Epic Roman rush.
This has won me many battles.
It is common that players go for economy in multiplayer to get these really powerful units and massive unbeatable armies.
This tactic conter that.
Basically:
(Capitalists)
- Build a Power gen.
Wait for your resources to build up, as capitalists you get 5$ ea time. so it only need 8 incomes to get 40$ so you can build a Forge
- Build a forge, and build 4-5 Scouts, then make the forge mass Energy one time, at the same time you compress your scouts and fly forward. When they are flying forward, start building Romans.
(have Rally-point on at all time this far)
Now, depending on the situation, in the rare case that your opponent have built a production structure at this time, when you started to build scouts, The opponent Ether build own scouts, Or marines.
(If you are lucky, they have went something like directly for treasury or bank and then armory directly, and are not capable to do anything)
Thats Good! :D
Use all the Energy you amassed from your super early power gen and keep building romans.
Move forward with your scouts, but stop them before they get shoot. - Run with your romans and atk opponents base if they go scouts
- Run and kill opponents marines if they went marines.
If they went scouts, after your romans start to tank most of their shoots, atk with your own scouts, they will get more direct shoots at the opponents scouts then they hit yours, because your romans tank.
If they went marines, they are all dead by the romans, they sure start to build tanks to kill your romans, move in your scouts and stop them out of reach by your opponents base defense, but close enough to shoot down enemy spawning units. and let your Romans do the rest :D
This has a VERY high success rate.
Ways to conter this build.
Go early scouts and romans of your own. your romans will fix your opponents romans and your scouts will kill their scouts and romans as your romans also tank his scouts. The plus is they you have your base defense that helps you kill his romans.
Also, a mass of scouts and marines are able to kill the early push, as well as super early tanks and mass marines.
In short. If they start building defensive units at the same time you build your attacking units, the rush will fail. It only works if they plan on going economical and dont build units until you start knocking on their front door.
Hope this helped.
