Heh, I seem to have not contributed very much to this thread eh?
Well, there certainly are some very good ideas floating around here. One build that is good for annoying mon and capitalist players is a monarchy build of mine (1v1 buil). This trick fails against hardcore pros but works very well against others assuming you don't mess up. I primarily use it as an anti-monarchy or anti-cap build.
If they are monarchy, go bank and forge and pin with 4 scouts. Why 4? 4 usually is sufficient do good dmg to a pride if they don't use an ops team for pinbreak. Also a bunch a romans at the 3 inf zone is good to make them waste a missile (hopefully). Then generator and then solar grid to make modikatas (modified sakatas). You should have around 100 influence or so to make 2 modified sakatas. At this point, if your opponent is good, they might have pinned you with prides or ops teams. The best strategy is to release romans as shields and charge one modikata up the field until you get into the middle of their troops (where they are vulnerable) and wrecking them there. The 2nd modikata stays back until the first modikata is blown up with a missile. Eventually convert all your buildings into 3 generators (solar grids) and a forge. Keep on rushing romans and mod. saks to give your opponent plenty of headache. However, do watch out for massed tanks and massed (4-5 prides). If they do somehow build up a defence, your doomed. Remember to stay flexible and that you can make an ops as one of your buildings if NECESSARY. Otherwise stick to your gun and it should work. Now, you make ask what if they go hospital and go for saints? Well same plan but only 1 roman as an influencer and save energy. Then go modikatas...same build. Since they are making saints and are monarchy, making an ops takes a while leaving a good opportunity to wreck them. Keep on rushing romans and modikatas in there and eventually their base goes down. (At this point charge your units and they will attack air)
Combatting capi also require that you use a few tricks. Fool around and cancel buildings to confuse our opponents. When fighting capi best way, usually is same but remember that capi is harder to kill. They have lots of more missils and way more resources to make large clumps of tanks. If hard to combat cap, improvise and go use another monarchy build.
This build, as I said, is a 1v1 build that can be used in normal, ss, lt, cw, and EQ. Also can be taylored into a 2v2 build. Keep in mind that modikatas are only very strong if they have romans to draw away fire. Other than that Good luck and happy hunting.
