So, since my last competition was pretty much a discussion, I'll now close that and move over to this general colony discussion (the others are all specific)
TALK ABOUT ANYTHING RELATED TO COLONY (and beef burgers)
What do you think is the best unit to rush? I prefer Romans myself, for their easy to make along with having good air and ground coverage.
Romans cannot attack air. And the splash damage from tanks can deal a lot of damage. Tanks are the best to rush because they have the most health of the early units and don't have severe weaknesses to any of the early units.
@MiamiBigAL
probably a Roman spam.
That does work well, although against a Communist it wouldn't, they would get $ and influence from that, I suppose you know that though.
Well, it starts with an S, it ends with a T, and it's not salt.
Far snipers are good against groditz.
If you mean Scouts, they cannot deal a lot of damage on tanks unless they are massed, scouts only deal 20 per shot, and against a group that won't deal much, while it's a weakness, it's not a severe weakness. And can be countered with marines. And more effective than romans in many situations. If your enemy goes for romans, you would be better with tanks than scouts. Scouts are also effective at rushing actually, probably more than tanks, not effective during eq though.
If you mean saints, those cannot be deployed quick enough, even as a monarchy.
Tanks are the best to rush because they have the most health of the early units and don't have severe weaknesses to any of the early units.
Tanks take a lot of skill, even I can't pull it off perfectly, and btw 5 scouts will be a problem for you if you don't have marines. And as for weaknesses, there's something called a sniper that outranges the tank.

Some players were replaced due to unprecedented amounts of rage quitting. Continuity also defaulted all his games from his 4th game onwards because of his mysterious disappearance. If anyone finds him, give his Mom a call as she is very worried about his mental health.
