So I started playing again for the first time in years last week and we had a lan, played for a couple days straight. Problem lies in one of my friends always turtles and ramps out a monkeylord then sneaks it in my base to kill my ACU. Perhaps my strat in general is flawed, I usually have 2 factories early spamming t1 then build more and upgrade to t2 spam some more then roll over to t3 spam some more. When he walked his spider bot in I had like 20 or so of the siege assult bots but they just got zapped by the lazer and then he hit my ACU and I'm dead. I didn't really have much defence though. Will t3 PD hold it off? or should I get like a squadron of air specifically to nail it, seems like its his only play. I can definitely beat him down by just rushing but the guys I play with hate that.
Is there an optimum build order to ramp to tech 4 fastest? cause I feel like my eco is behind his and I can't get out a tech4 in time to fight his, but it might just be cause I spend the game building armies and attacking while he sits back and waits.
