Making multiple hitech factories worthwhile

[AdmiralZeech]

As a companion to the engy spam thread, I really wish something could be done to make it worthwhile / superior to upgrade multiple / all of your factories, rather than just upgrading 1 and assisting it up the wazoo.

I cant think of anything good tho. Has anyone else got ideas for this?

If engies were nerfed somehow, it would be more advantageous to upgrade more factories.

the problem is not only engineer assisst. Its also how Experimentals are built way faster than a comparable strong t3 army.

I have devised a solution.

Funk how can you devise a solution if there is no problem?

What geek and I were implying is, there are discussions about some "solutions" to this "problem", but nothing has been "devised" yet. Let's just say that the various opinions of the community are all represented within the group of people responsible for the balance.

I trust people who are less noobish than me to make the actual decision when it comes to that.

I personally would welcome a mechanic that rewards multiple factories over more engineers. (you can get a shitload of engineers for the price of a T3 factory, though)

i think that with a mini buff for higher tiers buildrate should be enough.
actually the only problem in spam engies is in big maps when all start to lag the hell.
but i normally kill my t1 engies.
if we play with 500 limit unit dont have problems, but for example in a setons 4v4 with 1000 cap the game go really slow when all ppl have 500 t1 engies lol

this, i would like to see more time between tech 3 units and experimental, right now it's always better to go for exp....

There is no way to go straight to exp from T2 in an evenly matched game. It is simply impossible.
