Oranos: 3v3 Game with MAD members

Sorry no description available

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Oranos: 3v3 Myself, KS_Lytes(Ra) and Bigfella(Now KS_Bigfella :D as Zeus) vs. OLV_Anvil(Poseidon), DerNeiGewwinnende(Gaia) and D_br70316_D(Isis) on Highland

They really slowed me down a lot with buildings on my side of the map which dragged the game out a lot. But eventually I caught on and went with an all siege army :D.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. IParanoiaI as Ra on Highland

The name of this game says it all. I’m a retard. Probably the poorest playing by me in a very long time.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. Vagabond_Point as Zeus on Marsh

I think forcing him to use cease fire earlier than he wanted really hurt him in this one, he could never really get a foothold on a TC after that which gave me an edge.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. Vagabond_Peter as Oranos on Watering Hole

Not sure why but the viewpoint of this game is from his POV. Perhaps it’s because of the watcher involved? I’m not entirely sure. Anyways a few good raids really kept me in this game after he went for a 2 TC start.

Pretty interesting game it goes back and forth for a little while in classical until I finally clue in on what his strategy is.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. LP_Wicked as Kronos on Marsh

Here’s a good example of a cookie cutter player with a high rating. I don’t know why he would try such a useless rush against an Oranos player as Oranos can really handle it easily. But hey if cookie cutter gets you that high I guess keep using it.

I went the wrong god for the third age I think. Other than that the ancestors eclipse combo is just too much when trying to fight on water at the same time.

He goes for FT which is kind of silly on such a wide open map, and he knows it is the thing hehe.

I had always thought they had bumped egypts rams up to 4 population. This game I actually checked it out because I couldn’t believe how many he had. Turns out they are still 3 pop and still as stupid as ever.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. I_Play_Random as Kronos on Oasis

I think he gave up a little bit prematurely in this on as I had lost soooo many villagers. But hey if he’s willing to give up I’m willing to let him.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. Ak_Chaban as Oranos on Tundra

This game made me laugh. It ends rather quickly but afterwards he couldn’t understand how I got the army that I did so early. So I said to him “there’s a reason I was top 10 with Oranos before I stopped playing him exclusively", he responded back with “I am top 10 with Oranos” Turns out this guy is fortune on another of his sub 1800 smurf nicks. Kind of fun beating the crap out of him so easily.

Oranos: 2v2 Myself and DBD_Mack vs. Partizan_ (Isis) and Scorpion_King(Isis) on Tundra

I thought for sure they would go for a double FH, fighting in classical never even occurred to me after they both picked Isis, not a bad game.

Oranos: 2v2 Myself and KS_Perfection(Poseidon) vs. skwizz_Serenity(Poseidon) and skwizz_Training(Juzam/poseidon) on Ghost Lake.

This is a pretty cool game overall I think. Check out shockwave actually stopping a tc from being built, wasn’t sure if it would work but it was pretty cool. Very good game I think.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. mT_bEiNtE as Oranos

He jokingly said “no turmas” at the start of the game. So I said “OK". He said back that he was j/k and that we could use turmas otherwise it would just be cherioballistas and prometheans. Well I stuck with my word just for the heck of it (didn’t expect him to because we never actually agreed to go no turmas) and this is how it turned out… interesting to say the least.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. KGB_Skipper as Isis on Marsh

My biggest mistake here was definietly the fact that I didn’t destroy his obelisk on my hunting it just gave him too much insight into how I was hunting.

This is more like it, game 3 of 3 vs. him and finally I know what I’m doing…. sort of. Who said that atlanteans were all about turmas?

Oranos: 1v1 vs. Jebi_Se as Oranos on Tundra

I honestly don’t know what I was thinking when I went with 3 counter barracks to start with. It really cost me the game I think.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. Jebi_Se as Oranos on Savannah

Not a bad game, I get on him early due to his slow classical time, which gives me a good advantage in my attack, however a good counter-raid by him does some good damage and puts him back into the game. He complained after he was sure he had lost that I had an unfair advantage because I had all those giraffes…. you be the judge as to whose giraffe were actually closer to them heh.

Oranos: 2v2 Myself and KS_Gabriel(Isis) vs. MAD_Nero(Hades) and MAD_Caesar_(Gaia)

This is an extremely long and extremely ummmmm long game hehe. Towers everywhere, fortress’ everywhere. I don’t know if I’ve ever played another game where I completely ran out of accessable trees several times. Anyways they resign at the end because it’s going for too long, things get rather repetitive after a while in this one I think.

