The rules for the next troll game (5th July) I will be posting is: Soviets No tanks / missile launchers No base crawling into enemy bases. It means the only types of attack can be by air or by infantry. However the game will probably not be like you are expecting.
@@ZacktheReaper sounds awesome! And listen, you don’t need to sell me on it- I LOVE your videos. And great to see the channel getting bigger too. If you are open to advice, I’d say start posting some polls with questions on the types of games to show etc. more engagement there will lead to better a better algorithm, more visibility and a great way to interact with your subs outside of the comments section. Keep it up!
troll games are very entertaining, thanks. Good to see the others took it with grace, they'll learn (or should learn) from this experience. Should not be frustrating for others, if they scouted better and/or saw what happened in their first encounter then they'd know something like this was coming and countered with something suitable, such as their own base crawl or something earlier on to stop your map control. Once someone is boxed in and starved of ore it's a game of attrition which the one with ore will most likely win unless some equally non-tank strategy is used such as an APC with some Tanya's, they could've reeked havoc on your base behind the initial turret line, I think I saw one of your videos when this kind of counter was employed and worked pretty well, fight fire with fire.
yes i think the big mistake of theirs was not expanding to the other ore patches sooner. I was able to take control of most of the map and they were very restricted in the ore they could access.
Really fun to watch! I guess it is quite frustrating if somebody launches this tactic, and you cannot do anything about it. Although I think green should have build some airstrips and then destroy your ore refineries.
I think the big mistake they made is not expanding their bases to different parts of the map. I got too much map control so had the economy to produce masses of rangers.
I tried using Ranger's only but on a mega map! Man that was a tough game!! I ended up losing but I put up a hell of a fight with just Rangers. Got to love Green saying "Defence!!" thinking he's doing a great job defending against you, he just doesn't realise you're trolling and if using regular Tanks he'd be a dead man! hahaha
Thanks glad you enjoyed it. The map with the fast growing ore is not a bug it was actually designed that way. I remember playing a map like it on Command and Conquer Retaliation on the ps1.
At last the episode I’ve been waiting for, I’ve been meaning to ask for Rangers (they used to be v effective for scouting and anti-infantry when I played the OG). You built a tank but I won’t tell anyone 😅
Good job, well, I tried Ranger only before, good thing is Ranger can do tank battle, APC can't (APC is more like Artillery, need to toward target to attack), but APC can take more damage, also can crush infantry. With lots Rangers can do serious damage, if need to against AI will need right map, I tried 7 Hard AI with only Ranger before, but need right map.
Swarms of rangers seemed terrible against tanks but great at base diving buildings. I wonder if you could have dived greens power plants at the back of his base early on?
Yeah rangers are terrible against tanks it makes it very hard. They do seem to do better against building if you can dive them but if the player uses base defences rangers aren't so good.
LOVE troll games. Gotta do an air-force and base defense only game!

Soviets
No tanks / missile launchers
No base crawling into enemy bases.

12:30 red starts attacking your base and you start to attack green. Red must've like wtf? Seeing all your rangers just leave while he was attacking😅😅
Mad lad. I've always wanted to see this. Rangers have decent hp but their short range gun is what really makes them a bad unit.
Yes they are definitely not good when used against tanks.

Lol, almost identical to what I just typed! I guess I agree with you!
Really fun game to watch! Nice opponents to!
Thanks yeah the opponents were great in this game.
You're such a meanie! xD GG, you realize after this, they're all gonna try ranger spam their next game?
lol I sometimes wonder if I am ever going to see these troll tactics used against me in a game.
Zack is an economy monster
enjoyed this one very much!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it.

What surprises me is how most player just forget the importance of map control, which Zack does perfectly
Love it mate enjoyed this live this map I love that bug ore one where it’s difficult to build as there to much ore
Thanks glad you enjoyed it. The map with the fast growing ore is not a bug it was actually designed that way. I remember playing a map like it on Command and Conquer Retaliation on the ps1.

lol didn't notice that had to watch the replay. Mis-click at least it got destroyed by the tesla.

The Rangers didn't seem too bad at taking down harvs. I didn't expect their guns to do much
Yes they didn't seem too bad against harvesters or building. They do get wrecked in tanks battles though.
Ranger danger!
lol when red started building Rangers as well. The new meta has been established! You should change your name to RobertRogerstheReaper.
lol

Awesome match
Thanks:)
This was awesome!!!
Glad you enjoyed it:)
Did some of your (accidentally?) built mobile radar jammers actually help for once?!
omg ur opponents were so passive! lol or or you're just so good your opponents seem really bad
In my next troll video lets just say my opponents are not so passive.
Great match! Is there any unit you can't win with?
green such abad player sitting back then attacking when red out of game, jus stupid
They both needed to expand out from their bases early on to take control of other ore patches.
