Lern2play noob: A hint

[Scikar]

Levellers are still built to kill Flashes like that. Sure you could send 5k metal worth of Flashes at 2k metal of Levellers and maybe beat them, but clogging the barrels of your enemy's guns with your corpses is Zapp Brannigan tactics.

jeffy spam > levelers or januses > levelers

I was talking about BA. Some very good players switch to stumpies when they get levelers.

Believe everything, assume nothing.

You don't make any sense.

Yeah right. Read it over and over again until it makes sense.

@sheep: 150 fleas is > all and costs < all

IMHO this is worthy of being bumped.

Also something that has been bothering me recntly, please correct me if I'm wrong somewhere:

If you DID stay in the back and tech to t2:

First : "t2 plz" doesn't mean the player is asking you to build him a t2 LAB in his backyard (he can usually do that himself, and the t2 lab is almost worthless if you don't have the eco to build from it).
It means to send him a t2 BUILDER, so that he can upgrade his mexes/build some t2 defenses.
A side getting t2 mexes fast is sure to get a significant advantage.

Second : the BEST thing you can do AS SOON AS you got the t2 lab, and made a t2 con for yourself, is to make t2 cons for each of your allies.

More important: DON'T ASK "who needs t2 con", you're only wasting your time and concentration and those of your allies. LOOK AROUND, and send the cons to all the players that don't have a t2 lab yet.

(Same logic might apply to t1 air transports)

How to share units:
Select the units you want to give, press H for the give menu, and after having verified you're giving to the right player check the "give units" checkbox and click Apply.
Or better get the Advanced Players List widget, and doubleclick on the tank symbol to share units.

150 fleas is > all

Only if it's 150 fleas per second.

If you've gone t2, you're best off sending a freaker or Consul to the front line people, then a t2 con proper to near their mines, so they don't have to balance an entire t2 econ and def on a single con.

Plus consul and freaker are much faster than the t2 cons proper.

And FLAE SPAEM wins most games with a zipper mixed in or maybe a bomber for the llts.

I have spesifically taken a habit of asking before giving because of people who ignore the con for the rest of the game despite chat and pointers.

This. Peeves me off, especially when it's a conV - those things aren't free, y'know.

As for levellers, "choke their barrels with our dead" works quite well if you're using raiders/stumpies - the levellers can't fire over wrecks.
