This is simply a guide on how to counter a specific type of unit, if you don't know the best ways.

Feel free to object or add something.

Romans
Missles own these guys (black queens included) If it's early in the game, break out air units, preferably phantoms. Tanks also do a good job. (Romans have weak range and low unit damage)

Scouts
Sakata MII wipe them easily. Marines also do a good job in masses.

Phantoms
Sakata MII, or scouts/black queens. Missles work too.

Sakata MII
Any ground unit will take care of it, hover tanks are the best.

Sakata Spider
Massed tanks can kill it before it gets in range, air units also do a good job.

Gladiators
Hover tanks. Period.

Marines
Tanks are best for this job. Black Queens and missles are also fine.

Chronite Tank
Any air unit will kill this, because they are so slow. Missles will take them out too.

Snipers
Get any stronger unit within range and that'll do it. Missles work just fine as well.

Groditz
Missles, tanks, phantoms are also stronger than groditz in forms of machine gun fire.

Hover tanks

Phantoms work wonder here.

Black Queens

Strongest counter is probably Sakata MII or Gladiators.


Misc Tips -


1. Missles will kill the following in one hit: Romans, scouts, phantoms, sakata spiders, marines, chronite tanks, snipers and groditz.

2. Don't use forge/forge.

3. Armories are actually cheaper resource structures than banks and generators because it doesn't require upgrading. (and provide more than tier-1 resource structures)

Here is the amount of resource per 60 seconds:

Bank: 36
Treasury: 80
Generator: 36
Solargrid: 80
Armory: 54
Hospital: 36
Outpost: 20
Forge: 24

Armory first is much better then bank first.

I still use bank first for forge because in my opinion it gets it up quicker.

For outpost, I use armory.

Hover tanks is really the only good counter against glads, and a large group of glads can wipe them anyways.

New influence unit, counter with saints, or pretty much any air unit will do.

A-27 Pride-->

Counter with...
...

Pretty much everything. If you get ANYTHING, except a sniper perhaps, in range of the Pride...it'll die, cause it just doesn't have enough power to kill anything.

Saint-->The normal anti-air, sakatas. Or mass scouts, but it does have splash i believe. A queen will tie.

Farsniper--> Pride or romans...or whatever you normally use for anti-sniper (saint works wellish)

And I think that's it...

It's hard to counter a pride backed with meds though, except black queen.
