This should be on the home page, just like the beginner tutorials. It's just that important for new players to learn. However, I think I read somewhere that ZoC will be phased out eventually? That might be great, and it might suck...myself, I'm too new too the game to be really attached to ZoC, and I've had a bad experience with it going up against a mace/marks formation, but I've also begun using it to my advantage.

The "getting rid of ZoC" was just Req's drunken rambling. One of his main arguements for it was "new players can't understand" ZoC.

Hence, a tutorial that has many a new player telling me "hey thanx for ur tutorial I really understand now"

Oh, then I should fall in line...

Hey, thanx for ur tutorial! I really understand now!

Well, if you don't understand, please tell me what's confusing you...my goal here wasn't to make Req look silly (at least, not entirely)...I want to make sure new players understand this simple-yet-complex system

Somehow the document is not accessable any more (server error). Does anybody knows to get it back.

I lost my website. All the files and pages were lost.

I had no backup of the pages, or the pictures I used as examples. If I did, I would simply move them to a geocities page. But, alas, I'll have to redo the entire thing...eventually.

In the meantime, I can answer any questions about ZoC myself...it just won't be as useful as an illustrated tutorial

dam sorry dude, there isnt even one on waronliner either

If somebody would provide me with some screenshots, I could whip up another one sometime this weekend. I did the first one on a whim when I realized my troops were set up perfectly to demonstrate all the ZoC moves.

The criteria for the pictures:

They must allow me to demonstrate
-A 1-2 move
-A 2-1 move
-A 1-1 move (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT)
-A 2-0 move

It would be ideal if they included ranged troops or commanders, to show that, yes, ranged troops count toward the ZoC.

If you have any situations like this, or are in a position to create one, please take a screenshot. Then PM me, I'll give you my email address, and I'll credit you for the pics on the tutorial if you want

i would love to, i might be able to try and get a few pics but it might take a few days as its a slow game im in and im not exactly sure where the guy running from me is lol he ran somewhere and in my chase i have run into someone else so ill try get the pics with him instead.


if you understood that lol ill have a go for you sage

Just use our duel, Sage...you've got me surrouned, and you can move around to position yourself for examples.

(just make sure you move back before Sunday 16:00 game time)

Neb

crap what happened to the pictures here, dammit this should have been saved and stickied! its increadibly hard to teach someone this without totally destroying them and almost impossible to teach by just talking.

Nah! ... it's easy ... look ... here I go.

First ... if you're bordered by an enemy in 1 position and only 1 position ... you can't move to a spot that's surrounded by 2 or more enemies.

If your bordered by 2 or more enemies then you can only move to a spot that it's not bordered by any enemies.

Simple! ... I think.

This thresd ucks ****, badly!!!