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Oranos: 1v1 vs.IEvenescencel as Isis on Alfheim

This is a pretty interesting game, he goes for the standard FH type thing, if rather poorly done, then he just starts massing up the buildings in the middle, which believe me are very tough to get rid of due to the hills/forests/settlement. By 14 minutes he hasn’t even built a troop, but man he sure has a lot of midgols up.

Oranos: 3v3 Myself, KS_Prophecy(Kronos) and KS_Benevolence(Thor) vs. Vinacis_Jaguar1(Odin), OLV_El_Duderino(Kronos) and Anvil25(Poseidon) on Alfheim

Here’s a game that really shows the importance of teamwork. It didn’t matter that I was actually going to lose to my opponent in this one because the damage that I managed to do to the other two players more than made up for my slow but eventual death.

Oranos: 2v2 Myself and KS_Gabriel(Loki) vs. cG_chromage(Oranos) and cG_Blur(Oranos) on Marsh

Good team-work on their part, we go for the early double, but Blurs defenses hold in there long enough for chromage to start to over-run me at home.

Oranos: 2v2 Myself and KS_General (Zeus) vs. AG_HICRET (Oranos) and Olympus_Rizla (Zeus) on Alfheim

I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen hunting like on this map in particular, it’s just amazing how much we start with. Anyways a really good game with lots of teamwork involved, not entirely sure if I’ve posted this one before but it shouldn’t have let me if I did (ussually tells me if I upload a game with the same name :D).

Oranos: 2v2 Myself and KS_Gabriel (Isis) vs. Vinacis_Xavuong (Oranos) and vinacis_IamMinh (Oranos) on Savannah

A really good game, some good teamwork involved in this one. Things go back and forth for a while. I probably went a little bit too heavy on turmas early on, but with a little bit of help from gabe I manage to hang on and make a game of it.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. xC_rock as Odin on Ghost Lake

I do a fast rush on him and after finding a bunch of food villagers out in the open it’s all but over as he loses too many villager seconds to make up.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. ZwerG_Sersch as Isis on Watering Hole

Hmmm looks like I got a bit behind on my posting, this is a rather old game, but still it was after the Titan rush had been discredited. I was quite surprised that he went for a fast titan, but then again some people can’t adapt even if they know the person they are playing against can destroy their strat :).

1 comment ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Oranos: 1v1 vs. Olympus_GoBo_uk as Oranos on Medit

A pretty good game with good land/water battles. He went a little bit too heavy on turmas at one point though and defended the wrong side of the map after I was heroic. Just remember a little bit of walling can go a long ways on medit and that’s likely all he needed to keep him in this one.

1 comment ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Oranos: 1v1 vs. suck_my_dick as Oranos on Savannah

He goes too heavy on turmas early without very much in the way of infantry at all, which gives me a pretty big advantage.

I made a few big mistakes in this one, I didn’t really prepare for his FH (which I knew he was doing) very well, and I went too heavy on turmas, a few katapeltes would have saved me big time I think.

With a little bit of early pressure he really isn’t able to take control of a secondary gold mine which gives me an easy win.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. KS_LordByron as Isis on Oasis

A good game with a little bit of everything in here, I start the pressure early to prevent him from ancestoring my home base and he responds pretty well to it, witness the fall of the titan.

Oranos: 2v2, myself and KS_General(zeus) vs. skwizz_Heuh_(Zeus) and skwizz_warmax(poseidon) on Marsh game 2 of 2

Oranos: 1v1 vs. L_Clan_Capoch as Isis on Medit

The new shooting docks really make medit silly I think, a fairly close game, but my unit selection and lack of upgrades is what really killed me in this one I think.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. MOR_Echo as Isis on Alfheim

A rather old game, I go for a 2 tc early boom (my first try at it) and manage to get a huge economy going, that plus a little bit of raiding buy me enough time to get heroic and start spamming those birds.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. pointblank as Poseidon on Oasis

A bit of an older game but still a pretty good one, I went a bit too heavy on the turmas and that caused me some problems with his army he ended up dropping right at the end but I have a feeling that I know what the outcome was going to be.

