Toss up the metal makers and keep running headlong!
And no, I've never used L3 defenses. Most E&E games seem to end markedly before that point. I'll admit L2 Anti-Air is quite useful, however.
Whoever said AA had supreme balance? It has many flaws, though I have never seen an AK & Bladewing winning move. Anyway... If you're going to continually bag on players that happen to play E&E and AA, perhaps you should stop talking. It's really getting quite offensive.
It's getting offensive that you continually refuse to accept that EE is different from AA and want everything to be balanced in kind. That's not the way it works. EE different game from AA.
Sorry, there are no metal makers in EE. BTW I don't bag on players that play either or both. I simply keep mentioning that they are seperate games in their own right.
Why run static defences if you don't need them? If I have the units to guard my base/expansion, then why would I want defences? Units are mobile and can be used to ambush.
I didn't respond to you directly because you never take advice and slough off the opinions of others who understand how the mod works better than you do as being wrong, it gets really annoying. Would you rather be ignored or be told you are wrong?
Having mroe units is a tactic, the same as airdropping, amphibs or a gazillion of other tactics in EE that work really well. You need to understand a very important concept for E&E.
The game is made to be primarily fought with lv1 units. Lv2, lv3, Air, and ships are primarily BACKUP units. Therefore it makes sense. You do not HAVE to have Lv2 or lv3 to win, BUT, it makes your forces much mroe useful, however don't send 2 lv3's off by themselves and expect them to do much cause they will fall quickly, HOWEVER, when backed up by lv2 and lv1 they are OMGWTFPWN at what they do.
Break out of the TA box will you please? It would make all the guys who understand the game, lives much easier.
Edit: unless you're playing a super metal heavy map, you MUST control more territory due to the fact that there are no metal makers in E&E. Try playing on bigger maps such as 20x20 or bigger. If you play on smaller than 16x16 maps then you will get some odd gameplay.
Lastly, why don't you start posting some replay's of the games you've had and then we can help you understand what you did wrong and what you did right that you can do even better.
