I've been getting fed up for some time now by 1 player in particular : swin.rus
No, this is not a rant about swin.rus, rather my concerns about marauding. I love you swin.rus - you are one of my favourite battle-ships + ex-clan players and I respect your skill in games if that doesn't sound all too cheesy. I've always enjoyed playing games with you - whether its against or with you.

The usual game goes a bit like this: Swin.rus gets a leaver or kick on his team. He goes for marauder *yawn* and gets his usual 20:0 k/d ratio bashing no matter how good the opposite team is.
Here's a replay where it didn't turn out so well for him and he got the thrashing he deserved. Yes, you had a "newbie" on your team swin.rus, but we all offered *peace* when you had that leaver. You refused and for the first time in quite some time it backfired. Serves you right if you ask me.
We also had a marauder, but nowhere near as skilled as swin.rus, who just takes the marauder bashing to a whole new level. Respect to you swin.rus.

And no - this just shows that you don't always peace especially if you think it plays out in your advantage. So please - give me a break - and don't claim you're a fair player who always peaces.
I do like you swin.rus and enjoy playing with you, but the marauder unbalances battleships to the extent where I'm considering stopping to play altogether until this is fixed.
If played right, (Yes, I've tried and don't manage quite as well as swin with my 1fps gaming condition), the marauder does rediculous damage!!! Not to mention the imba rear admiral that crushes any hopes of a freeze/flame counter to this overpowering ship.
Please, I beg you Say_No_To_War, remove the marauder from battleships because it completely ruins games and the whole concept of battleships: A team-game!
This ship is just one big ego-shooter that likes to dish out non-stop orb explosions so basically it's pretty much 1 player dominating the game.
BattleshipsCF is still my favourite WC3 game, but this is something that needs to change! Please, anyone who agrees, give me some support with this and voice your opinions here! In my opinion, the marauder should not be part of battle-ships anymore. Even if you'd halve the damage done by orbs it's overpowering!
When I join games I'd like to think that I still easily stand a chance of winning against stronger players such as swin.rus in the opposite team, but with all the marauding I just lose faith in that. There's no enjoyment in playing a game that you can't win. I don't mind losing, but if it's just going to be a bashing that leaves me feeling like a complete newbie then I'd rather not play at all...
So anyways, enjoy the replay or just check out the screenshots. Hopefully, this will be some compensation to what swin.rus has been doing to all you poor souls.

Swin.rus I like playing with you, but to be honest I'm already anxious when you are in the opposite team and you having the marauder just decreases my chances of beating you to 20%...You're one of the best players out there and the bashing needs to stop. Although I'm guessing it won't until changes are made to the game.
PS: I just checked the replay file it seems to be a bugged? It says -AFK next to most names and sailors stop moving after 10mins or so? Anyways, I'll upload it anyway. Maybe background programs are interfering!
About the picture below: Trireme, viking's revenge and cloudship all dead vs our humble combination of minelayer, 3k flamer and oc cc (which at that time had around 2.5k hp ^^).
