Which ways there are to destroy krogoth? I found that you can use repair and construction bots to disassemble it, is there any other method which makes it hard for a krogoth except another krogoth.

Am I right? Doesn't that hellmachine work underwater?

Oh oh, someone is asking for ways to destroy Krogoths, I feel compelled to paste my:



zwzsg's illustrated guide to killing krogoths (v ├â┼© 0.39)

Sorry for those who have already seen it. Sorry to use TA and not spring screenshots and tactics.

With lots of defense cleverly placed on high ground:
Image
This method was a sucess.



By sneaking the commander behind his back and shooting while he's not looking:
Image
This method works wonder!



By paralysing him with spiders:
Image
This method seem to works.



By ambushing him with a few rockos:
Image
This method gives mild results.



With a lone punisher:
Image
Not really.



With a buzzsaw:
Image
Yay! Buzz > Krogs

Note that this method is ineffective if the krogoth is hiding behind a hill:
Image



With a couple samsons:
Image
Sorry. Try harder next time.



With more krogoths:
Image
Yes!



With less krogoths:
Image
Nope:
Image



With Gollies & Morties:
Image
Total Failure.



With a continous stream of super hot plasma balls:
Image
That's the way to go!



By giving them a nice base to chew on:
Image

This merely delay them:
Image



By trapping them in dragon teeth, then hammering at them with heavy artillery pieces:
Image
This method gives excellent results.



By throwing lots of Maverick at them:
Image

This method fails:
Image



By throwing even more level 2 kbots at them:
Image
Image

Sorry. Seem nothing can stop a squad of veterans krogoth:
Image



With three vulcains + some bertha + lots of guardian:
Image
This method works. .... at least for a while.



With some vulcain cleverly placed in the end of a bottleneck:
Image
Image

This is the best method! Dozen of Krogoths can't do anything against it:
Image

Die krogoths, die!!
Image



With gollies:
Image
Haven't we already tried that? He will survive!



By closing eyes and hoping he'll go away:
Image
This method only works if you keep the eyes closed long enough for the krogoth to completly destroy you.



By fleeing to an island:
Image
This method does not work in Brave Sir Robin's UberHack.



By downlading overpowered third party units:
Image
This method is unfit for online play.



By blocking his way with a single flea:
Image
Sadly, the Fleagoth Mk. II is hard to find.



By requesting the assistance of the Final Frontier Starnavy:
Image

This method fails if the enemy has a larger starfleet:
Image



Coming soon: zwzsg's ultimate guide to killing peewees !

What maps are those anyway? Especially the crazy looking one in the first few images and the snowy one in the last. They look fucking awsome.

They are Epic Fortress (using Henkbein Military Base tileset), and Fortress Europe, by James Beatty, both downloadble from his site, http://www.epicclass.com

Playing on 63x63 maps with a no nuke no offensive air rule is the only way to get Krogoth worth building.

(Oh, and they are TA maps, not Spring maps, in case the 3D pics have mislead you.)

Damn I want maps like those in spring, something with ice or painted desert, ro a really huge map.

Pity spring fairs badly with vulcans or buzzsaws like that, the lag becomes horrendous when they start firing, and I think they look better in that shot firing at the krogoths in the distance.

People should make their features taller in maps!

Very creative and very funny, Zwzsg. I had seen it on TAUniverse, but I still like it! Some maps could really look awesome in the 3d replayer - we have to port the one with the plateaus to Spring (well part of it I guess, it's too large for current Spring limitations).
