Also note you dont have to have a pure infl build. You still get decent resource regen as monarchist, and the passive infl you get is high enough that you only need 1 spec ops. Actually you could probably even make a sphinx or 2 in a standard hover build just using monarchist instead of cap as govt, though you would have less sphinx. You would also have a lot more meds that way. There are a lot of diff strats and things that still need to be tested as this is still a very new update :P.

something like a hover build that just has a spec ops thrown in might also be effective to have prides and sphinx supporting your hovers.

If you're playing it right, you should be able to nearly CONSTANTLY pump medics the "normal" way.

zeke is that for 1v1 or 2v2

ACTUALLY, i don't build outpost at all with monarchy. Just go straight for war sanctum after my treasury.

also nume, the sphinxs have a much lower range than hovers so they don't quite play into the hover build

I play 1v1, so you can probably guess what it's for ^_^

If you're playing 2v2, just have your partner go for Scouts as Fascist transitioning into Phantoms, and you can safely mass up Prides.

does a sniper build work for 1v1??

Heck yeah. It works exceptionally if you have enough manpower. If they go forge, just mass up marines.

I don't play too often, but it works for me.

hmmm.... are either of u playing tomorrow? i will be happy to go online and see how a sniper 1v1 build manages..

Ah, sorry, no time tomorrow.

Also, a Sniper build doesn't work so well if they know what you're doing

what about this.

(capitalist) bank > hospital > outpost (build 5 tanks) > baracks, and then start building like 6 snipers, set everything in front of your opponents base and keep spamming marines

in 1v1 obviously.
like a lot of rush builds, this wouldnt work if they know your rushing ahead of time, but if there going for the traditional hover tank/ sakata build, would this win?

So I am the only one who knows the balence factor of the monarchy.

what do u mean balance factor
