Spring RTS Engine

My worsth team mate was a guy that failed completly allowing the enemy to enter his destroyed base and then come to my not-defended-from-that-direction one.

I've had a guy complain about me building energy storage (to cloak my boy), despite me wasting lots less metal than he did on excess AA and the fact that I managed to get 2000 metal for the price of two LLTs earlier (d-gunned the other 500 so the enemy wouldn't get it).

He also tried to reclaim it with his nanoturrets. Not that it did much harm, but it's rather annoying that your ally suddenly has the need to complain and try to stop your strategy even when it's working perfectly.

Not worst though.

Or, as I like to call it "a typical game on Altored Divide".

It wasnt in altored divided, and it wasnt a "your team mate tried the most he could, but was gradually pushed back to his base and then killed" it was a "your team mate did a few energy/metal structures and then advanced with his com but lost his com before doing anything allowing the enemy to crush his few energy/metal structures and then attack my base from the flank his base should be covering"...

Better team mates sounds better for me...

Crossing_4 then? Either way, this is why I prefer maps where there is a certain amount of geographical separation between allies (Sunken Outpost, for all its faults, does not suffer from the "ally is dead, game over" problem).

I saw a guy building solar walls between him and his allies in Comet Catcher to minimize damage. That's something you can do :P

I saw that too. In fact, I think we were both spectating that game.
That is a good idea by the way

Solars... too high a metal cost for my liking.

a guy in the last game I was in made a lab, two solars, then walked across the map to the enemy base and got pwned by two rockos. then he sat afk leaving the lab idle. gah.

Well, you're gonna be building them anyways, right? On Comet Catcher, especially. I like that plan.

Yes, because not being able to go directly from allied base to allied base in a high stakes game of Comet Catcher is ALWAYS the best plan.

Well, on a team game of more than 6 players, if the enemy gets that far behind your defences, it's already lost.
