Hi Vannars! I am not a strategist or even a good player. But I have been watching a lot of replays lately and was curious how this went. USF seems to be a troubled faction at the moment. Either heavy early wins or slow losses once tanks show up.

You had a lot of good plays early and pushed your opponent off the map. But you did not kill anything. A few minutes in and your are both at 10 kills each. So you get a false sense of winning. When all you did was delay their teching.

Most of the early game you controlled a lot of territory but your opponent still had4 points and a fuel. So their fuel income was 23 where yours was 26. Again you feel like you are dominating since most of the map is blue!

Early mid game you did really well moving your army around the north side. Many USF players tend to blob and then they lose teching. You did not. You spread out and took multiple points! You could have pushed the enemy fuel more when pushing into the north.

Vilshanka has one important engagement point. The fuel cutoff. That is where you should be focusing 90% of your attacks. Either sweep north and contest the fuel or fight into the cutoff.

PLAYING TIPS
It seemed like your reaction time to grenades was a little slower than your enemy. Could be internet lag or micro. But that led to you taking more damage than you were inflicting.

Several times you rushed the Pgrens with your Bars. Maybe that is an issue since the Pgrens have super high DPS up close? Again maybe that led to the slow bleed.

Cool match it was fun to watch! Hopefully someone good gives you better advice, cheers.

You definetly need to be a creator for maps loading screens wallpapers! Amazing!

Thats why I made the City 17 picture. I am making a heavy modified version that pulls the fuels a little more to the middle. And I needed a loading screen

Playing with CITY 17 in the worldbuilder

Random teammate automatch is always going to be a disaster. If people can blame their teammate, they will.

^this

1v1 Blame map.
Team games: Blame team mates.

I would rather see some sort of up/down voting on players.

So many team games are ruined by:
- Players crash after waiting 10 minutes to load.
- Players AFK
- Player gets left alone and quits even if team is winning. Cry babies.
- Player is complete noob. Starts BMing team.
- Player is complete noob BMs enemy after winning.
- Player is a blobber. Has high damage but holds NO points all game. BMs team when he retreats his whole army back to base and lone player gets rekt by multiple opponents.

There are a lot of things that make team games bad. Some worse than others, so different levels of toxicity would be required by the vote.
1 - Bugsplats. Print notice to restart after 2 games.
2 - Noobs and Blobbers. Put them in lower rank games next play.
3 - AFK. If player doesnt move any units for 2:00, time them out and let AI take over. Then ban them for 1 hour.
4 - BMs. Accumulate BM votes until about 20 are reached then time ban. Maybe warn at 10.
5 - Map hackers, cheaters, etc. These require proof. Perhaps store replays for 1 day so a game can be reviewed if multiple votes come in?

Quite frankly I believe you're trying to glean far too much information out of the data.

Long matches to me says it was balanced and fun for the players. The map does not seem to punish you for losses the way many other 1v1 maps do. Some games are over after you lose one engagement.

But that is just my lone opinion. I am fishing for other opinions. Looking for some sage comments from players on past maps, etc.
