Brazilian Battlefield and 15 more Thuds than you have vs. Guardian = win.

Guardians are not meant for defense or offense. They're meant for area control. They can't stop an assault, and they can't break enemy defensive lines - only move them back a little. Given that they cost more than half of the metal you need to tech (where much better options become available) and have the dps of a LLT (that's right - LLT dps = HLT dps = Guardian dps, rounding slightly), Guardians blow.

The guardian in BA actually hurts the game more than it helps it since noobs constantly try and build them.
Remove it already.

maybe make a noob widget (activated by default), that triggers warning messages on certain events. eg when building a guardian, it rings an alarm sound (like com beeing attacked), plus have some big swinging text on screen (like the eyes widget). maybe there are other events that could make it go crazy.

So tell us what YOUR noob units are if you think almost all of them are that useless I do agree Guardian isnt that useful for its metal cost....How bout we just put the guardian and plasma cannons on towers and thin them out a bit and make them short range plasma cannons like in NOTA...Since it would probably be more effective against the annoying stumpy spam.....Does anyone know the stumpies direct counter? I mean stun drones and dragons teeth are a decent way of stopping them from running by but what exactly will be able to kill those things in a head on fight, raiders have more health but they dont do as nearly as much damage.

Well... I have a copy of OTA+CC+BT (Maybe BT?).

The CORE has an immobile turret called the Firestorm, built by (all??) T2 constructors.

If you want to rename Guardian, you should rename all other units as well, since they doesnt make any sense.

For example, Krogoth, what does it even mean? Seriously, or what does Bantha mean? some fucking star wars fictional animal name omg...!!

IMO Krogoth and Bantha should be renamed as Mobile Armored Nuclear Bomb

You sure you're not thinking of the Immolator? But that was L1. Iirc, that's the only real unit that was totally gutted out of AA/BA. Would be nice to see it back, considering that Arm has more selection for L1 kbots.

No, I'm not. I tested it yesterday just to be sure.

TA + CC + BT, and the T2 conbot has the "Firestorm" in its buildmenu. The description is "Flamethrower Swarm Defense".

Then it's an unknown third party units.

For there are no firethrowing turrets in any of the official Cavedog units.

Except the Dragon's Maw and the Pyro?

To me, it always looked like they hurled mud at the units xD

And I don't recall installing any 3P units >_>
