A few questions

Post by frenchfantom »

Hey all, i just had a few questions about settings or strategy on TAD.
1. First off, how do i get the starting pause jsut before the beginning of the game to be longer? i find i dont have enough time to get all my vils where they need to be and my explorer out before the pause ends.
2. I watch VODS where when an army is sieging a building the building starts losing pieces. How do i get that cinematic on?
3. Dutch skirm or Musk huss?
4. How/when to effectively switch to a certain ressource. i.e. xbow/pike rush with germans, how/when to get vils on gold for uhlans/age3.
5. pattern/trick to follow when scouting
6. pattern/trick to follow when placing buildings
I'm forgetting some but ill let u know. Thanks for responses ! :P

1. Get a worse computer
2. Not sure, its one of the options in graphical settings
3. Skirm or Musk Huss? Musk Huss
4. Send 700 coin and send 3 SW over to coin
5. Your base, then middle, then other base, if 2 scouts, your base + enemy base then close on middle (or left + right then close on middle)
6. Depends on what civ

i like the questions
#1 just be faster! :-P i find the time you get to be sufficient
#2 as cheesehat said, it's a graphic setting
#3 didn't understand the question

#4,5 and 6 cannot be answered with a simple answer, it's something you find out yourself after a while ;-)

oops sorry i meant goon skirm/musk huss. for #1 i see h2o's broadcast it goes soooooo slow at beginning i mean the pause is huge! it gives him all the time in the world to start positioning all his units. so i cant affect it?

1. cheesehat is wrong, the reason you get a starting pauze is because your oponent pc is a tad to slow when loading. This can happen because his pc acts a bid weard when starting, etc...

The not having a start pauze when your enemy has is not that much a problem in supremacy, you can easly fast click. Only in dm it can realy hurt you.

solution: defragmente your pc, and make sure their are not to many process running in the background.

Imo, get a REALLY GOOD computer then you'll load much faster than your opponent and have more time. If you get a worse computer it won't help you, it will help the opponent xD

Skirm goon against musk hussar depends on the civ imo.

If you are brit do musk hussar because their musks pwn. And they have nice hussars upgrades too.

And against spain musk hussar too I think.
