I guess all that stuff is full of crap but it looks cool =:-)
After losing to the massive sapper attack (see the sapper city story) , I was quite impressed with that strategy. I found Muzzy in Kchat, my smurf buddy, haha, and I told him the story. We decided to go smurfing (smurfing means go make up names and kill newbies or intermediate players). This was maybe an hour or so after the Sapper City Story. Well Muzzy and I decided to try the massive sapper strategy.
Before I start, let me tell you about the taco deal. The other day, someone, Chanman I think, told me and Muzzy that people are calling Goblin Alchemists Taco bells. So Muzzy and I have taken to calling them taco bells too, haha.
Well we made up our names. I'm partial to Cap'n'Crunch and GoldenGrams so I made up the names :). We decided to serve a game and wait to see who joins. Well dcengr and Bomb decided to join. I was a bit afraid of the name Bomb, especially after playing sapper and kaboom. I made the sugguestion that the cereals should be partners. The other two agreed to be partners. But they said we will team if we feel like it. I think they thought they were so good that they didn't need any partner. haha.
Well We started out. It was the maze on medium resources. I was quite scared. I didn't think I could pull the sapper strategy off. Well I made about 3 guard towers into the entrance of my village as soon as I could. Then I walled in the bottom entrance with Farms. I upgraded to Stronghold. As soon as I hit stronghold, I whipped out 2 Taco Bells. I made 2 more when I got the chance. About that time, Bomb dropped. Then two sappers popped out. I sent them straight down to Dcengr. I took out his barracks and farms. I kept sending in the sappers 4 at a time. I made some more taco bells.
So Dcengr decided to send in everything he had against my town. But he had to walk through about 5 guard towers. He didn't last long. It was then that Muzzy sent in a huge amount of sappers, 9 maybe? And totally obliterated his entire town. Dcengr was left with about 4 or so peons. It was then that I chased them down with sappers and he was eliminated.
I was quite surprised that it worked so well. Sure I admit it was totally no fair to Dcengr. 2 on 1 and all that. He was pretty nice. He didn't get mad or anything. So that game was over and QUICK!
We did the same thing. I built arrow towers to prevent attack. I built 4 taco bells and started pumping out the tacos :). I sent them in. They were quite surprised. I didn't really kill anything cool. I had big problems getting them there and to get anything.
It was then that Coldblood figured out what we were doing. He goes why are you guys only building sappers. Of course we just laughed to ourselves and said nothing. I whipped out some more taco bells and was making tacos like crazy. I sent in like 5 sappers at a time. I kept getting his towers before he could upgrade them or after he just built them. It was then that Coldblood started getting really mad. Muzzy and I were laughing so hard. Coldblood starts going "Cheap really Cheap." We didn't say anything but kept laughing.
Coldblood kept leaving his messages on by mistake. He says to Apollo, send berzerkers, they are sending in tons of sappers. So we laugh some more. Then Apollo decided to attack me with some footmen and a bunch of archers. He attacked my weak side. I thought I was pretty much gone but he decided to attack my towers which wasted him. I had my peons wacking on his guys too :). Grunts? Hell no.
Then I discovered that Orange had a new Hall. I informed Muzzy and sent over 4 sappers. I got there and ran through Coldblood's peons who were trying desperatly to attack my sappers :). Muhahahahhaha. I took his hall. He was pretty mad. It was starting to get nasty between us. Muzzy was just laughing. Coldblood was pissed beyond belief. Saying all manner of things about us. haha.
So then I was really screwed. I ran outta gold. I had to do the peon gold train to get enough money for a hall. But I finally got the money and started building even more taco bells and sappers. I then amassed a huge group of sappers. I ran in and took out lots of his good stuff. Muzzy followed me in and got rid of almost everything in Cold bloods town. He had huge armies of Sappers. haha.
I guess Coldblood tried to rebuild his 2nd hall. I flew over and saw that Muzzy had set up some towers next to it so the peons could not mine and so they hit the hall. Man Coldblood didn't seem to like that either.
Well I was finished with Coldblood pretty much so I took a look at Apollo. Muzzy had a Taco bell in apollo's town. Apollo was beating on it with footmen I belive. He got rid of the taco bell in his town. I guess Apollo hates tacos. hahahahaha :)
I sent a peon down to build a Taco bell of my own near his town. Then Muzzy and I noticed that Apollo was taking all his guys and going somewhere else. He decided to head to my town. He came in and started beating on my towers. I made 1 grunt and peon attacked his guys. I took him down. It was at that point he left the game I believe. I made another grunt and went up and attacked the few farms left in Coldblood's Original town. I had my sappers attacking the farms instead of destroying them, haha.
Well I guess Muzzy's tower at oranges hall got destroyed or something. So I sent my 2 grunts and sapper up to take the hall. I was beating on it with 2 grunts and a sapper. It was then Coldblood made some remark about my level 1 grunts. I said "blacksmith, who needs it?" He said something like that's really cheap. I was sorta getting mad, so I go "Well if cheap is kicking your ass, call me cheap." I also told him the exact thing was done to me today and I didn't get mad. He also said something about I'm an idiot for killing his hall instead of his peons. Well What did I care? We had that game. I had like 25 sappers around. Any new hall he could have built would be gone just like that. So I got rid of the hall and some peons.
It was then that I discovered that He had one Berzerker and some grunts roaming the map. I chased him down with a few sappers and peons. I killed all of his guys but a grunt with a sapper blast. I then finished off the last level 5 grunt with a bunch of peons. Coldblood didn't seem to happy to have peons taking him down. "Peons? you must be joking" he said.
That game was so much fun. It's much more fun when you are the ones making the tacos instead of eating them :).
Muzzy had Taco bells all across the whole map. He opened a regular chain of them :).
Muzzy and I decided to mass grunt Coldblood to show him who is boss. I got out a bunch of grunts. I decided to go up and attack Casper instead. But Crossover blows so I got lost. I decided to attack Coldblood instead. It was then Muzzy informed me that He had taken out Coldblood's grunts. I ran in with mine and it was about then that Coldblood said the game was over. I didn't believe him and continued to hack on his town. I then go "hmm level 2 grunts?" He was making fun of mine last time. It was then that he told us about his hall. If you play orange, you got to mine a million miles from your hall. He was right, he was screwed from the beginning.
We then went in on Casper. Muzzy said something about Casper only have 1 grunt to defend himself. I came in with the ogres and took him out. Sometime around then, Coldblood figured out I was Shlonglor. I told him GoldenGrams was Muzzy. He surrendered and we went to kchat.
After a long time talking in kchat about everything, I think Coldblood stopped being mad. I think we became friends after that. So Coldblood is ok. Just like me, he needs not to get mad at War 2 games.
Well that is the story. I learned that the defense against a million sappers is to get those guys before they get the sappers. I think you might want to take out the peons mining and chopping. If you let them get up 4 or so Taco bells, then you are probably screwed. Attack them before they make the stuff.
That day was so much fun. We went from getting sappered by Azure and Marshall, to doing it to someone else. We shared the fun, haha.
