of Zulu ironclads to shoot at with impunity.

- Cramped start means no M18 Hellcat spam. Maybe next time...
