When the numbers are enough

Filed under: Battle Analysis — Mawhrin-Skel @ 10:22 am

Some time ago I wrote When the numbers and the skill aren’t enough, a battle analysis where I had the bigger power but lost because my opponent was smart and had a greater fleet to strike me down. This battle taught me several things: the Levyr light units aren’t very helpful when the opponent has Raptor and/or Samurai; Worms are a great weapon against Raptors, Samurais, and against light cannon fodder.

I got another match under the same circumstances. I had a lot of raw power (700 Worm), but my opponent had the best zone control units (80 Eagle, 50 Kahuna, Raptors and Samurai). Also, my fleet has just finished a battle and I had very few light units. So I split a lot of worms to use as cannon fodder.

<br />

This time I had the Destroyer, and I thought that it would make a difference. But it did not: destroyers are very powerful, but hard to put on the center of the action. And my enemy’s Eagle and Kahuna made sure that the Destroyer would not be a problem. But the Worms did their job, and I was able to take the strategic advantage from my adversary. It took a lot of patience and hard work, but I was able to win, with this new Worm Swarm strategy.

Pretty well played by both, in the end all those worms paid out… I wonder where are they now? =)
