[sadb0i]

Do you remember someone by the name of neodyium?

Member of clan "neo"

Claims he started the strat of placing 4 geos on power source.

Can anyone confirm?

My brother started the strategy of building an airport first thing and about 15 transport planes. Then, fly them into an enemy base, pick up the enemy commander, fly him to the most concentrated part of the enemy base and then let the plane hover until it was shot down by the enemy. The commander explosion would take out a lot of the enemy base and of course kill the commander. Usually, when the commander dies, it's game over for the enemy.

It was plain out dirty. When he wanted to be nice, he would just pick up the commander and place him on another part of the map. This strategy never failed. People just got plain pissed when he did it.

I thought it was hilarious and quite clever.

If he'd RTFM online then he'd of seen it in black and white. He invented nothing.

That's like me claiming I invented the "stuff" just because I used it from the beginning of Sept 97 when Cavedog's online support with TEN came alive.

It was also funny to self-destruct your transport with the opposing commander dangling from it. 5....4....3....2....1....GAME OVER.

That was the best game ever...I just love building those Big Berthas and then letting them pound my opponent
