Never complain
Even though you're in pain

Flame flame flame
Flame flame flame
The fire will die eventually
If not by you, it will by the rain

The winner will be believed
As always in history
No matter who they deceive
Zeon will return...

Now get ready to diss me!

*Camera takes an overview shot, moving away from Wiseguy who has been taken down by the flames of the enemy. The camera slowly zooms at the face of the great Messiah, slow fade out, screen turns black when only His face is left on the screen. *

*In the meantime the lands of Starta awake with the arrival of a pack of warriors, defeated in the country they lived for eras, looking for new lands and new warriors to join their pact. The lands of Starta will soon be woken...*

I would have *hoped* that Carnage would play honorably.  Zeta clearly didn't INTENT for river-jumping via scouts.  That would mean it wasn't supposed to be any sort of strategy or tactic.

It's in the freaking FAQ's.  Go read them yourself, its not a dishonorable thing, its tactics.  You've been able to jump ever since I can remember, wich is a ways back.  People have always used it, others have complained, and if it were a problem Zeta would have fixed it by now.  It's simple to keep it from happening, you just need to pay attention.

DB used scout jumping but so did Carnage.I didn't know how to do it and I watched them do it.I couldn't believe it (I haven't played for so long) and so I tried, to see if it was possible.I even posted in our forum explaining how to do it.Then I discovered it was well known by players with more experience than me.I don't know if it's acceptable or not.I asked the question earlier.

Scout jumping is not the reason of our defeat, it  may have helped them, but no more.In my opinion, we lost because DB and Carnage were stronger and better.

That's completly out of the question Weird...  ^^

first you get a human to wheel a large catapult army over to a river.
next you load scout into catapult
then you press the launch button and direct your scout toward said river
if your lucky and your scout makes it over the river and lives, you have succefully scout jumped

Nah shyers u got it all wrong, u need to go next to a forest and river and press the button to cut down the tree, the tree will fall across the river and u may pass.

*** Public Service Message

I'd like to clarify that DB didn't scout jump, we attacked over the river in 2 locations.  And there is an easy way to prevent true scout river jumping.


KILL THE SCOUTS!

This ends the public service message ***

no no, orcs are highly allergic to baths, and rivers are almost like them... when you get in them i mean. so the need to keep a 500ft radius between them and the water, however they can only fly 600 ft in the air, now, you'd think that would be ok, but at 450ft in the air the poor eye sight of the nazgul, leaves them blind to the landmarks of the earth, so they get lost.... so in answer to your question, no, as a rule, nazgul don't fly across rivers, good idea though.

Riverjumping

If someone used a scout to river jump, please go to the "Bugs and Errors" forum and post the details with a pic of the exact area where the riverjump occured.

Riverjumping via scout merge is a tactic that Zeta has tried to reduce in the past, first by reducing the merge distance drastically and second by making it harder to approach rivers at key scout-merge locations.

If it is still possible then the best thing to do is post the location with a pic in the Bugs and Errors forum and possibly he will look at it after the era is over. And if not, well, at least everyone is aware of it.

As for attacking a large city on a river, well, just don't build there :-) The food sucks anyway.

yeah it was a fun war, good luck on future wars mates.
