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)

Good guide BUT if enemy(ies) have a huge group of anything else than marines this tips are useless.Huge grup owns anything and nothing stands a change (when I say huge I mean about over 50 units).

This guide is quite outdated, and it's referring to mostly similar amounts of units, not being outnumbered.

why does a sphinx cost so much influ if i can be easily destroyed by marines/romans/scouts and phantoms yes they work well against stronger units but why not the smaller?
plus they dont work well against stronger units if outmassed by them(in my experinece 50 hovers against one sphinx i won) plus it fires to slow

ok.
Btw I have siin that outpost-barracks-arsenal is really awful agains any air units.Marines have good damga but they firerate is so awful that they can usually fire only 1 shot before they die.And gröditz have so minimul damage that theyare useless.Black queens are sow slow to build and their fire rate is also slow, but they are best air defense is you have arsenal.Snipers...They can handel 1 scout but if there are more they die.
Forge (and manufactory and mechanical terminals)is much more better its balanced so you can handel both air and ground attacks.Outpost-barracks-arsenal handel ground with great force its better agains ground than forge-manufactory-mechanical terminals.

It's unfortunate I can't edit posts.

They can handel 1 scout but if there are more they die.


Snipers require good microing to do successfully, and if they are massed they do quite well, but you still need anti air.

This is even better Pro tip: I think monarchy is the worst Government ever because spec ops pride is easily defeat by 2 Chronite tanks in range, special forces can be defeated by queens or a Gladiator, and far sniperscan be kill by a scout or sakata's when in range, a black queen will do it too, AND DONT FORGET TO ADD ME AS A FRIEND PLEASE! period.

PS: ALSO SAY BACK TOO ME IN MY PROFILE, I VISIT THEM EVERYDAY! Goodbye

Firetail. You say that you should never use forge. Well right there is where you're wrong. Without MK's the game is basically already over.
