Favourite Unit

[Luk3us 63]

Sure I did this thread a whilst back but that was for the demo...

 

So favourite unit?

 

Mine... Flame tank... Sure its absolutely **** against everything and anything, but I still love em'. Plus they really do burn down buildings a hell of a lot quicker than most things... Its just a shame they totally suck otherwise.

Got to go with Stealth Tanks. The classic sneak up then hit and run tactic still applies

stealth tanks

 

love em they're so cool

 

i remember they used to be called ezekial's wheel in TD dont know why though.

Idunno, I'm always up for a good infantry spam. Out of all the infantry though, I think I like the fanatics the most.

Avatar Mech

 

It's expensive and it doesn't have anti-air but I still like it...

My favorite unit would have to be the beam cannon. They were long awaited and nobody truly appreciates their sheer power and their extreme range. A group of 10 of these with some Venoms can wipe out a city, a base, and even a group of Mammies. And don't forget the Obi power up.

Scrin assault carrier. Biggest aircraft in the game that doesnt have Slower then snails pace speed.

Build 6 of them, click the Ion storm button, watch everything Die.

Mammies. 'Nuff said.

Annihilator Tripods are way cool.

 

Try going up against Nod AI Steamroller (Hard or Brutal) and then build 6 Tripods, set them to aggressive mode, and attack-move. They will wipe out everything cause Nod AI hardly builds air units.

 

Setting them in aggressive mode makes them use their back cannons on back targets.

 

Assault Carriers are also way cool when they are making Ion Storms of hurricane size. Like 20 of them moving overshadowing a base and then press the button and watch everything die in the pulsing flashes of lightning.

Corruptors, period.

Murderous against infantry and structures, can heal your own units, only costs 1000 and has the looks to boot.

What are the back cannons on the tripods, the mech avatars, and the corruptors?

I've played the game a lot, almost to the end (on the mastermind level for Scrin) but I don't know those units- well, I know the avatars and their abilities, but the avatar mech? I'll have a game and see if I can find them.

Tripods have the nice little EMP effect on units up close. Very rarely used, but can be very useful.

What does that do? Stop vehicles? Disable weapons?

[TheBlackOut 6]

My favorite is the Stealth Tank.

 

Then the Orca.

[Luk3us 63]

What does that do? Stop vehicles? Disable weapons?

 

Temporarily disables vehicles.

Yeah, its not often you get to see that tripods emp attack, but when it does, its fantastic

 

I love setting tripods to fully aggressive, and then running them into a base, doing so makes them fire from all 3 pods, instead of 2, and by running in, they squish inf and small tanks, and emp attack mammies.

 

Just fantastic.

 

As for my favorite unit

 

From a technical point of view, the stealth tank. (Hit and run, its just fun)

From a reality point of view, Scorp Tanks. (Fast, mobile, cheap)

 

From a lore point of view, easily the black hand troopers. Hell, it takes balls to wear a cloak when your primary weapon is a flame thrower.. and they have plenty of it

 

 

Hopefully 1.05 will make them more viable
