Now that the broadcast game is wrapping up, I think we need a place to post some highlights, bluffs, fun specialist combos, etc.

For this thread I'm thinking just short videos (1-2 min or so) that give some quick context and then jump into the highlight. More like a sports highlight reel, than a point by point breakdown of a game.

Side note, is there anyway to embed videos?

Braxo and the assassination of the four kings
An instant classic.

Beat at his own game



I definitely prefer the fight rather than mining race. In this game, ron was a bit worried that Adama, Rick and I would gang up on him. It just so happened, right before I eliminated ron, Rick switched sides to fight for him. Allowing Adama, Cuppa, and I to finish the game with a win. At the beginning of the video, I accidentally referred to ron as rick.

Especially fun win with the mild taunting he sent towards you. That's a perfect use of the navigator to hang out outside his sonar range. I've copied Ron's queen/inspector combo he shared on the forums a bunch of times. It's really good at the beginning of the game when people don't have many troops to send at you.

I also noticed he left a martyr at his mine. That means there's no way anyone can take it now, right?

I have been thinking of doing one of these for a previous game of ours, Braxo. Remember the super sentry mess??

Braxo's assassination of road was definitely the play of the game. Had he not thought of that and pulled it off the game would have played out incredibly different.
