Yeaah! I beat adramellech the wroth, an option boss in Final Fantasy XII, at ONLY LEVEL 30!

If i had a video for that it would be legendary.

I guess calling this an accomplishment makes me somewhat nerdy.

Came from a Civ2 multiplayer game with my friend.

The Setup
By this point in the game (1800's), we had fought many wars together, and were steadfast allies. I had control of all of Asia, whereas he had Europe. Between us was a weaker nation, and the north and south America's had their own civs. I can't recall what was happening in Africa. We were both planning for war into America, in which he would attack the east and I the west. It was to be the culmination of our glorious game.

The Premise
But...for the entire game he had been proudly mentioning his 'heroic war ship' which had helped win him at least one of his many wars. It was just a caravel, but he had 'officially retired it.' At this point it was a 'museum ship' stationed in the Mediterranean. Given the amount he was proudly talking about it, it had to go. I would have to launch a surprise attack of the highest order.

The Plan
Entering the modern age meant one thing - nukes. More to the point, nukes and submarines. And I didn't intend to just blast his caravel out of the water, I intended to make sure his entire empire was crippled. And so it took a couple of hours of slowly getting the techs and producing the forces I needed in order to attack. And at 4am in the morning, this only increased the tension - not only was a worried about if I could pull it off, but could I pull it off before one of us had to call it a night.

Moving the Pieces
More importantly, was maintaining a sense of being allies despite slowly moving subs towards his lands. I openly talked about my developments in the nuclear programme and humbly mentioned that I was unable to launch an attack into America as my military was too weak :evil:

The final part was the most tense, as I had to time the final moves just right to make sure I could give maximum damage, use the subs to attack his navy and do it without him noticing. He didn't. All I got on MSN was a quiet "what are you doing?" as I cancelled the alliance and all other friendship pacts. Then I launched the nukes.

Checkmate
The most delightful part of the whole operation was not that I utterly wiped out his main cities or his navies. It wasn't even the fantastic feeling of joy as that museum ship went up in the most satisfying nuclear explosion I have ever known in Civ, it's the fact that I can still mention it in conversation today and I'll get an angry reaction out of him. No guilt over breaking an honest alliance, just the fact that that damned 'museum ship' - the pinnacle of his civilizations history - was brought down by the greatest surprise attack I could ever have pulled off :D

RTCW: Multiplayer demo map

Medic in the map room allies finally rolled over us the entire team was down in there and wiped out except for myself. Allies we busy healing themselves up and handing out amo. No respawn for another 2mins as its towards to end of the match and allies have a clear run to win the map

As I was hidding in the off section room where you can fire the mp40 through the grill window and was hidden from the allies.

I then went on the MOST INSANE reviving madness. I sprinted out into the main room and jumped onto my teammates revining one the allies suddenly start firing I get another two up and our position is still precarious as were heavily outnumbered. I dont even think of fighting as I have to run directly through the allies and get more of my team mates up. As the allies are bunched up they have trouble firing at me. I managed to revive all my teammates some several time and the allies are all taken down.

The clock ticks down and we win the map.

Must have been some arcade game 20 years ago when my fingers were younger.

There's no one greatest achievement that I'd point to, but I have a number of fairly cool things I've accomplished over the years.

- Beating Contra (the original NES version) without dying.

- Ditto for Bionic Commando, Mega Man 2-6.

- Knocked out Mike Tyson in Punch Out (yes, I play a lot of retro games!)

- Completing Goldeneye 007 (N64) fully 100%, unlocking all of the game's cheats through completing the insanely difficult time trials.

And yes, I realize that I spend too much time gaming. :lol:

I made a great mod for civ3. :)

Other than that i dunno. I play for fun.

But i'm sure there were some games, when i was a kid, that i played continously to have some great wonderous accomplishment.

Yeaah! I beat adramellech the wroth, an option boss in Final Fantasy XII, at ONLY LEVEL 30!

Its cool until you realize you can beat him at any level.......

Its cool until you realize you can beat him at any level.......

How can you beat him at any level?

This is without the reverse spell.

Only accomplishment I get in any game is simply finishing it, and even then I can't do that most of the time.

How can you beat him at any level?

This is without the reverse spell.

Absorb lighting and hit him with ice spells, cant touch you, mayby not any leve becuase you dont have anything to absorb the lightning, but you can probably beat him around 15ish. An accomplishment no less, most peole never even finish the game, let alone ge the optional espers, kinda sucks that hes the only one that flies though.

Dude he still uses physical attacks, he doesnt actually use his lightning spells that much.

