as you may or may not know, I'm a big fan of 1v1's. I was hoping some pros would respond to this topic so that we may have a proper discussion!
In my opinion, the best 1v1 build overall has to be the 'tdh buid/foxer build'
TDH/FOX Basically, you are Capitalist and you build bank, post, then adapt to your opponent. This works because capitalist has a resource benefit over all other governments.
Miami's Counter(or at least Miami showed me this, idk if it is his creation) This is built as a counter for the above build. You're a Monarch. Armoury first, then forge. Get a Mod. Phantom and protect it with some scouts and the odd roman. Because of the armoury you can spam loads of scouts.
If you know of a pro 1v1 build, please share it here! Also please comment on the above!
First, the tdh(Foxer) can be used with any gov. It is the best strategy of today.
The counter you say should only have about a 15% win ratio vs the Foxer. The Foxer has 13 variations that can stop most if not all strategies. The user of the Foxer, needs to know all the counters, and needs to know the timings for the build.
@ SoymasterYos: What's the triple bank strat? Who did you play Was it a good player?
@ gaboloth: Bank + Forge is a good rush, ive played it a lot. Like that build, but outpost beats forge generally. Do you get a mod. sakata with your inlfuence?
Anyone has other good 1v1 builds? Maybe some cool Monarchy build? Also. how would you counter the fox build?
Go for a bank, hospital, war sanctum, treasury. get 2 spec. ops buildings, set them to make influence, down ur treasury, get spec. ops, mass 5-7 saints, 2-3 sphinxes. You should be able to counter almost anything the foe can throw at you. ( This is for 2v2, have an ally cover you)
Profoxer is a diamond. Only a Diamond can scratch itself. Back in the odd days there were no such gems. Back in the old days, we had a rubies and sapphires, which don't scratch eachother.
The fox I beat using the ttb was a noob.
All you need to know for a 1v1 build is Bank Outpost.
the strategy i use is i just make a forge (no bank) and make as many scouts as i can. Then i make a generator and just adapt to what my opponent is doing. I'm using capitalist, BTW.
Forge first, I've played that recently. I was capitalist and i made 1 scout, then some romans. With those i try to pin my opponent. My goal is to get as much influence as possible, then get a mod sakata to finish it. It's really fun and unexpected. Too bad it gets countered quite easily by an outpost.
Does everyone agree with Yos (and my OP) that the ultimate 1v1 build has got to be Bank Outpost? (And if so: how would you counter this? Would you simply get bank outpost yourself, or something else maybe?)
Pacmanateyou, there is no build that can beat the Profoxer besides the Profoxer.
Outpost users are not punished for making units because you don't need manpower to upgrade technology. You may have a build that beats the current transitions of the Profoxer, but once the Pros play you enough your build will be almost useless. I say almost useless because you can use your old builds to practice mechanics; that is what I do with outdated builds, and that is why I still use the triple bank build.
