Share your best build order

[SeraphimLeftNut]

Do you know a build order that works well on a particular map?

You probably want to keep it classified, but someone will probably watch your replay, copy it and post it in this thred.

Post a sandbox replay with a short explanation of what makes this build order special and what are the strengths and weaknesses.

Definition of build order:

1. Sequence of build commands for ACU
2. Sequence of units out of the first factory
3. Orders for first few engineers, scouts, labs and tanks.

When you are playing your build order in the sandbox mode, don't forget to make tanks and scouts like you would in a regular game. Build orders with first 5 engineers are probably not good, unless it is thermo or setons.

The best build orders will be chosen and put into a tutorial video.

Limit one build order per person, choose the best one and do a good job with it.

PS. If people don't post I will go on a stealing rampage for this video. I know who the players are to go to for best build orders.

Replay shows ideal first 5 minutes of gameplay.

This allows you to get a fast t2 mex, quick air, and decent protection for your engies.

The second replay shows a game where this build is used successfully.

by Demon_arm & Sheppard
(Crazed claimed the idea but i dunno about that and i actually dont care, i will always see demon as the creator)


Commander:
1x FAC (distant masspoint)
2x PGEN
1x MASS (near masspoint)
1x MASS (masspoint near HC)
1x SUPPORT HC
1x AIR-FAC
1x Running towards mid, run through wrecks, keep out of vision range from the enemy commander that is probably reclaiming the wrecks in the middle
1x Reclaim Hydro if you are not under heavy fire
1x make your way to the evacuation point, best point is one of the side on the hill where your enemy spawnd but you can evacuate on any position with no PD

1st FAC
3 x ENGY
1 x SCOUT
1x TANK
1x ENGY
3x TANK +SCOUT
1x ENGY
10x LAB
5x ENGY
Tanks or depending on casulties engys or scouts

1st ENGY
2 x MASS
MANUAL RECLAIM (on all rocks in the closest rockfield)
3x MASS (bottom masspoints)
RECLAIM (along the mid-hill)
(in the unlikely case that it will survive this all, support airfac)

2nd ENGY
1x SUPPORT HYDRO
MANUAL RECLAIM (rocks in the middle where you would normally go with COM)
1x MASS (masspoint behind the reclaimfield)
SUPPORT AIR-FAC

AIR-FAC:
1x T2 Upgrade
1x Transport
5 x GUNSHIP (load gunships with LABs if you are UEF)
depending on situation, gunships, bombers, ints, scouts

3rd & 4th ENGY
1 x HYDRO
3 x PGEN
SUPPORT AIR-FAC (until 90% finished)
2 x PGEN
SUPPORT AIR-FAC
after 3rd Gunship
2 x GEN
SUPPORT AIR-FAC

Futher ENGYS
depends on situation, expand as far as possible, support airfac/build landfacs/reclaim usual stuff

1st TANK & SCOUT
protect reclaim engy, intercept possible scouts as best as possible

2nd SCOUT
secure top side, so that you have time to react to runby's

2nd & 3rd TANK
move with first scout and tank to bottom and try to raid something/protect bot

other tanks stay in base or close to it

Transport
PICK UP ACU
BRING IT TO SAVE LOCATION
OR
USE IT TO MOVE AROUND ON THE MAP

Flaws:
- can be countered by overcharge
- dmg is easily miscalculated, you will leave the enemy base with under 2000hp
- you opponent will hate you
- you will get flamed
- you probably cant write gg without your enemy flaming you even more

Pros:
- bottom side will probably be a raid win
- if your enemy doesnt see the commander or reacts the wrong way he is fucked beyond rescue
- something different, not casual

Things that can help:

The link at the end got me

On the other hand, I watched the replay and I don't get it... What's special, the suicidal idiot run with your ACU? What does that achieve?

[Nombringer]

Im sorry. But this song is so much better for this BO...

My "starting" build order normally only last until I give the wrong unit a move order, or forget to set a factory on repeat. That fun moment at the 5 min mark that you realize you have no units left and nothing building.

[ColonelSheppard]

com'on more buildorders pls

[D4E_Omit]

Setons Back (For noobs who think back is a easy job! LEARN YO BACK IM TIRED OF LOSING BECAUSE OF 25MIN ASF!)

Acu:

Land Factory
Pgen x2
Mex x3
Walk to the hydro and assist it
Pgen x4
Air Factory
Land Factory x2
Pgen x6
At this moment the front mass will be flowing in so get to upgrading!

Do never ever upgrade your acu to t2 to make t2 Pgens, get an engi and get Ras upgrade!

Land Factory:

ENGIES ENGIES MORE ENGIES! On attack move with reclaimation!

Engi #1:

Mex (The one you skipped with acu!)
Hydro
Mexes Behind the hydro
Reclaim

Engi #2:

Assist ACU

Engi #3:

Grab the 3 mexes down to beach side.

Engi #4:

Grab your remaining mexes

Other engies:

Keep them on reclaim untill you got Resource allocation and 6 t2 mexes atleast.

At 11 Min mark, be sure to have a good enough eco and let the engies get a T3 Air to spam T3 Air superiority fighters (ASF)




Try help the front with some t2 inties/ fighterbombers if possible. Just be sure to not get too much of those and make T3 air.

Build order not perfect, just for a noob startup!

Thanks to Napalm and Sheppard for their replay posts, I will definitely include those.
If you post a build order, please play it out in sandbox and post it, in exactly the way you imagine it being played.
Looks like people want to keep things classified. I will begin stealing BO's. Here are some I might steal from : 973990, 971163. If you have comments about this BO, please post them here.
If you see good BO's in some replay, post the replay here, with some comments about it.
