I’d try to do a StarCraft comp stomp with my wife but we always ended up huddling together on one part of the map right from the start, to avoid the 1 CPU opponent’s obviously-cheating horde of like 30 hydralisks 4 minutes into the game. 😂
To add: I just remembered, a lovely RTS called Metal Fatigue was an AWESOME game, but it was so bad about this! Your giant stompy mechs couldn’t go underground, and the pathfinding was terrible down there, so standard match end-game was usually about sending swarms of tanks through tight tunnels looking for the enemy’s like, one builder unit, before the game was considered won. 😂
I did this with me and a buddy vs six AIs. I went in for a hit against one, and two other armies showed up and wrecked my army and then all three went and hit my base. So being Terran, I managed to save my Command Center and a few other buildings and fles into my buddy’s base, then we built up and wiped the AIs. Not quite the lone ranger SCV rebuild from scratch, but fun anyway.
last hour spent hiding your last surviving villagers behind trees
“Heehee I lost my main base but maybe these last two villagers can rebuild a settlement elsewhere and mount an effective resistance!”
Said ten year old me. Lol
Nope. Never worked 😂
I’ve had incredible comebacks doing this.
I just build a hidden reserve base. It works better than relying on villagers to build up new base on your own
The only way this really works is by making your opponents just give up from boredom. I’m not sure anyone wins in that case.
It helped some of my laid back lan parties back then tho. This strategy aged fast, but for a couple of times it could make it.
With a bunch of players I could see it working!