At level 15 he would kill you in one hit. Thats without all the shambling corpses around.

stay back dork, I just sat back and hit him with ice spells and used my espers as a distraction, he just cloberred all over those, granted I was level 25ish when I did it but he only hit me once or twice.

stay back dork,.
Logic dictates using an insult does not make your argument true automatically. ;)

Your esper would die faster then you could heal him at that level, sorry. And i dont know why you would try to stay such a low lvl up to the point you get blizzara anyway.

Im usually level 35-40 by that time.

Your taking this way to seriously dude....but if we must we must
The first statement you made is based on the false premise that your definition of logic has been universally agreed upon by both parties participating in the argument, since I dont have any guidelines to know exactly what you consider "logical" or not, I can only go by what I have witnessed. To quote myself,

"stay back dork"

The first two words, in english, roughly translate to "dont get ****ing close", in a more laman common dialect that translates to "Dont get ****ing close", the first statement was followed by a short yet effective playful jab which was unexpectadly and inadvertantly taken, as the great american poet Lance bass once said "up the ass...."(paraphrasing of course). Seeing as how my statement cannot be invalidated by the word "dork" being added, it still stands, as a general rule of thumb, what cant get near you cant hit, in most cases. Not being near something is synonymous with "dont get ****ing close", which brings us full cirlce back to our original point. If your not near the enemy he cannot hit you. I really dont understand how conecpts understood by most two years olds can immediatly be invalidated by the use a slight interjection at the end of them. My argument boils down to this, dude, you can beat him at level 15ish(paraphrasing of course), get over it, just be happy you even found him, most people playt he game for like ten hours then let the dust dubbies have there way with it anyway.

And your telling me im taking this too seriously? :lol:

What do you think forums are for? Oh yeah DEBATING!

I agree he can be beaten at lvl 15, but only WITH reverse. And did you have reverse?

25 may be possible but thats about as low as it can be naturally. Il take your word for it but...

what cant get near you cant hit, in most cases.

You can run while casting spells unlike FFXI, but when you end the casting and unleash the spell you cant move. There is simply way your going to outrun him without him hitting you. And at lvl 15 thats a game ender.

Listen, I come on these forums for recreationa nd kicks, the occasional debate is dun but no, I highyl doubt the first forum ever was invented for the sheer purpose of debating, look, you sound like youv beaten the game, blow throught it and keep a low level and find out for yourself, I am rite now, I'll get back to you with the results, but im pretty damn sure I know what im talking about.

I beat both the Knights of the Old Republic games!

Sulla when are you going to finish the berserker varient for final fantasy on your website?

I have no idea; I finished about 2/3 of the game with that group, but got distracted with other projects. It's been about 2 years since I last played that variant, but I do still have the save file, so you never know.

The variant itself is tremendously fun, and I recommend it highly to anyone else. The amount of damage that group can dish out is obscene - and the punishment they take in return is hilarious! :lol: You can literally get killed in any battle...

Heh, a friend had it in french on his gameboy. We couldn't finish it. :(

Damn you french people and your evil language. :mad:

:p

It took me ten years to finish it.

My biggest was probably beating Civ 3 on Deity. Not much of an accomplishment, but still. It was probably the only game that I've ever cared much to play pretty well; most of the time I find a comfortable, moderately difficult level where I just do whatever I want.

My crowning achievement is from one of my favorite RPG's of all time--

Ultima IV.

This game took a startling turn away from other RPG's, in that the path to victory lay more in your moral course than in your stats and gear.

At the very end of the game, a set of nine riddles requires you to weave together everything you learned during your adventures--and I got stuck.


Years passed. The computer on which the game was stored (a Commodore 64!) was gathering dust in my closet. And then, rather suddenly, I figured out The Answer. I felt kind of silly getting the old computer back out and trying to remember how the thing worked. But I finally beat the game--SIX YEARS later. :)

The final fantasy XII argument inspired me to try it myself. I would say neither of you are wrong, but the fellow who thinks it cant be done at level fifteen is more rite.

I was level sixteen when I beat him and it took me nine tries, I did it like so. First, I summoned Bellias to keep him busy(albeit not for long), I immobilized his zombies. Thr tricky part was that Belias HAD to get off hellfire or else the whole plan went to shambles, the problem with that is that he was ussually killed before he could do it. IF however he did get it off it would remove a factorable portion of his health, but an absolutely necessary one. Then there was the part that relied even more heavily on luck, I chained together eight level one Quickies to pull of whitelight(or whatever its called and that finished him off.

Here was the deal though, I had specifically gone for all the quickening I could early on JUST so I could take him out at level 16, so it is possible, albeit highly unlikely.

Not my greatest, but probably funniest, and most gay

In Fable I married...a dude!

