Not many new players in the tournament but I'm quite surprise to see 3 intermediate division players are in the tournament and they are producing magnificent result by beating some of our elites. Well done guys rclxms.gif Keep up the good work !!

While waiting for the tournament replays, here are two replays I played on GS before the tournament, vs Johnny and vs PhS|Kablam.

What races?

redeye84, I'm only interested in watching someone play Tau. Don't want to waste my time watching other races play.

Hmm.. you want Tau replays.

Its better you go to DOWsanc and search for Tau specific replay there.

Downloaded as much as I could find but unfortunately very few really great replays. All quite one sided.

Oh I plan to play the other races but since I'm still going through the SP with Tau, Tau are the ones I am most familiar with. smile.gif

Hey guys, what's a good built against Necrons? It seems my tier 1 is but useless against them. I manage to hold off the Necron Lord and their tier 1 ranged (don't know the name) but once they get wraiths they chew me up.

My BO is:
Barracks
SS
BC
SS
FW
Vespids
Plasma

All tier 1 units including kroots get chewed up too fast, they're pretty useless.

Vs Crons forget about vespid harassing Crons.

Since vespid doesnt do imba building dmg so Vespid is kinda useless. The best is to TC harass + hard tech to get macross missle.

Forget Kroot.. Free NW will prawn u.

Yeah that seems to be the trick, tier 2 tech. Hell of a lot of micro to fend off the assault tho. Necron can almost go to sleep.


Added on July 18, 2007, 11:19 pmHow often you guys play online? Might give it a shot this weekend - I'm currently practicing against computer on hard mode.

Ok did the tier 2 tech rush. It seems that the computer AI fubars up tho if I push them too hard? You can see them pathing aimlessly.

Here's my replay.

Yeah I know about snares and flamers, but that doesn't change my point. In comparison to the amount of micro a Tau has to do, the Nec can just about go to sleep. There's no extra effort from the Nec, they just do whatever they normally do. Of course Tau is the most micro intensive race now, there's tons of micro to do against any other race. But against these other races they have to adapt. Necs can just casually counter just about anything with little difficulty.

And yeah I know I gotta defeat it on insane mode first. But you gotta ramp up slowly. No point trying to beat national team when you can't even get a point against state. smile.gif

Necron is the worst matchup for Tau. Throughout the experience I had during the off world mission, massing fw + snare trap + TC seems the only way Tau has against Necron. But you have to beware of NL solar + wraiths, thus positioning your fw is the key here. Dont stick them around as fw movement speed is wicked slow, so spam snare trap and do aggro capping and camping.

Tau is not the most micro intensive race yet, eldar is. And yes, necron is the micro least race but when it comes to higher level play, planning and time management is very important for necron, one wrong step can simply leads you to doom. And that "step" inclusive of capping order and BO. And necron has hard time against some races as well, and they are map dependant as well.

Eldar's still the most micro across the board, I agree. But it seems like Eldar have more counters against the Necrons in early game. What's NL solar by the way? What does it do?

What races do Necrons have a hard time against? I don't really see how that's possible considering the strength of it's hero, plus it's basic units have both formidable ranged and melee. But do please enlighten me, I'm learning!

U are talking about how to defeat a hard necron computer?? Computer Hard always start with higher resources than human player. No point we are discussing how to defeat a cheater computer and emotionless machine. if u want to talk about proper strategy, get to play it online/hamachi with us. then u post up the replays and we will discuss.

You talk like Tau is the most micro intensive race. Have you play Eldar yet? You still not yet see how Tau is destructive against other race. Basically, the most micro intensive units in Tau are Vespid and Tau commander. No other. I dont have DOW installed on my PC, otherwise we can do reverse engineer where u play as Necron vs my Tau.

some tau replay from me, you can count how many units i lost.

And thanks Cheese for the heads up about the AI. Much more fun now. Working my way up from hard to harder. Hope to play insane this week.
