Or he thought Matiz was just some random dude I didn't notice the assisting engineers, tbqh. I am sure that if it was actually good then alot of top players would cotton on
It was a good game from Matiz side, but BScreen wasn't a worthy opponent this time. Until very late only built few factories and was actually wasting huge amount of resources... Well done from our Polish friend side, but pretty much screwed from his opponent.
Very effective mantis spam. Though difficult on open palms, I find it far more effective to move the number of factorys in diffrent locations that way you can flank from many sides and have a strategic advantage. Check out my replay CvU. I think with mantis spam the key is to pressure hard, and use that time to expand and secure locations with pd and factorys. I mean, if your producing from all over your opponent cant do much about it untill he figures that out.
I read in a forum post on the gaspowered forums that assisting a TML with engineers makes the missiles up to three times more expensive. Does this work the same way for mantis? How does that compare to the costs you save on building less factories?