I managed to torpedo someone in a plane, while the both of us were in midair. I thought i released the torp too late, guess it was better than nothing... I also managed to get into a knife fight while parachuting down from a plane.
(Battlefield 1942 for those of you who dont know)

Coolest looking one has to be the time I posed a shot of my 20 battlecruisers in HW2. I didnt expect to have the hyperspace jump shot to wind up in the middle of an enemy alliance base. If you dont know, battlecruisers are very powerful ships in homeworld 2. You only really need 3 of them to take out a mothership, which has an insane amount of HP. Now I had 20 of them jump into a high concentration enemy base. Think fireball, think lots of fireballs, think lots of big fireballs.

In F-Zero X, I was determined enough to win every cup, with every car, on Master difficulty. I'm still working on winning all cups on all difficulties with all cars though. :lol:

I was playing an Age of Empire II mission where I had to defend my base. I had just a few minutes to go, but I was all out of resourses and troops. One enemy trebuchets had made an opening in my wall and the enemy was advancing. But one of my workers sent to reinforce the wall go in the way. The trebuchet was at the front of the troops and could not move forward past my worker or backwards into the rest of the enemy troops. It could not redeploy and hit any targets. The time ran out, and I won.

Was that your greatest gaming accomplishment?

Which scenario was this?

Was that your greatest gaming accomplishment?

Which scenario was this?

Not the greatest, but very memorable. I don't remember anything interesting about playing the "impossible" (or what ever is highest) level of "Master of Orion II".

I do have a bitter sweet story. I had just about won the original "Wizardry" after many hours. I had to stop because I got caught by my boss playing it at work...So I almost beat the game and lost my job. (I had to start all over at home on my C64, it just was not the same when I finished).

I think the AOEII scenario was one of the Salidan scenarios. I'm not sure. Sometimes I'd rather be lucky than good.

I beat both the Knights of the Old Republic games!

Beating II without savagely beating the console in anger at the bugs truly is a great accomplishment.

I have no idea what was my greatest accomplish. However, I have two very memorable games:

1. My younger brother and I were playing Empire. We increased the difficulty of our lone computer enemy to 75%. We kept ours at 50%. The game was a map which I made. It was a very fun map, but it was mostly land. The game was the hardest game we've ever beaten. The whole time we were both struggling at just maintaining the status quo. After a very long time, my brother built a fairly large navy with transports and took the enemy's coastal cities. After that, it was downhill for him. During this whole battle, cruisers and battleships were vital. I put them into my cities and destroyed approaching enemy soldiers.

2. My first emperor game in Civ 1. I had a large island, and I conquered the only other enemy on the island. I think it was the French. On a nearby island were the Americans, Germans, and Indians. I think it was the Indians. Anyway, my enemies in this game built up their militaries and technology much faster than me. I was struggling with Monarchy and catapults when they had riflemen. Through cleverly using diplomats and buying soldiers, I was able to keep my enemies from making a stronghold on my island. The Americans eventually conquered their whole island. So most of the rest of the game was them vs. me.

For the rest of the game, I would conquer one or two cities to steal technology, and I also used diplomats to get technologies. I believe I conquered their capital about 3 times, each time causing a rebellion. Each time they had a rebellion, they reconquered the rebels.

The last time I fought the Americans, I built a large fleet of battleships, and plenty of tanks. I took their cities in sneak attacks.

On the home front, this was the first time in my civ games that I let my cities grow as large as possible. Before, in my older games, I just let them stop at 10. So this emperor game taught me that the biggest cities are the best. It also taught me the value of the Republic government, which I consider to be the best in Civ 1. In this particular game, I think I used Democracy a lot, which I tended to not use, because it's too unweildy.

Beating II without savagely beating the console in anger at the bugs truly is a great accomplishment.

It was on the PC. I didn't notice any big bugs.

Whoa - that's insane. :eek: But i guess it depends which M&M ...

mine wasnt online so much

my friend and I were playing Risk, with capitals, capture a capital and the entire nation is destroyed

now he placed his capital in China, mine was in Europe, roughly Germany because i had made a Hitler face on a pumpkin seed i found and i thought it was funny enough to be Germany....

he owned all of Asia and Africa, I owned North America and Europe, he began a build up and sneak attacked me, he took all of Europe except my capital so he could play around with me before killing me....

what did i do? i cashed in some risk cards, stocked up in alaska, attacked my way to china whitch was very lightly defended since he had built up to invade Europe

I then took his capital, defeating him, while he could have destoryed me himself but was too cocky

oddly enough he has never sneak attacked me since then, its usually an implied alliance :p
