Sunday Smackdown #10 - Factory Wagon Start

[Interjection]

Normal supremacy except players begins the game with a factory wagon that can be placed in age 1. The upgrades are available in age 1 too. Heavy cannons cannot be made until IV. Factory upgrades & cannons will be enabled for TWC & TAD civs.

$50 prize.

Will not be streamed, will be recorded locally and posted on my YouTube channel.

Best of 7.

Played on ESOC Standard Maps.

Please post below if you would like to play.

Cool idea!

[Kaiserklein]

That's interesting, should be fun. The only sad thing is that everyone is gonna train heavies since they're an op age 4 unit and much better than anything you could do with the resources from the factory. So it's just gonna be heavies vs. heavies fights every game probably?

[Interjection]

It's a concern

Takes 2 mins for a heavy to produce

[gibson]

should lock heavies to age 4 tbh, otherwise the games just gonna come down to who micros heavies better, cause if you get even 1 heavy behind you will just auto lose.

[Interjection]

Okay let's do that

[Kaiserklein]

Unless the heavy cannon training time gets significantly increased in lower ages or something like that. 2 mins is usually long, but since you start with a factory, it means you hit age 2 with 2 heavies already haha

[uberjz]

Sounds interesting, I'll be excited to watch this

[vividlyplain]

Anyone else wanna see siege dance with heavies?

[bwinner]

I want to play that

[Mosx]

Make this as 2v2 event?

[pecelot]

[boyu]

Maybe it should be done such that heavies can be made in age 3, since at least then you can make culvs as a hard counter?

[Kaiserklein]

Yeah age 3 would be fine

[SirCallen]

Top civs on this? Jap?

[Kaiserklein]

Top civs on this? Jap?

With heavies, I guess otto because abus help win the heavies fights?
Without heavies, probs jap yeah, I guess they benefit the most from extra resources early on. Or maybe india idk.

[[Armag] diarouga]

Brit?

[SirCallen]

VC boom with fact on wood in transition is big Kreygasm

[SirCallen]

Petard strats for days

[Kaiserklein]

Brit?

Dunno, brits are fast already, not sure if the extra res helps them as much as for example japan. I can see some port consulate + kami build being really scary. Like fact on wood if it's not a wood start to get consulate + shrine, then fact on food to age up asap, fact back to wood and spam 70w shrines

[bwinner]

Otto could be top cuz it impacts much more their economy than other

[Mr_Bramboy]

Or Dutch. Invest resources from the factory to gain more options to generate resources. It's like a trickle down effect but stronger.

And petard shipment.

[dansil92]

I was thinking india would be the scariest with a factory since it removes the need to chop any wood for them, and heavy-sepoy would be reallllly scary

[SirCallen]

I like this with heavies in IV. It's a toned down version of 2x shipments. Heavies are really lame, if you lose heavy fight you just lose.