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Oranos: 1v1 vs. Pimpalonias as Isis on Savannah

He goes for a big classical army that actually does pretty well due to the fact I was expecting a FH. This one turns into a pretty good game I think, however his very late heroic age time really set him back a few paces.

1 comment ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Oranos: 1v1 vs. MOX_l3rown as Odin on Savannah

Boy am I glad he wasn’t checking the gold mines more often, with the amount there were on this map and how spread out they were, he really could have owned me after taking the initial fights.

1 comment ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Oranos: 1v1 vs. Last_Sephiroth as Isis on Alfheim

Not a bad game, a little on the short side, but he employs a somewhat strange tactic against me that almost fooled me.

1 comment ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Oranos: 1v1 vs. Last_sephiroth as Isis on Ghost Lake

I think that players really need to learn how to read the map better. He complained afterwards that there was no gold for him…. while it may be true he had a long walk to his second gold mine that doesn’t mean he couldn’t have made a much better and earlier attempt to secure said gold mine.

After I played this guy (self rated smurf) he said something to the effect like, I hate AoT auto queue makes it so that even rooks can be good. Watch the game and just look to see how many buildings I use auto-queue on. Guess he’s just more of a rook than he wanted to admit(since I am obviously a rook in his eyes).

Oranos: 1v1 vs. I_Love_Ra as Ra on Ghost Lake

A decent game, he goes for the standard type of slow FH without using rain though, followed by a quick midgol or two. Some good fights ensue, but he doesn’t have the pop slots to fight me with 3 tcs to 1 at several points.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. FOX_Animal as Loki on Marsh

He pulls off a really powerful rush here and almost manages to take me out in one swift blow. However he made a few key mistakes in staying under my tc fire without really accomplishing a lot, a lack of support units (cav) really cost him as well.

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Oranos: 1v1 vs. FOX_Animal as Oranos on Anatolia

it becomes fairly obvious to me that he’s going for an all out land rush by the amount of scouts he sends straight to my base at the start. Turned out I was wrong as he docked the top-side to try and take out my fishing. However with shooting docks going water half doesn’t really do enough damage, and going all out is suicide.

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Oranos: 1v1 vs. FOX_EliteX as Ra on Midgard

A really excellent game. I threw a few too many troops at him early and really didn’t concentrate my attack enough. I also should have taken him off fishing earlier.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. ECT_Lafaet as Odin on Tundra

There were some close early battles, but yet again he didn’t put any pressure on my economy and that left me free to do what I wanted. Atlantean econ is just too good early on to leave alone.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. CRIMINIMINAL as Oranos on Medit

I really wanted to see if going waterless was an option on this map, I think that my approach was rather confused though, at first I was going water then I wasn’t going to, bleh I didn’t have a clear strat in mind and it cost me vs. a smurf.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. cG_Chromage as Oranos on Marsh

For a while I thought I was done for, I couldn’t find my third gold mine and was quite worried I’d be stuck in classical. The real key to this one was my choice in god powers, and his very isolated tc.

Very intense game, the only question that begs to be answered is where the heck did my third tc go? I didn’t really count them off the start because you just kind of assume there will be 2 extra tcs on the map for every player there is, apperently I was wrong :D. gg.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. TroyBR as Isis on Highland game 1 of 2

He tries the fast titan on me, if you want to see how to defeat a titan rusher here is how I think. It’s very easy to do I think, you just have to realize you can’t play the same way that you’re used to playing (it’s called adapting to new situations).

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Oranos: 1v1 vs. TroyBR as Isis on Ghost lake, game 2 of 2

He tries to use the fast titan strategy on me again, this time he has a slightly better map from which to try and pull it off, but still I don’t see why there are many experts complaining that this strategy is unbeatable and overpowered.

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Oranos: 1v1 vs. IamRuSsIaN as Isis on Alfheim

A bit of poor execution on his part caused him to lose an awful lot of villagers. I didn’t really know what he was trying to do strat-wise because I had never heard of the titan rush (or whatever they call it) before. As a result I kind of played too defensive at points in this game where I could have easily been choking him off. Other than that I made a few mistakes (fighting his ancestors under his tc was a bit silly), but still not too hard to overcome.

He gets me on my heels early on in this one, but a couple of keys mistakes and an awful lot of gold control gave me an edge later on. If you watch this, take a look at the 12 min mark or so where our armies collide, my army just kinda stands there for a few seconds, weird eh?

