The cheezy and exploitive MP tactics thread

[Ubercat]

I don't know if this has been done yet since my checking didn't turn up anything. I thought it would be interesting to have a thread for players to declare what they consider unfair, and see others feelings on the matter.

I'm out of practice so all I can think of is the tactic of attacking an opponents army with a scout or other single unit(s) to try and stall his attack schedule.

Others?...

[Zeldor]

You can't do that. Scout won't stop an army. Small group yes, but not scout. You will have just 2 battles, one of your scout, another of enemy attacking you.

I think it kills a movement phase. That can mess up a well laid plan where the other guy wants multiple armies to meetup.

Personally, Id consider it to be real-world realistic (or at least movie-world realistic). A smart scout cant cause an army to dig-in for one turn?

[MaxWilson]

I'm 90% sure that I have stopped armies with single commanders. Are you thinking it's because the scout is coming out of stealth?

Mists of Deception + Wrathful Skies + Retreat is, of course, cheesy and exploitive.

I know I have done this many times in sp.

It doesn't always work.. but it works often enough to make it valuable.
