Re: Balanced Annihilation V6.31
Puts you at a resource disadvantage though, the flashes die to his gators without costing him anything. He has to weight how much he wants to micro his gators vs deal with his base but I doubt you'll be able to keep any meaningful attacks up for a prolonged time so he'll get a breather now and then that allows him to control his econ and stuff.
Re: Balanced Annihilation V6.31
As you get better at the game you find you have more and more time to spend microing units.UAF wrote: Also, I notice people here constantly talk about Microing your gators, flashes, reapers and other tanks. But there is a limit to how much you can (and want) to micro your units. I need to tend to my base, my economy, and perhaps attack from other directions. I don't want to micro my gators just to defeat some flashes (or my reapers against something else) while the enemy can spend his time managing other affairs. If that's the case then flashs (If I'm to continue on that example) superior. The player have limited concetration ability. If I know that the enemy will need to either Micro his gators or loose them for every group of flashs I build. I'll just send one group to keep him microing his gators and another to get his base. Then spend my brainpower developing while he try to Micro a bunch of tanks to survive.

T3 needs a serious change, like the only used t3 unit is the krog, becaus if you have 1 it will pwn like 25 shiva's (or more) and costs alot less, the krog usually cant be stopped before it does serious damadge, and then you lose.....
Re: Balanced Annihilation V6.31
Ahh, but can a krog climb up hills and rapidly shoot air?Hoi wrote:T3 needs a serious change, like the only used t3 unit is the krog, becaus if you have 1 it will pwn like 25 shiva's (or more) and costs alot less, the krog usually cant be stopped before it does serious damadge, and then you lose.....
Re: Balanced Annihilation V6.31
the point is, there is no point in making something diffrent than a krog when you've made your t3 lab, or the enemy krog will come and does serious damage to eco, making it unable to win, the only thing you can do is hope your krog blows up some eco too and then it all starts over again, a krog is like a nuke that can resist anti's, i suggest lowering the costs and dmg, def ect with some number, make it like a T3 gollie, and let the shiva be the reaper, same for bantha, its not that you cant kill it, it just takes too long

And since when did people start fighting Krogs with Shivas? Shiva is mainly used for amphibious purposes, although it's got enough health and firepower to be used as a tank replacement mid-late game. Kargs? Comon, it's a T3 unit that is decent against air AND all-terrain AND doesn't cost that much. What more could you want?
Re: Balanced Annihilation V6.31
Kargs and Shivas are both brilliant, better than Krogs in most normal situations. Probably still not cost effective if you do statistics, but more useful anyway.
Re: Balanced Annihilation V6.31
Hey, if the Gantry were about 30% less costly with respect to metal, I'd start using it midgame for a Shiva/Karg combo.

Re: Balanced Annihilation V6.31
There are some points here that I don't agree with. Since the addition of Krogcrush, no amount of Fleas the engine can handle are capable of killing a Krog.JAZCASH wrote:Liches > Krog

10 Berthas at range are certainly > Krog, so I don't see how 10 Vulcans would not be.
Crawling bombs can be airlifted and flown directly to the Krog, not to mention offloaded by an Intruder right in front of the Krog, so they could become > than Krog.
Re: Balanced Annihilation V6.31
Also, please let Combat Engineers build crawling bombs.
Re: Balanced Annihilation V6.31
I've killed krogs with snipers.
Re: Balanced Annihilation V6.31
Yeh, I forgot Snipers.
Snipers and Banishers and Liches are probably the best weapons to use against a krog.

Com can easily kill a krog.
Re: Balanced Annihilation V6.31
Liche needs to be fixed.
When a Liche has been killed, but not turned into dust, it will still fire its main weapon and also maintains its Weapon's max distance.
It will tumble down as it is crashing and continue to fire its main weapon until it hits the ground.
This really needs to be fixed since AA no longer shoots at disabled planes.
Easiest solution would be to force the Liche to "hold fire" after it has been killed.
If this is happening to the Liche, then odds are it is also happening with other bombers as well.

Re: Balanced Annihilation V6.31
You really should be capable of figuring out yourself that "if (get CRASHING) return 0;" at the start of AimPrimary would do that...
