Hey I noticed this thread is pretty empty, but I really enjoy this game and I could really use some help. I was playing Aeon as the grey faction in the furthest bottom right, I would just like to know if I did well on my part as air or how I could improve, mainly in my economy, thanks.

Replay UID : 6078785

I ended up winning here but I freely admit I shouldn't have. I got out eco-ed hard and that is a mystery to me since I feel like I prevented my opponent from keeping much map control. I have a lot of problems on this map and I'm not sure why.

600 vs 700 rated Ladder game. I lost the game in 4 minutes and the main reason i see is luck. (I know that is not the case) But he sends 2 tanks to the left expansion and i send 1, so i lose it. I send 3 tanks to the right expansion and he sends his com so i can not gain this one too. His lab finishes my mex while my tanks shoot the ground...
Is my start build really this bad or what allowed him to win so early?

Darth_Google,

1st bomber is feasible. Do 1 pgen, air fac, then 1-2 mexes and several more pgens. You just need a scout AND a bomber so your B.O. should be bomber + scout. Then yes, don't attack the turtles base - follow "The Art of War" and attack a weak expansion/base/etc or try to eliminate a small enemy group by attacking with an overwhelming force. If a player turtles, he invests plenty into defense and nearly nothing into offense.

There's a reason why PDs are labeled as "defense" - they are static and do not kill anything outside their range. If someone storms head on - then they earn back their mass very quickly. If not... they are useless.

Can someone give me some advice on how to improve my late game? I've now lost two ladder matches on crossfire canal where I just end up a bit lost, not knowing what to do. During the replay below I felt like I was way behind, but after re-watching maybe I was still in the game, just didn't have the persistence to keep playing....

Cheers

And another question.

Here i try a bomber first but fail spectacularly. Almost pull a win out of the turtle's hands in the end but still die.

I feel the problem being is that i get a bomber about minute too late than it should be, fail to secure map control, then try to go for a guncom when its too late for that which makes the situation worse and then it goes downhill on the spiral.

I tried to bait his units out of turret coverage and well.. could've worked if not for that pesky Titan or something.

Probably should've airdropped com over the hill to get to the factory, or should've not tried to go 1st bomber in current patch while not being familiar with how it works, but man..

This hurts me.

I'd really aprreciate any and all advice on the replay i have there.

Ok yesterday i played a 3-way FFA and almost pulled a win but lost because i did not exactly know HOW many mercies you need to kill a com and also facetanked for no reason after losing half HP after baiting another player.

So i know why i lost but i'd really appreciate the analysis on the replay anyways.

I believe they are also excel in gunship-to-gunship combat, but since nobody bothers to fight gunships with gunships it rarely comes into play.

Thank you for the eco tipps, I'll do so from now on.
I though swiftwinds are a good air defense, cheaper than T3, am I wrong? Also I read that Aeon Gunships are a good choice so I build them. So what do you say: T3 ASF and Strat-Bombers?

Hello guys,

Thank you! Paisley

First of all, you stalled power at the beginning you built too many mexes before getting your hydro done
Second, dont expect to be able to win with units on Astro Crater Battles, is a cancer turtle map
Third, basic eco steps, all mexes go to t2 BEFORE you even think about mass storage...

As air, you're supposed to be getting t3, leave your other players to squat about with gunshit or swift winds

Hello guys,

I'm really new and a beginner and are trying to play some easy maps in team play so it's not that frustrating at the beginning
What happened two or three times now is that I think we/I played more or less good but got stuck in middle/late game. I like air but when the other has good defense I guess there is no way for air attack against turtle base? Like T3 bombers? Nukes work for me when I'm fast, but as in this replay they got defense quick, than it's useless. T3 arty takes a lot of time, once I tried T3 rapid fire arty but when it had 97% got destroyed because all my resources went there.
So my question is: What should I do when I am at this point in the game? Look for example the replay. We got 100% air and navy control, land was okay, but we got a little bit stuck, I was out of ideas and the other team had to much time to build cool stuff...

Thank you! Paisley

First of all, your opponent was 1300 global, who had just not played ladder a lot so don't be too discouraged.

Second, learn BOs, you had over 300 extra power in the last one.

Third, don't send engineers to expand alone, protect them. 2 Tanks + 1 Scout kill 3 Labs.

Fourth, if you can win air, spam T1 bombers. Auroras are paper and your bomber's shred them apart in seconds.

EDIT: keyser, I'm not much to give you advice but your BO is worse than his, one extra early pgen before hydro is useless on wonder with the trees and hydro so close. Then he just basically ecos one step ahead of you for the rest of the game.

Seeing as you guys were doing basically the same strategy, he just does it better because that's his only strategy.

Broken trees matter a lot for reclaim speed on wonder because you will get the rocks under them a lot later if you break the trees on top. That means if they're not broken, you don't need to use nearly as many engineers for reclaim, and also the reason why everyone ninjascouts the trees.

Seemed like you just didn't see his T2PD creep and it killed a lot of your units and commander HP. A couple T1 bombers would have solved that, had you seen it earlier.

I'm about a 700 rated player in Ladder (so nothing special).
I played a 300 rated (Volusianus) who absolutely destroyed me twice with aurora spam to which I had no answer. The first game lasted under 12 minutes and I was shut out from the very beginning.
I know I let his harassment with labs and first bomber go on too long but if someone could look through and give me some pointers as to how to deal with all this spam, i'd really appreciate it.
First one 12mins long UID 5182236
Second one 23 mins long UID 5182351 (apologies for my saltiness in this one, t'was a frustrating game).

Cheers
Skriker
