There is No Kill Like Overkill! or Nuclear Daka!

[RobinStarwing]

"There is No Kill Like Overkill" > Ever got fed up in a game with a player or final boss and decided that you really needed and wanted to just end things in a way that says "F--- YOU!" to them in the most spectacular fashion possible?

My fav personal example of this is when in Generals: Zero Hour, I was playing as the Nuke General and got to The Tigeress on Medium. I got control of 2/3 of the map but didn't want to try and force my way across the bridge to her base. So I set my dozers to building 26 Nuclear Missile Silos and than letting all of their countdown timers rundown to zero before launching them ALL AT ONCE upon her base. Nuklear Daka anyone?

The other example of this involved a game of M:TG where the guy had spells on the field that basically gave him an army of 54 4/4 Flying, Haste, etc. Saprolings. Once I realized what was going on, I mana-suicided out of there. I than proceeded to watch the carnage from the safety of the peanut gallery.

Anyone else got a similar moment?

Fantastic, simply fantastic!

I love overkill, so in Yugioh TCG it's not uncommon for me to visiously crush a duelist by Synchro Summoning Black Rose Dragon (guarded by a set Solumn Judgment and Dark Bribe), setting off it's effect that destroys every card on the feild, then droping two Dragon's Mirrors to Fusion Summon F.G.D (ATK: 5000) and DragonKnight-Draco Equeste (ATK:3200) and use Monster Reborn to Special Summon a random Dragon-Type monster to banish in order to Special Summon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon(ATK: 2800) and use it's effect to bring back Black Rose Dragon (ATK: 2400). Then attacking for a grand total of 13,400 points of damage. All of this done mid to late in the game.


But that's nothing compared to this very evil combo.

It's 11 minutes long and I suggest watching it through to the end for extra lols.

Long Story short, this guy manages to summon EVERY VERSION/UPGRADE OF STARDUST DRAGON (except for Shooting Quasar Dragon which wasn't in TF5) IN 1 TURN!

The Guste monsters were broken as fuck. XD

Final Fantasy Tactics.

Training a Calculator feels like cheating.

As well as training a Samurai and giving those abilities to any magic-based class.

The best feeling was when I took a dual-wielding Ramza and shoved two swords up the final boss's behind for 800 damage twice. It was fatal both times.

despite my attitude at times I am a rather patent man when it comes to revenge...Or rather I like to savor it as long as freaking possible. Nothing is more entertaining to me then to scare the ever loving crap out of someone online and basically never do a thing.

when games have classes like the spy I usually just try to up the paranoia of one of my enemies so much that they destroy themselves. to the point where they are so paranoid trying to look for me they don't realize I am on the other side of the mapp doing something else entirely. (Ask Shy she knows it very well)

Although I have to say one of my favorite ways to get revenge on a few guys was in Trouble in Terrorist Town. I managed to kill them all with out firing a single shot.I just built up the tension by waiting till the last minute getting them to thire peak in paranoia. then I just turned on the radio comprised of nothing but gun sounds and enjoyed the show from across the map.

Warhammer 40k: Dark Crusade. This one zone was consistantly attacked, so I just built up a bunch of HQs to give me access to lotsa turrets, Built them on 2 of the 3 chokepoints in the map, then just made the biggest tank they had and steamrolled them in 2 minutes.


By the way, it's spelled "Dakka" there.

Red Alert 2.
Death by Conscripts.

It's still glorious.
Basically, just keep building conscripts and flood your enemy's camp (best done on easy against AI, naturally). You're gonna lose some, but then... you've got a cloning vat, so who cares?

[Flarecobra]

Basically, Red Alert's version of a Zerg Rush, right?

[Melfice]

Yes, pretty much.
Except better, because they've got hilariously stereotype Russian accents.

Legend of Legaia:

There's an item you get for beating a bonus boss that causes the character who's wearing it to randomly use up to 15 arts in a row, but you can't control the character. I then went to the arena in the game with it equipped and I brutally overkilled everything by doing at least 4 times their health in a single turn.

Legend of Mana:

I made a weapon with 380 attack. The best weapon you can get without tempering has 62. I could've made it about twice as strong, but it'd have taken forever and was already crazy unnecessary.

Civ 4's mod, Fall From Heaven. Calabim Vampires.

Most nations, once researching Iron Working, have access to the very respectable Champion Melee unit, with 6 strength and a bonus versus other Melee units. The Calabim get Vampires instead, which have 5 Strength and no melee bonus. What they get, instead, are the Death 1, Body 1, Channeling 2, and Vampirism promotions. This gives them the ability to:

• Summon Skeletons. Weak but permanent summons, can have a max of one per caster on the field at a time, 6 Vampires equals 6 Skeletons.
• Cast Haste, increasing the Movement of all living allies in their tile by 1 for a turn
• Gain experience automatically over time.
• Learn to Summon Specters. These last only a single turn, but move quickly, can pillage (unlike Skeletons), and have the Fear ability, giving them a chance when attacking a stack of enemy units to force them to withdraw to another tile.
• Learn to cast Regeneration, allowing all living units in the tile to heal more quickly and heal while moving, effective until they heal fully. This stacks with existing Medic promotions.
• Feast on cities, sacrificing one population point for a boost in experience, allowing them to become very strong before fighting a single battle.
• Heal instantly in the field by feeding a nearby Bloodpet, the lowest and cheapest unit available to the Calabim.
• Spread Vampirism to any living ally at or above Level 6, allowing them to do the above two things and spread Vampirism themselves.

In short, the Vampire is perfect for steamrolling. Whereas most armies would eventually stop or at least slow down as their units became wounded, the Calabim don't care and will maintain their momentum perfectly unless they run into someone that can halt them outright. Their weakness relative to same-tier alternatives is made up for by their ability to juice up before engaging even once, allowing them to break even or specialize as necessary. They can throw up disposable summons to soften up an enemy or just block their way, and to top it off, they eventually upgrade into Vampire Lords, which can summon even stronger stuff and self-rez when killed.
