Dust 514 game - Friend teams needed

i will surely try to be there

 

i need help will be there. if i can't wait you i would be sad.

 

I'll help out too.

 

Will this even work? I heard you can only start a Multiplayer game with only so many human players, the rest end up as CPU players

 

I believe the best you can get is you and your friend and FOUR CPU opponents.

Though maybe it is possible to play random opponents and get more friends in the same game.

 

I'm in but I don't understand the game at all. Just say when and I'm there. 8)

 

I finally beat Slay today on single player...and it was no stroll in the park. lol It took a whole lot of experimenting, reading the instructions carefully and hours of time trying to get the idea. I finally did it on 2nd map (top row). I would suggest that map for anybody who is still trying--its a pretty basic map. I just put out foot soldiers at each base for awhile when I could buy them and then tried to link the territories that I was slowly taking with advancing soldiers between the 2 bases towards the bottom of the map. I did put in a couple of turrets after awhile for better protection as well but I'm not even sure they are necessary. Just layer 1 foot soldier on top of another on the map to get the armored soldiers (which will kill regular foot soldiers)....and then 2 armored soldiers layered will give you a plane of some kind (I think that's what it is) which will take out tanks. There are also a couple of other kinds of enemies that can sneak in so watch for those and put a soldier on them if you can to take them out. Basically what you are trying to do is find a balance between protecting your bases while spreading and linking territories that you have claimed.

Once you understand the upgrading of your soldiers, when and where to place them and have a better idea of what will destroy what it gets a lot easier because you can kind of anticipate what you will need to upgrade to as you clear more territory. Trust me, if I can do this after thinking there was NO way, I think anyone can. Like I said, its really about experimenting for awhile more than anything. What I've mentioned here may not even be helpful or totally accurate, but hopefully someone will be able to understand it enough to have a little more success.

 

I do NOT like the rule that your armies consume your money. And that if the territory can't pay enough to the armies it's on, the army dies and the whole territory starts spawning TERRORISTS.

 

Yeah ff--I had several attempts where I was taking most of the map and BOOM....in 2 cpu moves most everything I had was wiped out. I was so frustrated, but I figured out that for whatever reason, if you can just concentrate on taking territory at first by placing foot soldiers in places where they can take the most hexes, eventually you can get it to a point where you will get enough pts. with every turn to put more in. After you have linked some claimed areas and have foot soldiers a plenty, you can start to make some armored ones and some planes to use strategically.

I shouldn't really even try to pretend like I know what I'm talking about with this game, but just trying to pass along some of what I did when I was successful with it. I probably just got lucky lol

 

if you have enough soldiers you use this rule to your advantage by cutting off the enemy troops or just filling the enemy territory and causing the enemy to fall foul of this rule, I only use the 3rd and 4th level of troop if I have to, so I can attack in numbers and cause my enemy to suffer the I cant pay you rule, ive won on the first 2 maps

 

How are you guys arranging your armies? Do you stay with soldiers? Or use Special Forces alot? Or Tanks or Mechs?

 

use soldiers to gain ground so if you got a big territory next to yours its usually attacking on several fronts so I send in the soldiers so they either lose all they troops to wages rule or cannot make any more due to the same rule, you can also use them to cut a chunk out of a large territory to create two smaller territorys giving the enemy less wages again, I use special forces more on smaller territorys because you need to stomp the capitals when there are two tiles otherwise you get terrorists them bug looking things that mulitple, always make sure you cover each move in twos when you can so the enemy dont cut you off, always attack the biggest territory next to yours, if you need to use 3rd level or fourth level of soldier then do it when you have to, but fourth ones wages are expensive so usually I block the 3rd level soldiers with another 3rd level soldier and flood the same territory from another position with loads of soldiers causing wages rule to kick in, or put a ring of soldiers around enemy higher level soldiers again wage rule deaths, I finished with 1 4th level soldier 2 3rd level soldiers 6 special forces 4 soldiers approx, the fourth level 1 I didnt get until near the end

 

Ugh, I've tried anything I could think of but haven't been able to win a single match so far, anyone willing to help me?

 

need help too sometimes my troops got wiped out all of a sudden and the terrorists keep respawning. this game is really frustrating and it seems most people can't beat the game I only saw only a few players wearing those suits.

 

Rewards can be won in multiplayer but your turns are timed in multiplayer and you take it in turns to take your turns,

 

Don't know if any of you know this but, You don't have to win a game of slay to get the Dust 514 Beta code. All you have to do is watch all vids in the room where the recruiter is and play a full game, not win. You can press L1 to skip your turn to speed up the game.
The code will be on the first screen on the right side of the recruiter, you have to press X to see it after you're done.

 

If anyone is still struggling with this game I can help need to be able to use hdsets as its easier to explain while playing multiplayer
