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)
Groditz, massed, are pretty good. If you're in Low Tech, Groditz would be your best bet. Snipers aren't as effective towards air units. Snipers, in Earthquake, on the other hand, are great for forming blockades.
Groditz and snipers are both terrible in Normal and Cold War as one missiles can wipe them out. Now, Safe Skies would still be pretty gutsy to use Snipers unless Hover Tanks guard them. Groditz would be useless without Hover Tanks in Safe Skies compared to Snipers because they don't have the range of Snipers and any real damage would be dealt by the Hover Tanks.
So, Snipers have two benefits, while Groditz only have one.
Snipers win.
Twenty Hover Tanks (no Meditecs) or 40 Sakata Spiders?
As for 20 hovs v 40 spiders sadly the result would be random ya know cuz on one hand if that was simulated the hovers superior range will crush them UNTIL the spiders get in range with higher fire rate and repairing the outcome would be mixed if u tried say 10 times but out and out i think sadly the hovers will win most of the time.
in 20 hovers v 40 ag spiders, i would say hovers mostly. it could depend though, when a unit is not moveing it has more range so if the spiders stay still and the hovers advance, then at the right time the spiders advance, the spiders could efectively avoid some of the hovers large range. but i can see some carnage if the hovers stay still and the spiders advance... i guess it would be roughly even in the end.
at lalala: true but unless you get them in early and no one has a forge (scouts), getting them in range is not easy as thay move so slowly and snipers will destroy them. but yea, get them in at the right time = win.
Everyone says that Monarchy imba, but its only because they haven't countered the Bank Specail Operations Forge build. This is simple Chronite tanks lots, ans snipers for taking out the A27-Prides.
You're forgetting that the opponent will be able to make missiles to counter the chronite tanks, and the snipers will be pwned by the A-25 romans and S-marines. I tried countering this with just spamming chronite tanks and A-25 romans. It failed really bad, unfortunately. I knew that if I made snipers I will get pwned by the romans.
If you're playing in cold war then you might have hope. If you play safe skies then you'll have some hope, but not as much as cold war.
