Isis: 1v1 vs. Calvooressi as Oranos on Savannah

A game…. priest rush if I remember right I posted it by accident then post dated it to hide it, then forgot about it until now :).

Isis: 1v1 vs. TOAO_ChronoJJ as Isis on Marsh

Here’s a good example of how playing random civ to get your experience with all the civs really sets you back. It’s a pretty sad game on my part as I really don’t do a whole lot to him and fall into the same problems I do every time I play egypt, not enough buildings.

Isis: 1v1 vs. KoN_Black as Isis on Alfheim

There’s a nice little villager war at the start of this one, followed by him going for a Titan which never seems to work against me when I’m Isis.

Isis: 2v2 Myself and CR_Nemesis(Oranos) vs. Vagabond_Bliss(Zworny, Odin) and Vagabond_Liberty(Mojo, Ra) on Highland

A pretty decent game, just goes to show how unimportant water can be sometimes. The real key to this one though was having his army on one side fighting off my tc grab attempt while another full army came at him from his front side to take out his second tc.

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

I go for a fast priest rush which works fairly well. The only thing that really causes me problems here is that we both have two gold mines in our starting base, but other than that a fairly succesful try.

Isis: 1v1 vs. Magig_star as Oranos on Savannah

This is how the priest rush is supposed to work for the most part. I did let him get away with a few too many things at some points but in the end it didn’t matter.

Isis: 1v1 vs. eX_Insanity as Hades on Oasis

Ummmm very short game I harras his vils with a priest and he gives up…. wonder if he knows scout>priest

Isis: Myself and StormBringer_LoL(Ra) vs. hZ_Flank(Odin) and Mystic_Soul_(Pos) on savannah

A pretty short game. Flank went a bit too far forward so he could take advantage of a double resource (wood and gold together). This left him pretty wide open to a decent Isis rush.

Isis: 1v1 vs. Fortune_(Jebi_se) as Hades on Alfheim

Easily a game I should have won. I fooled around a bit too much though and it cost me.

Isis: 1v1 vs. Rayden_ad as Oranos on Alfheim

He went a bit too heavy on wood/gold early on and it slowed him down too much to recover from.

Isis: 1v1 vs. Fortune_(Jebi_Se) as Oranos on Marsh

I was planning on priest rushing him to some extent, unfortunately it turned out that he had waaaay too good of gold within his base, so I decided against that. Unforunately I don’t know FH strats as Isis because I don’t really try it too often, oh well hehe.

Isis: 1v1 vs. Thud as Isis on Savannah

He goes for a FH while I decide to stay in classical and fight. It actually makes for a fairly interesting game.

Isis: 1v1 vs. Olympus_Noob as Isis on Watering Hole

Yay another Fast Titan player, I have a bit of difficulty with this one due to a bit of a slow start, I really should have taken my 2nd tc much sooner.

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

An interesting strategy by him, he made a few really good military moves to gain a tc advantage and after that it was all downhill for me.

Isis: 1v1 vs. KS_Murciano as Isis on Watering Hole

Watch as he uses a cookie cutter strat and expects I suppose he expects it to win really.

Isis: 1v1 vs. cG_Chromage as Isis on Medit

After briefly winning water I decide to abanndon it when he makes a comeback, and instead boom away on land. Controlling that top tc became pretty important in keeping his army small enough to deal with I think.

Isis: 1v1 vs. Au_Cerebral as Loki on Marsh

I decided to fool around with an awful lot of priests in this one, they actually manage to do the trick not too bad.

Isis: 1v1 vs. Lovely_Maiden as Oranos on Midgard

Sending all those units in to his forward tc one by one really cost him a lot of units for nothing that tc was going down, time to regroup and launch some raids elsewhere while my army is busy.

Isis: 1v1 vs. NoFx_mooglefish as Hades on Alfheim

We get into some pretty good fights here, and the game drags on a bit longer than it probably could have, but a good game nonetheless.

Isis: 3v3 Myself, DBD_Kaiser(Thor), and Random_Chaos(Loki) vs. Lytes(Zeus), DBD_Ally(Loki), and DBD_Hakubai(Pos) on Savannah, DM game.

Nothing really spectacular here, just your run of the mill 3v3 DM game.

Isis: 3v3 Deathmatch Myself, KS_Gabriel(Hades), and MOR_Sucker(Thor) vs. DBD_Alexander(Pos), DBD_Wolfman(Set) and DBD_Ally(Zeus) on Savannah

The odd DM game can sure be fun, I think poor alexander just forgot to click mythic age for so long that he really didn’t have much chance.

Isis: 1v1 vs. TOAO Caleb as Isis on Anatolia, Lightning Match

Those axemen down by his dock that decided to just stand around for a very long time really threw me off in this one, I couldn’t figure out why I had no pop, guess I gotta look at the mini map a bit more :).

Isis: 1v1 vs. Sexy_Bexy as Ra on Medit, Lightning Match

Grrrrrr inexperience really got the better of me here. I wasn’t thinking the gold mines are so incredibly important, but of course they are since trade is so limited and so weak in comparison to gold mining.

Isis: 3v3 Myself, KS_Gabriel(Odin) and KS_Fuzzy(Odin) vs. hope_Shock(thor), TwinGonadsOfDoom(love the name, Isis) and The_Grave_Digger(Poseidon) on Alfheim

Another fun team game here, lots of teamwork involved with the game turning into 2.5 vs. 2.5 as each team basically has one partner wiped out. I could have likely saved fuzzy from his certain death, but I felt killing off Shock was a more effective route to victory. I’m still not sure if I was right in this decision but there’s no way of going back to tell.

