If you pay attention you shouldnt lose any units to surgebomb, especially not VXs that can just ump
yes, cuz watching VX's 24/7 is definitely a good way to win games. especially that jumping business with apollos hanging around, very effective way to delay their death by about 3 seconds
Timebomb & surgi is stupid, skilless 1 click death, and there's simply nothing you can say to defend it.
true, I couldv'e avoided it, but 3 seconds isn't a great window to work in (I saw it happen on screen, but as I wasn't there when he first launched it, so it was too late to do anything)
Seems that king oni & yuriko is a better tech then shoguns. Shoguns are near impossible to defend from cryo's because even with PDD tengu get killed by apollo fairly hard. King oni and yuriko can at least be protected by a bunch of vx's and own basically all allied units. These EvA games that go into lategame will be MUCH easier for emp with the current patch notes though, less hp on cryo, better king oni, better tsunami, surgi+timebomb gone or very late and harder to tech for tanya drop.
Thought the Empire could of done a better job of harrassing at start, you lost the 2 tengu's in water to surge strike, I think maybe if you'd of seen that and moved them you could of gone on and killed another 2 miners (he didn't even have airfield up at that point)
But GG, well played both. Seems like the empire had map control throughout the game. I think maybe teching and wasting so much money on those shoguns cost you ><
I don't know why you didn't at least build 1 seawing to go along with your shoguns?
Honestly even 1 can totally stop any amount of crycopters from freezing it just because once the first delayed emerging is over it immidiatly submerges and emerges when you move it as long as there are targets in range so your seawing can dodge vindy bombs or any units targeting you and immidiatly fire back.
Shogun+Seawings = Dead Vindicators,Crycopters,Apollo's.
Only he thing he could have done was tech up again and go for centurybomber tanya drop in which case having a yuriko in your base totally counters that and if that you could have used skywings or he could have just spammed riptides which the shogun itself can handle pretty well. =/
