I think you mention efficiency compared with a group of L2 units too much. Since its a general statement for all of them just put it ahead of the individual descriptions.

Wow, you managed to completely miss the point of the Karganeth. The Kargeneth is the ultimate porcbreaker on chokepoint maps. You use it's all-terrain abilities to walk over the back entrance to the base and then start tearing it to shreds - and since usually the only unit-defense that can respond to this kind of attack with adequate speed is the airforce, the Karganeth then tears them to shreds with it's all-purpose-missiles. It is by far the most useful of the L3 units. The Krog and Bantha are only important on cramped high-resource maps like Speedmetal, where their space efficiency is key.

The Vanguard was designed by Caydr for some sort of complicated role, but in general it's just usually used like a slower Karganeth without the anti-air capability - as a big all-terrain assault mech instead of spiders.

Turtles + spiders = win + pwn. Especially on altored divide. Problem is I never get to do that, because every time I play altored I use the exact same strategy. Spaem flash. And every time I play altored, the enemy is a bunch of neebs and doesn't see it coming. So I never get to move on to the other thing that happens in approximately 79.2% of altored games that last longer than 10 minutes but nobody ever sees coming, an attack over the mountains.

tl;dr version: lots of nubs play altored.

I missed its point because I never used em before the time I tested em because the Krog is soo overpowered doing some other unit is waste of time... but will add it to their description next time.

I dont think the Vanguard is meant for assault considering his speed and how efficient he is at artillery.
