Random Setons: Aeon front

[stalewee]

If you get stuck with aeon at front in a random setons, how do you protect against early TML?

With the other factions I can just build a couple of TMD at my front line, but with aeon it seems I need to build a TMD right next to each mex, and I can't do it fast enough.

Should I be trying to build 6 or so TMD faster?

Or is my only chance to try and overwhelm my opponent early so that he can't get a launcher in range?

If you're against Cybran, Setons has a small enough choke point that you can easily slowly creep with Aeon's superior shields (better price-performance) and PD (op splash, higher damage), preventing the TML's from coming in range of anything significant.

This of course assumes that you haven't been ruined already or have an inferior eco.

Hmm PD creep and shields is too late. All mexes will be gone by that stage.

ask for t2 engyneer
you can also use mobile shield as an emergency tmd

also you can just push with gun com and mmls, if he will walk away with acu, ot do expencive upgraides, it will be hard for him to keep his fire base, he will try to tml from underwater and you will need to ask ally to make subs/torp bombers, dunno, just random thoughts

Cap your core mex before upgrading the rest.

Cap your core mex before upgrading the rest.

Also useful because chances are good your team will lose one or both of the oceans. Do you upgrade all mexes to T2 at least?

Cap your core mex before upgrading the rest.

Yeah, that sounds reasonable. I'll try that way next time.

I usually upgrade all then cap. The TMLs start flying in around the time the 4th mex is upgraded