Isis: 3v3 Myself, KS_Fuzzy(Odin) and KS_Gabriel(Odin) vs. The_Grave_Digger(Pos), Au_Weapon(Thor) and x2_km(Odin) on Medit

x2_km surprised us all a little bit for fighting on water for as long as he did, if all his partners had done likewise we might have actually lost water due to starting in on land pretty hard after thinking water was ours already. Gotta love those crocs in heroic age.

They quickly take it to us on water and recovery is tough.

Isis: 1v1 vs. WW_Headshot_de as Set on Medit

Yet another silly use of serpents, he could have easily covered two docks with them, but instead chose to cover only the top half of one. This is the game that prompted this post. I nearly fell off my chair when he resigned because I had no clue that I had “won” the game.

I take a strong forward position in this one and just don’t let up.

Isis: 1v1 vs. I Love Anika as Set on Savannah

A few too many big animals in this one for me to handle which causes me to have to use ancestors at an undesirable time and location.

I get off to a realy slow start in this one which sets me back a bit. Things start to turn around though.

Isis: 1v1 vs. eX_Hope as Isis on Midgard

My weak economy gets the better of me in this one. The tc setup didn’t really help things all that much either unfortunately.

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Isis: 1v1 vs. Grrr_o_O as set on Watering Hole

It’s a real shame he dropped here, was turning out to be a pretty good game I think. Worth a watch but I’m not sure if I had a chance in this one or not.

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Isis: 1v1 vs. Dream_of_life as Thor on Midgard

The gold was pretty much screwed up on this one, however he did have 1 gold pile near his base and that should have been enough to have lasted somewhat longer I’m sure, but he lost too much by wasting his flaming weapons how he did.

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Isis: 1v1 vs. DaDaPower as Set on Ghost Lake

Pretty good game. I get some map control in this one where I didn’t really think that I was. Luckily for me Set doesn’t get SoO like Isis does hehe :).

Isis: 3v3 Myself, Try_Set(Set) and no_futur(Pos) vs. BsK_Falcon(Ra), BsK_Vengence(Isis) and IamCyrix(Isis) on Midgard.

A pretty good game I think, lots of teamwork on both sides, gg BsK.

Isis: 1v1 vs. Yakula as Set on Alfheim

I should have really had this game I think, I just let the gold slip through my fingers, after that it was all over because of the slim ridges running around my base I couldn’t really get a good trade route up even if I tried.

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Isis: 1v1 vs. www_xms_com_tw as Set on Watering Hole

He made a nice mistake in going for my tc first…. then he got a tonne of upgrades instead of building units, so basically I just stomped on his upgraded ass.

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Isis: 1v1 vs. eX_Wolf as Thor on Oasis

I got a little bit too weak at just the wrong time and it set me back a fair amount, I really should have had this game but didn’t get the military buildings down early enough, or get my econ really rocking.

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Isis: 1v1 vs. Senf_Jense_ch as Thor on Anatolia

Yet again map control is what this map comes down to in 95% of the games played on it, if you can’t get the gold you can’t get the win.

Isis: 1v1 vs. Maitre Kanter as Loki on Savannah

I go for the fast heroic with a meagre defense of priests and my pharoah. It works but I made a few mistakes, I think I really should have built a few anubites just to distract his home economy in early classical, oh well :D.

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Isis: 1v1 vs. L_Clan_Pi as Set on Savannah

Those free animals cause me some troubles early on, luckily Isis gets a good combo for Ancestors and that gains me enough of an advantage to make a game of it.

Isis: 1v1 vs. Koty as Poseidon on Alfheim

A lack of important upgrades realy hurt me in this one.

Isis: 1v1 vs. ELENT as Odin on Ghost Lake

I decide to go for sphinx for some reason in this one, then I misplay things a little bit with his walking woods (I should have just sacrificed a few units and gotten the woods to chase me to a corner of the map).

Isis: 1v1 vs. Iamsky_tw as Set on Oasis.

Anything I can do set can do better. At least that’s the way this one felt to me. Maybe if I was a pure Isis player I could have made a game of this, but I’m not so this is the best I could do….. on my first game for a week or so :).

Isis: 1v1 vs. Thor_Rookie as Set on Oasis

Something tells me this guy does the same strategy every game, of course he wasn’t smart enough to figure out that it wouldn’t work so well vs. Isis due to my monuments. Pretty silly strategy by him vs. an Isis player.

Isis: 2v2 Myself and eX_WOLF(Hades) vs. StorM_Glouky(Isis) and eX_Dynamos(zeus) on Ghost lake.

Really close and intense game. I almost cost us the game early by not remembering correctly where that darn Aurochs was (hence the mostly built mill in the middle of nowhere). I manage to come back from it though (rather slowly) and things take off from there. Worth a watch for sure.

Isis: 4v4 that turns into a 3v3, Myself, KS_Harp(Zeus) and KS_Gabriel(Poseidon) vs. FletcherThunder(Isis), Milko(Ra) and HYND(Loki) on Savannah.

They just got too many tcs ahead on us in this one, really made it too difficult to keep up with them ecenomically and militarily.

Isis: 1v1 vs. IamShiauZen as Set

This game really frustrated me for a couple of reasons. First off I just feel the other egyptians have no chance vs. set. On top of that I just missed seeing all the hunting on the map which really set me back ecenomically and slowed me down to the point where I may as well have quit in archaic.