Oranos: 1v1 vs. Heavens_Myst as Oranos on Medit

I lose water, but so what really, it only took me about 2 minutes after having lost water to get up to maximum villagers, then it was just a matter of starving him of gold.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. Salska fr as Odin on Oasis

those 3 free scouts sure do make it easy to tell where the critical gold is at, which is especially handy on a map like this.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. Salska_fr as Odin on Medit

Game 2 of 2 vs salska. I don’t quite get the atlanten gods on water. Their ships are cheaper by 30 res (20 wood 10 gold), but have 2 less attack, 50 less hit points, 5% less pierce armour and in exchange get 1.75 more speed. While speed is all well and good it really doesn’t do all that much in 90% of sea battles.

Oranos: 3v3 Myself, KS_General(Zeus) and KS_Zorgile(Oranos) vs. KS_Harg(Oranos) DBD_Ally(Oranos) and DBD_Bacardi(Kronos) on Highland

Not knowing there was fishing really hurt them in this game, it made it a little bit unfair in our advantage.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. cG_Player as Odin on Ghost Lake

I’m not quite sure I understand his base placement, not that it really plays a huge role, but I’m sure I would have had more troubles if he had built his military buildings within the confines of his base.

Oranos: 2v2 with 3 rookies……

Let this game be a lesson to you all, if you want a 1v1 then search for a 1v1 not a ?v? because you might end up in a game like this. All these guys had sub 1520 ratings according to the thing (self rated likely) so it basically just became a joke of a game and I’m sure they didn’t enjoy it, although my partner did get a few tips this being his first game of AoM at all.

Oranos: 2v2 Myself and KS_Prophecy(Gaia) vs. HuntingSeason(Kronos) and CuRe_JoShAcE3(Oranos) on Highland

I knew that prophecy would be in trouble with the civ matchup he had on his side (gaia sucks vs. Kronos IMO) so tried to help him. Unfortunately the distance between our two towns was pretty huge and so by the time I made it there I had to be back at my own town. Long story short, good game :).

Oranos: 2v2 Myself and KS_General(Kronos) vs. juggs(Kronos) and Germ_(Odin) on Savannah

Once you get going with atlanteans it can be darn tough to stop, however some excellent teamwork by them really kept me on my toes with my army never in the right place at the right time, gg.

Oranos: 1v1 vs zippy_pAoM as Oranos on Tundra

I think it’s a really big mistake trying to take a forward tc so early, you might be able to get away with a defensive one if the possition is right, but going forward is just asking for trouble.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. UKAK_Mighty as Oranos on Highland game 3 of 3

I’ve learned my lesson, once I got the advantage going in this one I tried not to let up.

Oranos: 1v1 vs UKAK_Mighty as Oranos on Highland, game 2 of 3

I made 2 big mistakes here. The first was forgetting about the titan (which lead to a couple smaller mistakes) the second was not pressing fast enough when I had a clear population advantage.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. UKAK_Mighty as Oranos on Oasis game 1 of 3

The far spread gold mines really made this one easy once I got a bit of an advantage going.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. Speakerboxx as Poseidon on Oasis

I hate it when people steal my TC it’s such a pain to get back in classical, but at least it is possible.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. Hope Point as Poseidon on Oasis

A nice try at a tc grab by him early on, but a bit of distraction and a lot of infantry put me back on even footing.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. Family guy as Kronos on Oasis

A little bit of lucky timing on my temple gives him a big enough lead militarily that he can just keep on rolling very easily.

Oranos: 1v1 vs csi_inc as Isis on Savannah

It’s quite amazing how well atlanteans (despite their poor hero system) can deal with the ancestors eclipse combo.

Oranos: 1v1 vs. Cheddarmon as Kronos on Midgard

With the ability to build tcs in classical is water as important as it used to be?

Oranos: 1v1 vs. cG_storM as Oranos on Watering Hole

I kinda had poor troop selection here, as well I really messed up with my 4th age GP, I should have run to the gate and transported back to my base if need be.

Oranos: 1v1 vs Wasting_Time as Kronos on Alfheim

Hmmmm I was kinda talking to someone on MSN while playing the start of this game… thus the lack of villagers hehe. Anyways this guy really should have and could have had me if he had kept his troops flowing better, his econ kicked mine in the nuts, phew!
