It's more of a general strategy guide, so it would proably work whit most mods if you replaced the units names.

I cant upload tonight me thinks. I still have some tips i have to write out, plus some strategys about higth advantge and stuff.

I can give you a small index thing thou.

Yes, every one knows that an OTA strategy guide is totally better.

Code: Select all

- If it is a land map, do not build stumpies since the flash is faster, costs less and is all around better.
- Do not build Jeffys because the Flash only costs a little more and is much better.
-Do not build samsons since they no longer fire over friendly units and so, only the front ranks fire.
- Do not go K-Bots because they are slower and weaker with the exception of Rockos that, since they no longer fire over friendly units, aren't really that good anymore.
- And then, go to lvl-2 to build a lvl-2 constructor to build stuff.
- Do not build anything more in lvl-2 since it is a waste of metal and you're better off building more flashes.

um... stumpies fire OVER flashes so a 2:1 ratio is best. if you play 500PopCap then you are not playing OTA coz strictly speaking OTA is a 200 unit limit, at a 200 unit limit quality>quantity @ late game so tanks like reapers appear, deleters etc are used and also voyeurs. lvl1 kbots are INCREDIBLY useful on the defensive when supported by tanks (like reality a combo of inf/tanks will beat either tank/inf spam) watch the min3matvsnoize2 replay too see what i mean. we both use kbots supported by vehicles. scouts are used to SCOUT the enemy base and find weak points etc. hell i even use aircraft constructors early game on a ground map and pull it off!!! watch my OTA replays and see that OTA>xta :p

maybe more of...

Code: Select all

\
 \
  \
   \
    \
OTA\     XTA
      /
     /
   /
  /
 /
/

To put it esay, both have isuses, and maybe OTA is better at the moment, but not much unless when you are playing a metal map, where in XTA there is a lvl 2 tank/krogoth slugfeast, while in ota is fastet rusher. Can some ONEST ota player come forward and addres the big issiues?
And a answear as ''none at all'' is not appricheated, and proably ignored.
(thats you mini3mat)

Cant we agree that both sides need something new? Something that balances lvl 1 vs lvl 2? Making lvl 2 stronger, but lvl 1 not useless? making so krogoths arent UBER, but not wussies? Make wesseals the fast cheap and usefull scouts they are suposed to be? Make lvl 2 AA strong egnuff to take down lvl 2 planes on a 1:2 ├é┬¢ ratio?
Ect...

I think ill make a treadh about this in Mods, check it out-.-*

AA is too buggy atm

atm it is AA<OTA when AA fixed they should be equal but different (AA has SHITELOADS of units though- be warned!)

Posted: **03 Jul 2005, 09:58**

AA when removed of its buggs is > ota.

Its more balanced. And contrary to other OTA based mods every unit doesn't have 3 others that do the same thing.

Posted: **03 Jul 2005, 10:39**

its a nice mod but at best its equal to OTA, too many units! @_@ i like OTA, more tactics than strategy for the most part, HOW you control your flash/stumpy columns and your rocko/hammer/jethro hordes :)

Posted: **03 Jul 2005, 15:12**

I REALLY enjoy attempting to play AA... if you guys get it working...

I'll bust my ass on these models...

oh and by the way,
