This explains why they can chase after me no matter what. Perhaps lower their range if you're going to make it faster.

[Decimator]

Well, they are already the shortest ranged unit in the game, draco. anything armed except perhaps the GD scout can kill them 1 on 1.

[Peet]

It's really effective to rush your allies with as well, just ask Fang

[Decimator]

That probably won't work anymore, since they no longer damage allied units.

[Fanger]

No it still works.. see its not a matter of doing damage to allies, more of a matter of sharing said units with the enemy AI once they had reached the center of Peet's base.
