Hey, this is my best effective stratergy. I have won 90% of my games like this.
1. I suggest capitalist as the optimol class for my stratergy, as you need money for the buildings.
2. Once the game has started, build a bank($50).
3. Once that has built, and you have $50, upgrade your bank to Tier 2.
4. Than construct an armoury($60 MP25 Energy 25), and once it is built, shift click "Plan Reinforcements". You need the Man Power for later.
5. Than construct an outpost ($40 MP25 Energy25).
6. Once you have $50 construct a Generator in the last building spot.
Note: You need the Manpower, the Money and the Energy for later when you go to construct your Tier 3 units.
7. Save $30 and upgrade the Outpost to Tier 2.
8. As soon as you can, upgrade the Generator to Tier 2.
9. Save $80 and Energy50 to upgrade the Outpost to Tier 3.
10. Now you should have alot of Manpower and Energy, thats mainly what we need to construct our Tier 3 units.
In all you should have created your Tier 3 base in under 2 minutes if done quickly and effectivly.
You are free to produce what unit combinations you like, but here is what I like to do as a 1st wave, which does considerable damage. And of course, make futher and larger attack waves.
- 2 Black Queens. - To counter Air and Ground - 3 Hover Tanks. - To take out Anti Air units. - 5 Groditz - To contribute to Air and Ground attack.
************************************************
Exceptions to Stratergy:
If they seem to have alot of air units, such as Scouts or Blackqueens, switch the Generator for a Forge, so you can produce Sakata MK-II which are the best Anti air unit. Also if you do start to run low on energy, you can do a command called Salvage in the Forge which can help boost your Energy levels.
in late game resources arnt all that important since you have a stockpile of them...
Often there is no "late game"
also are the servers always this ful in colony on the weekends?
I got in just fine...
What's the point of having an arsenal if you aren't going to use glads, sakata spiders aren't that good from my experiences. Phantoms and Sakata MK-II ftw!!!
I think you have arsenal/manufactory mixed up. Phantom/Sakata M-II is actually weak against other Sakatas because Phantoms are your ground sweep force. And if they have hover tanks to take out your sakatas too...
