Prides have a LOT of hp, and they're sorta fast...

Basically I'd guess you use them to chase down infantry (anti-sniper anyone?), and then annhilate them with the splash.

Prides are supposed to be backed up with medics for them to be effective. And yes, they do have a lot of hp (the same amount as a glad i believe, but less damage than a glad). However, Prides are VERY effective (okay maybe VERY isn't a good word choice, rather, just effective) against air, more effective than glads because they have a faster fire rate. Scouts will get eaten up by a few prides, phantoms will kill a few prides but they will die.

And, to kill grouped units? If they couldn't take 1 hov tank, what makes you think 25 of them can take 5 hov tanks? Alright, maybe, just maybe, like 100 of them can take 20 hov tanks. But no one is gonna wait that long or be that nice.

A lot?
Not necessarily. About the same as a glad.

Well, since they have splash, they take out groups better than glads. I would guess they do equal or more than glads because they have faster fire rate for air.

Well, they're damage is very weak, anyways, that you have to mass them if you plan to use them offensively.

Eh, they outrange air units and run faster than them, so you could micro with them.

Not by much.

Soo....after that test...

Prides got owned by romans XD

Moral: A27-Pride is better anti-air than anti-ground.
Very weak splash.

Moral: I'd rather get get Romans and scouts.

Yeah, romans owned prides.
Ephemeral, we should play sometime.

they should put a limit on snipers or do something to prevent sniper-hold
cause i hate it on earthquake

Well, the point of the game is to try to prevent blockades.

You can always use Romans to counter Snipers on Earthquake.
