Faction selection

[gogbe]

I just need someone to tell me what faction is best for air, ground, navy, etc......

[ColonelSheppard]

Aeon - micro, much knowledge of units required, very good air, very hard to play navy
Cybran - paper ACU but best allround, easy to use strong t2 navy, stealth
UEF - garbage air, hard to play navy but overall strongest, good landlate
Sera - least units, mostly one good unit per techlevel that you have to abuse as much as possible, easy to play navy

in other words start with Cybran or Seraphim as a beginner

I will talk about the cybran because this is the faction i know the most about.

T1 air is really really relentless.... the jester (when use wisely) can put a lot shit in the planning to other player...

T3 bomber dont really have good punch vs shield but you can use the stealth ablitliy and the large radius to target soft spot.

If you can win air with the cybran you got a large area of gunship to rainning hell on the battle field:T1 to T4

mantis can assist building when needed

mobile t2 stealh can be use with creativity can be useful.

T2 navy...... how to not fall in love with it.....

shield... cheap but weak (ep1) you have to upgrade it to ep3 to begin to match the other t2 shield.

tml and mml are great. destroy the cruise missile and you got 3 more to destroy but they are weaker can overload tmd (exept aeon)

t3 mobile arty: the trebuchet.... seeing those unit pound the battlefield is almost romantic. The accuracy is simply shit but the blast of radius!!!

monkey lord is a good early exp unit

The hive can put on steroid manufacture of war...

Telesnipe ( teleport with the laser) can blow away a deatly faith...

For UEF

most unit are simply average exept the percy (he can make some exp look bad...)

the better way (what i find) to play this faction his to have defence line, siege and a counter strike logic to exploit the battlefield. This is my style to playing the uef faction... Here a hint what i mean. I am in the front line so i build a strong point (shield, few pd, aa, tmd and some unit) the 2 others player go to a defence logic (shield and other stuff) . I go to t3 make 3 ravagers and pop up the def line. When the line his broken i fallow with my ground unit and engy. I reclaim their ruin base and build another fire base.... so i wash, i rince and i repeat.

I know some better player have other style for this faction but for me: i had good result with this strat
