Loki: 2v2 Myself(Loki) and Grit(Gaia) vs. Myll_Pawn(Thor) and Myll_Erik(Zeus) on Tundra.

Erik goes for a hoplite/minotaur rush against me, however he does it just a bit too early, if he had massed up even 4 more hoplites the result easily could have been much different. However he does it again a few minutes later, only this time with a whole lot more hoplites, he almost ran me out of the game as I only had 1 ox-cart left and not enough wood for a TC (not that Grit couldn’t have tribbed me), but after that his partners weak economy (due to doubles) just couldn’t keep up and it was only a matter of time before Grit ran them both over.

Loki: 1v1 vs. eX_Wolf as Isis on Midgard

Boy I hate Loki a lot. Fortunately I manage to control the map a decent amount and that gives me a good edge.

Loki: 1v1 vs. TOAO_ChronoJJ as Isis on Midgard

I think I needed a few more upgrades earlier on in this one. I had the tc advantage and the adavantage in numbers but I just couldn’t keep enough troops out there because they were getting killed too fast. A few more TA would have been nice in my flaming weapons as well. I think this game kind of shows why axemen own norse so badly…. they create waaay faster than my replacement troops can so what I really needed was 2x as many buildings as him, too bad there wasn’t really room for that near my base.

Loki: 1v1 vs. Scruffy_ as Thor on Medit

I go for a speedy Water build this time ending up with a 4 min Loki rush. The double sided attacks really seemed to hurt him a lot, as well the distraction on water was a bit too much for him. I’ll get the hang of Loki yet.

Loki: 1v1 vs. Goofy_ as Hades on Oasis

I played this one a bit silly. Sure it’s not a great idea to rush hard against a Hades player, but I knew he was going for double tc, so I should have tried to prevent him from getting all 3 of his tcs.

Loki: 1v1 vs. eX_Insanity as Kronos on Alfheim

Sigh, Loki again. I decided after seeing a bit of the map layout that my best bet would be to do some walling. Unfortunately I don’t think I could have walled fast enough to stop him from doing what he wanted to do. At a couple of points in this game I thought I might have a chance, but things didn’t fall in right. Perhaps I should have used my vils to fight him hehe.

Loki: 1v1 vs. Da_Oli_Fr as Kronos on Tundra

Why do I always seem to get norse vs. Kronos players? Anyways not much of a game to speak of here, I do some decent inital raiding I thought, but I just don’t build enough barracks early on and it costs me.

Loki: 1v1 vs. eX_Insanity_ as Kronos on Highland

Bleh I don’t like loki in situations like this. I just never get a good enough food economy going to keep up with him. I should have really gone for a defensive build right from the start, but then again losing water so easily wouldn’t have made things any easier.

Loki: 1v1 vs. CR_Nemesis as Poseidon on Midgard

so close to being worth a spotlight, this is a pretty long game it lasted nearly 1 hour… very good game worth a watch.

Loki: 2v2 Myself and KS_General(Isis) vs. SR_Clan_Salient(Loki) and SR_Clan_Dantis(Loki) on Alfheim

Going FH with no military and gold in front vs. a hard loki rush is really a not a good situation to be in.

Loki: 1v1 vs. CR_Nemesis as Set on Medit.

A somewhat interesting game, I haven’t really played a lot of loki on water maps so I’m not sure what the other experts do on this map, but I thought things worked out fairly well.

Loki: 1v1 vs. au_Cerebral as Gaia on Ghost Lake

A pretty neat game, again witness the power of Trolls, without valor what can he do?

Loki: 2v2 myself and Myll_Pawn(Kronos) vs. Myll_Death(Poseidon) and LP_ArTo(Zeus) on Tundra

I really should have just rushed my guy instead of trying to double his considering where my forward base was positioned, would have likely given me better results early on.

Loki: 2v2 Myself and Flank(Thor) vs. Stormbringer_LOL(Loki) and Mystic_Soul_(Isis) on Alfheim

A pretty interesting start to this one. I’m not sure how much I slowed him down as compared to myself, but it was fun anyways.

Loki: 1v1 vs. krneki_(jebi_se) as Loki on Alfheim

Just goes to show that not everyone in the top 20 can play all the civs, I suck with Loki and this wasn’t even much of a game.

Loki: 3v3 Myself, hZ_Flank(Hades) and cubensis_PAoM(Set) vs. hZ_FrozenFire(Thor), Slogo(Hades) and AciD_Ayr_Hades(Poseidon) on Midgard

cubensis is a TC thief!!! The teams ended up a little bit lopsided in this one, but it still turned out to be a decent game. Watch flank delay a dock builder for the first couple minutes of the game.

