do you know the game tactics arena?? its found on tacticsarena.com … its one of the greatest tactical games i ever came across..its just like a chess match..with a little twist that is.. because the pieces here have different functions..i know that chess pieces also have different functions but the ones here are very different..like one kind of piece casts spells in a straight line(4tiles) that are unblockable..another piece can strike the enemies around her (front, back, left and right) and if she has 4 or lower life/energy left,she can explode and the pieces around her will receive 99 unblockable damage(and the pieces here only has a maximum of 50 energy)..and there are alot more kinds that performs cool stuffs..its online to..so you cancompete with other players around the globe..
i really enjoy playing it because each player has his own strategy..and well,as a newbie, i try to learn from them and generate my own..somehow i’ve managed to fight a competent fight once or twice..last monday, feb 18(jad’s bday) i went to a cafe to do my reflection paper about the life of Christ that our teacher,sir jerwin, told us to make..while waiting for kuia don(i promised him that i will help him do his paper), i played DotA and later tactics arena..i had a few matches but the game never ended properly because its either me or my opponent quits..^^ at my last game before i’ll check on kuia don, i had a great match and it finally,for my first time, ended properly.. i can’t remember who my opponent was but he won (sadly)..we started the game the usual way..he being the first to move his pieces..and the the game progressed..then at the late game, he only had 1 knight(w/c was the toughest and has the hardest armor) and i have a lightning ward(a structure that conjures lightning and hits the enemy with it and causes massive damage) and an assassin..i stayed my assassin near the lightning ward because if he kills her, the game is over because when all pieces of the enemy is destroyed(not counting the structures) the game will conclude..so back to the track..as i’ve sid i kept my assassin near my ward so if the knight will strike her, the ward can strike him back and inflict damage..so he did it as what i’ve planned..he came close to my ward to strike my assassin..the assassin blocked it (if she did not,the game is over) so he will need two turns to cool down and attack again..i struck him with the ward(w/c needs 4 turns to cool down) and attack using my assassin (i got to move twice because he is not able to move his knight because its on the cool down mode) then i moved my assassin as far as she can get because she will also have 1 turns of cool down..then the worst happened..i undermined the fact that if my assassin is in its cooldown status, his knight can move twice and that is enough for him to reach my assassin..then he did as expected..he approached my assassin and struck..well its a matter of chance actually..my assassin can block it but because she struck the knight and was successful, her blocking rate decreased by 38%..and she only has 70% blocking rate so it makes it 32%..very low!..^^ so he succeeded with his attack and he won..i lost but i enjoyed though..^^
