Instead, attack in single file, or from different directions at once. That way, you spread out - and therefore multipy - your attack!
Boirunners guide how NOT to play in Spring

() PLAY DYNAMICALLY! The speed setting is there for a reason! If the game is slow for a while, do not hesitate to increase speed by pressing the "+" button. Why wait and do nothing when you can fast forward the game until something interesting happens? That's stupid. And if your host decides to .setmaxspeed, that is unacceptable behaviour, and should be followed by a ragequit to demonstrate that it will not be tolerated. Nobody has the right to waste your time! Also, just before an attack, you should pause the game so you have more time to micro all your units. That's what the pause key is there for, after all. The defender gets the same time as you, so it's all fair. Of course if someone else pauses, you should just unpause if you don't have anything to micro. The other guy could do that too, so if he doesn't he's just a n00b who doesn't deserve better!
() CHOOSE YOUR STARTING LOCATION CAREFULLY! This cannot be emphasized enough! Image if you started in front of all your allies, thus dieing first! You would be called a n00b by all your allies! Therefore, set your starting point in front, but do not click ready. After everyone else in your team has readied up, change your starting location to behind the strongest player (besides you of course!!) in your team. This way, he will protect you as you tech to t2 with your four metal spots, and you will survive longest, proving that you are the only non-n00b in your team!
() PLAN WISELY! Before the game has started, you need to plan on what units you will use to crush your n00bish enemy. Under no circumstances should you deviate from your plan. If you do, that proves that your plan wasn't good and that you are a n00b. If you were, for example, to chose hovercraft as your winning strategy, you should never even have to build a shipyard! That is not part of your strategy! Remember: only n00bs ignore their plans!
() SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE! Fast units have almost no hp and do litte damage. Therefore, they are as good as useless in spring. How will you kill a krog with pussy units like the Zipper? That ridiculous! As soon as you can, you need to focus on building Sumos and such. It may take them a while to get there, but at least they will do some damage and take down a HLT or two. After all, that's why you are attacking his base. If your ally runs past the enemies defenses, and tries to get past them into his base, tell them they are n00bs. How could you win a game when the enemies defenses are still there? That's dumb. Remember: always attack the frontal defenses first. Think about it: his fusion reactors can't kill your units. His HLTs can. So you need to attack the HLTs, that's the only sure way to win!!

I never forget anything, you n00b! Don't try to cover up that we are in fact the same person!LordMatt wrote:Someone forgot to make one of the posts via his proxy.
() FOCUS AND CONCENTRATE! Don't go building a few of these units and a few of those! Every unit has its role, and thus once you have a role figured out you should only build units fitting that role. Building different types of units for an attack just means that lots of units wont be ideal for the kind of attack you are planning! For example, don't built arty and tanks, because if you tell your army to frontal attack, the arty will be useless, and if you tell it to attack from range, the tanks will be useless! Only build one kind of unit and stick with it, that ensures victory!
