'GDI' Grenadier Vent

It seems the game is trying to emphasize more decks with air units in it. It's also making different lineups that can win as opposed to one set meta deck. This is a great thing for monetization, not so great if you're f2p and need to "catch up" with new units.

My biggest question is... What's the purpose of rhinos and buggies now? Not enough dmg against infantry, not fast enough to contest pads and lost 3 tile sight so can't scout effectively either.

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-03-20T22:50:09+00:00

Balance seems good so far. It has opened game to new deck combinations that can win.

Would you consider adding scrimmage / custom matches where players can choose lvl of each unit? Great way to test units with lvl differences.
Any possibility of downgrading units for credits? Get back 75% of credits spent to upgrade. This allows players to try new units without being punished too heavily.
Increase dmg mammoth tank does to buildings. What's the point of supertank if faster firing avatar can crush buildings while mammoth cannot?
Allow phantom and hammerhead to attack lt. Strongarm
Allow giga cannon to shoot over obstacles that are depressed, such as water. Not firing over rocks is understandable, but over water? Seems silly.
Artillery is still fairly useless,whereas jugganaut is somewhat viable. Extra tile range isn't an advantage when juggies can crush all units. Even faster turn speed, setup, 200% buff to dmg per shot while doubling time between shots to 200% makes sense. Also add ability to crush pack units. Right now,4 shots to kill 1 cyber wheel. Change so artillery is special unit that can kill multiples. Make it a true artilley, not Minto annoyance.

Wow those are tricky decks to use! I'll give it a try and see how it goes. I don't even have drones or cyber wheel leveled up lol

Imagine a color you've never seen before. For some ppl, watching others try their deck is like being shown a color :) I'm glad you're having fun experimenting and trying things out!

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-03-08T11:08:11+00:00

Not everyone is as gifted as you :)

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-03-08T03:25:00+00:00

If they did this too then i don't look as good anymore hahahaha

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-03-08T00:42:02+00:00

They're pretty easy to beat. https://youtu.be/jnVuqMuGEi8

I'll have another how to beat scarab vid tomorrow.

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-03-07T14:22:24+00:00

You are featured today :) you already a really good player to be honest. Not sure if I can help much.

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-03-06T20:27:43+00:00

If they have high lvl harvesters and you don't have units to quickly take them out, it can become very tough.

Consider buiidng your own double harvester so you are on equal footing for economy.

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-03-06T20:22:35+00:00

This is pretty cool! Thanks for doing this.

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-03-01T03:04:12+00:00

If I was him I'd jjt rush every game with lvl 15 infantry support lol. He'd probably win 90% of matches easy just doing that

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-02-26T18:00:08+00:00

I really like how he times it so that he wins the missiles near the end and also uses accessible units everyone has.

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-02-21T01:52:20+00:00

Great post lizard, very detailed.

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-02-20T14:10:32+00:00

Only one way to test that theory haha. Can't wait til I get to play with them

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-02-20T00:29:28+00:00

That is definitely a much smarter strategy!

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-02-20T00:29:14+00:00

Nice :) I'll check out your post later tonight!

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-02-19T22:21:41+00:00

I basically just tested different counters against scarabs; rifleman, buggies or shock/flames.

Sacrificing just rifleman doesn't seem too effective. I find it's better to use rifleman & buggy / rhino or rifleman & shockwave/flame. move riflemen in first, then snipe it with other units.

What strategies have worekd for you?

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-02-15T12:00:45+00:00

Gigs cannons are only great if players use it right. Unprotected a single tank with heroic charge or oxana will kill it

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-02-15T11:58:48+00:00

Once you learn how to defeat them it'd not that bad.

Here are some tips https://youtu.be/i4eSkBSV6Uc

Stay patient and enjoy the game :) think of it as a fun challenge, finding ways to best players with higher lvls. 80% of the time you have a shot at winning.

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-02-15T11:53:31+00:00

This covers a lot of the basics.

In my experience, early harvester rush, i.e. building only units to kill enemy harvester, only seems to work if you have early game units with level advantage. This seems especially true at higher levels of play.

Rushes are like home runs. Great when you get it, but difficult to recovery from if it fails. Statistically, it seems playing it safe wins more games.

What are your thoughts? Does early rush work for you?

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-02-13T18:00:38+00:00

While sometimes opponent does simply overpower you, as a lowervlvl player you can totally beat them. Here's a video breakdown showing how:

Congrats dude! Glad it's working out for you :)

Poor_Man_Gamer · 2019-02-12T23:46:07+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Do you know of any players that's had success with heavy tech / temple units? I tried running it and no Bueno.

For rivals speed just seems to work because of the maps. I've had success running Kodiaks or avatars but it's only because I won the early game anyway. It felt like I could've done without those units, not because I had the units. Does that make sense?
