This was a pretty fun game. I decided I was going to go heavy mantis spam early on, and built plenty of engineers so I could identify his strat and target the weakness. He did the typical t1 spam to harbs, but had very little AA/interceptors, so I decided to up the anty by superspamming mantis as a distraction while i built up to take advantage of his weakness (also I already had t3 and was about to start counterspamming siege bots). I won't spoil the ending, but if he had been more careful i'd have lost. You couldn't tell who was going to win until the end!
That was quite the abrupt ending. I haven't played on GPG yet, so I don't believe a review from me would be very good.
It seemed odd to me that they didn't go beyond tech two during the match. Guess I'm going to have to get owned a couple of times before I relise not all games are technology races.
<edit> *snif* I just tried to zoom out on the forum... </edit>

I was just wondering, since you used Dragonflies, weren't those technically t2 gunships, or some kind of a t1/t2 gunship combo? Not really important I guess but it might be a nice thing to argue/flame each other over. Gj anyway, poor ACUs, so weak and vulnerable but if you buff them they become op early game. Maybe make the shield/cloak upgrades drastically cheaper or allow them later on to deploy/integrate into some kind of a command center with a lot of hp/shield/whateva'...

I agree... They need a nerf early game and a boost late game- they get raped by strat bombers and gunships especially.
As for the dragonflies, yeah, i forgot about that. I just call them "ghetto gunships" anyway!
Please review!
