Yes, that's right. I'm going to give a game of your choice, to one of you lot. So what do you have to do to get this free game?

Be the first person here to beat me at NetStorm.

It's an online RTS game, there's a thread around here somewhere. Oh yeah, you can get it for free too.

Full Game:
http://www.geocities.com/ns_war/NetStorm.zip
or
http://www.geocities.com/nimbianeagle/NetStorm.zip
(Don't worry, it's only 11.7 MB)

If you want a modded Exe to play the single player missions as well as playing online, use this:
http://www.venom2.free-online.co.uk/zipped/VenomStorm.zip
(about 1 MB)

RULES OF THE COMPETITION:
1) The winner is the first person to beat me, one on one, in a best of three match. Top Vs Bottom, top serves, alternate positions after each game.
2) A 'win' is classified as when my temple and workshops have all been destroyed, and my priest sacrificed - or If I concede the match.
3) No cheats are allowed. No assistance is allowed. Straight 1v1 only.
4) I might change these rules, if anyone finds a dodgy 'loophole' in them.


Any question, post here or ask me on MSN - [email protected]

Strafex, there are three strategys to fight off Man O War's (the jellyfish things), if you're interested

1) Shoot the bases (kinda obvious). They're very weak, so if you can get close enough, or behind the shields, this'll work.
2) Use acid barricades. These will kill the blighters as soon as they pass between them, so you avoid taking damage from them
3) Use damage absorbers - sun bars, ice towers, stone towers are all okay, but bulwarks are invulnerable to man o wars, so they're best against them. Not wind towers though, as they're too weak.

Sacrificing the opposition priest before you've aninhilated all their resistance is considered a very dishonourable way to win - if you do it against most 'veteran' players they'll moan at you. Myself included ;)
So I'm not allowing it.

I've claimed a game due to be released in the fourth quarter this year, so I'll change the claim and mail the winner the game, when I get beaten. That should be long enough for one of you lot to get good enough to win.

A few more rules:

5) No exclusion of units
6) We use standard battle stats - 6 bridges, long gen range, quick unit refresh, 50% kill reward, 3000 per geyser.

Does your temple and workshops HAVE to be destroyed?

Surely capturing a priest means that the afore mentioned has been achieved or you've been punished for being careless/outwitted.

By the way, if I'm serving, doesn't that give me the right to exclude those water jellyfish things...

Beating you 1 on 1, 2 times out of three, destroying all your temples and workshops.
Your GaD will disappear (you have 90 days to claim) long before then but I'll try anyway...
