thanks, Jellyman. Hm, seems like I just need to play more BA.

And not on greenfields or speedmetal...

Unless you think speed metal and green fields are fun.

My build-order on Greenfields:

Realise I'm playing Greenfields
Build air factory
Build transport
Pick up comm
Flying commbomb somebody
RAGE QUIT
Find a host playing a better map

It allows for amazingly quick games.

I uploaded a greenfields replay at http://www.unknown-files.net/replays/?168.

Here I do lab cons, reclaim lab, windmills, solars, advanced solars and win the game with hawk spam. I did start a fusion, but never finished it. Compare to my ally beside me who seemed to go very quickly to advanced solar, and had a tech 2 lab up before me. He did have the benefit of taking the units of a departed ally...

First I would like to say that I'm no longer a "greenfieldser" and I think the map will teach you bad habits, but here was my build que when I stopped playing it seriously...

Kbot lab. Dont build anything before this.
Reclaim tree or two with comm, then guard lab
7 kbot cons, all sent to reclaim trees
Reclaim lab with comm and kbots
Have comm build a few llts, then spam spaced metal makers
Have kbots each spam thier own row of wind, with a few defenders mixed in

Then i adapt from there, however the game goes. I usually tech at about 150-200 winds.

I highly suggest you play other maps though... greenfields will teach you nothing but bad tactics, and all it is is a build order. These days when I play it you can find me having all my allies build 3 wind then assist a vech lab I build. I use the vech lab to spam flash, take out half thier people, then use the fact that we have twice as many comms to end the game with comm bombs/rushes. It rarely fails.

Once a greenfieldser, always a greenfieldser.

Hahaha, laughing irl.

I think its worth playing a couple of games on green_fields for new people, it helps people under eco a little better and the benfits of using e > m thingys.

adv solars have a lower metal cost per E than fusions, which if you have a lot of room to play with, can be useful, sometimes.

Waiting for someone to go against what I said

greenfields VS speedmetal; which is dumber?

I think its worth playing a lot of games on real, non-porc maps. It teaches you how to actually play the game well. Including how to manage an economy, micro your units, and outhink your opponent.

Probably speedmental because of the chokepoint and utter lack of resource management needed.

this is the only way to play on gf:

1) draw penis on map
2) build dt over lines for dong-d-fens
3) build annihilator on tip of said d-fens
4) giggle like a schoolgirl
