Titan Strategy: The masterboard

Why would you want to do this? The idea behind that variant is to make the game play faster. Since we have all the time in the world to work through a PBEM game, why do Titan+ on ACTS?

Because I've been eliminated.

Hey Jeb,

I'm not really into the variant but if you want to start up another game on ACTS sign me up. There's nothing sayin' we can't have multiple games going.

What I was going to say. Only you got there first.

Okay, bar none, F:AT games of Titan on ACTS are the fucking bomb!

His Titan was brave. I don't see your Titan out there, going for it.

Brave. Brain-damaged. I guess it's just semantics.

YEAH, FRANK I'M CALLIN' YOUR TITAN BRAIN-DAMAGED!!!

I hear Valley games are renaming Titan to "Big Chickenshit guy who hides at the back" in honor of Billy Z.

@Jeb: if by "out there, going for it" you mean putting my Titan in a position where a gratuitous smack down is all I get for my troubles-- then NO. You definately won't be seeing any of that.

@ Skel: 3 words: Lotion. Hostility. Allovermybody.

See that's why I love this game, you can always find new and effective strategies to use against your opponents.

There's the Lucas-La Terraian "Blunt Your Opponent's Blade with Your Body" or the equally brilliant Weeksian "Place Your Leader With The Fewest Creatures Possible" and try to stealthily move around the board.

I think DDJ has some stiff competition when it comes to writing the book on Titan strategies.

No seriously, I blame VG and the Chinese for fucking up the rulebook by printing "The person who kills their own Titan the quickest wins!".

Talk about shitty quality control.

A new F:AT Titan game on ACTS is open for players to join. You will need an ACTS account to play.

If you have any questions let me know.

All of you F:ATties out there are fools for not gettign a pice iof this action. My personnal highlite is the following exchange between yours truly and a certain skullfaced antipodean:

Blue wins battle in M140
0 pts (total 21 pts):

Blue Anchor:
Behemoth
xCyclops
Cyclops
Cyclops
xTitan

Gold Claw:
xAngel
xCentaur
xOgre
xOgre

Message from Blue:
Im done. I won because my titan was brave

The truth of the matter was that I won that fight because Frank left his Titan open and I swooped in for the leader kill. The following is how that exchange played out:

Me:Hey!!! FRANK"S CHEATING!!!!

ALL OF YOUR POINTS IS BELONGS TO US!!!

I killed your Titan man... that's all she wrote... for real.


Skelly: I still get my battleback you fag. Colossus tells me so.

Me: Wonderful. You get your battleback, hooray for Frank.
That'd be awesome IF I DIDN"T KILL YOUR FUCKING TITAN. It doesn't matter if you wiped out my stack since your Titan is very dead. Those 2 cyclops don't amount to anything.

Now run along and give me my points-- and get me a beer while you're at it fucknut.

Ahhhhh... If hostility was available in a lotion like format I'd be rubbing that shit all over me right now.

To which Weeks responded:That was possibly the best message ever sent using ACTS.

I fucking dare somebody to tell me this isn't "time well spent."

I would love to play -- but I am unfamiliar with ACTS (and I don't want to drag the game down if people are worried about that). I did just register, but in general could some one give me a short synopsis.

ACTS can be a bit of a pain, it handles the masterboard wonderfully (as ugly as it looks) but you have to know how terrain works and have a copy of the strike chart for the battle boards.

Other than that we can guide you through everything else. Just click on the link and choose your colour.

FRESH MEAT!! That means welcome my friend in the world of TITAN!

what kind of time frame do these game take place over? I will log in soon and probably prepare for my early exit; however, I will take someone down with me. In general, would love to learn some strategy from you guys.

Also, where should I join? I don't see the 9274 ID on games currently accepting new players.