Loki: 1v1 vs. Slogo as Odin on Marsh

Another not so fair matchup in TRL, but I don’t think the civs would have mattered all that much in this one to be honest.

Loki: 1v1 vs. hZ_flank as Odin on Alfheim

My first 1v1 in the new Triple Random League. Things turn out a little lopsided as I get loki vs. his Odin.

Loki: 1v1 vs. I_Love_Eva as Oranos on Ghost Lake

I played this one really silly, I should have realised that he had two gold mines in his base, I was just too dumb to realise it. Incidentally this game is the first one in which I can remember ever picking loki in rated.

Loki: Champion of the Unknown tournament Myself vs. L_Clan_Capoch game 2

I played so poorly in both these games, not really thinking and having my docks so spread out cost me an awful lot, just a bit of smarter play was all that could keep me alive.

Loki: 2v2 Myself and Lytes(Odin) vs. hope_is_Gloppy(Thor) and Lidt_hotkeys(Loki) on Ghost Lake

I hadn’t seen a loki hersir rush in some time so this was somewhat refreshing. I manage to stop his initial attack (just barely) and in turn was able to help lytes gain an advantage vs. gloppy. While lytes was doing pretty good on his own all he needed was a little bit extra to give him a good advantage.

Loki: 1v1 vs. Love_Jin as Set on Savannah

Set is just too much for me to handle it seems like :(. I put my towers up in a bit of a bad possition, I should have thought ahead some and placed them closer to my second gold mine :(. But really what can you do against so many free units?

Loki: 2v2 Myself and Flipp (Isis) vs. Juggernaught_ (Thor) and MAD_Miyamoto(Odin) On Anatolia

I don’t think the guy on my side of the map was quite up to snuff in this one, he just kind of let me walk all over him.

Loki: 1v1 vs. UD_GG as Set on Medit

I pull a major boom job on land in this one, things work out fairly well in the long run.

Loki: 1v1 vs. Olympus_Siesta as Thor on Watering Hole

Ummmm wow. I can’t believe after my rush failed so bad that I actually managed to come back in the least. I think my biggest problem in this one was the large distance between my first and second food sources, this really slowed my ability to go classical quickly.

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Loki: 1v1 vs. IamOK as Set on Anatolia

I don’t know why they didn’t just cut down Sets animal attack power to 1 during archaic, as it is they can still kill docks before classical and can certainly kill my ulfsarks too easily.

Pretty poor job on the offensive by me, I’m not entirely sure what I was thinking when I played this game.

Loki: 1v1 vs. aquarian27 as Set on Savannah

Silly guy doesn’t use very man animals with his army, he does however use an awful lot of axemen which proceed to do rather poorly.

Check out those Uber Herirs, 6.14 speed nothing can catch those suckers, and no MU can outrun them.

Loki: 1v1 vs. Ghengis_Khan as Set on Watering Hole

Not much to be done here I think, over 2000 hp’s of free units, all with more attack than anything I can get my hands on.

Loki: 1v1 vs. WW_HeadShot as Set on Medit

Pretty short game, my dock is too close to my tc for him to be able to take it down, add that to the loki water bug and it’s all over.

After a really good start for me I make a key mistake continuing the fight by his snakes, I really end up behind after this, do I have a chance?

Loki: 1v1 vs. ageofmonkies as Thor on watering hole

As posted on MFO by age of monkies except this time it’s from my perspective, not a bad game but I think I only won because he made a few too many mistakes.

Glad I saved my spy for when I did, really gained me a big edge over him. As well I think going with forsetti was a good choice overall.

Hehe you can hardly tell I have no clue about how to play loki in this one. Pretty sad game by me :).

Loki: 1v1 vs. Ja_ma_Song as Thor

I take a slightly different approach than ussual. I sit back and mix up my army a bit before massing up hersirs. Check out the troll’s in this one, they rock.

Loki: 1v1 vs. Easy_Company as Poseidon

I abuse the loki water bug to the fullest, yes I know it’s lame and there’s no excuse, but I was rather mad about a series of losses before this to set and loki whores, not much of an excuse but oh well.

Loki: 1v1 vs. Arkandos as Set, game 3

I abuse Loki’s bug to the fullest. Why? well because I was very mad at having lost to this guy 2 games in a row due to Set being overpowered on certain maps.

Loki: 1v1 vs. Arkandos as Set

This game pissed me off pretty bad, something has to be done to set, on maps like this it’s just impossible.
