Globex Tactics

I was just wondering if anyone besides me has any Globex tactics, and I do disagree with Gregoryfulton's slow production statement, especially if you're right next to the resource pod.



Deploy dropship near a resource pod, make 2 collectors (they carry more cash than FTA) build milanos, the resst depends on the scenario. When bieng lightly assaulted, build turrets and cheaper, weak units (for bieng assaulted in general). If not, build your radar, get up a cloak, a scrambler, mega-weapons, and repair stations, also imply strategies that are explicit and gained from game experience.

EDIT: You guys thought that necro-posting on threads was extreme, I necro-posted an entire forum section - boo yah!

LOL.

Well actually, you only need 1 Paytos.

Simply land right on top of the resource pod and build a Paytos.

That way you get 800 mineral per every 2-5 seconds.

I suggest building Agomenmons and Bowgerii when being attacked. Use your secondary buffer to build Atanos or Turrets.

Preferably Atanos when you can get them.

Run up 2 Sios and your set.

Agomenmons will on average get a Bowgerii down to ~400-600 armour.

That's the equivalent of about 7 Bowgerii that you're building while your enemy can only pump out the equivalent of 4.

im recently starting to play globex mor and more. i dont play with them much due to thier slow production rate. yes they can kick arse once they get their base running but its time consuming

For lack of remembering names i have a certain tactic with them. im still new to their tech tree but i most stick with primary and secondary tab using entros mostly for crysentos and repairing

Yes the fact that i deploy next to a reosurce pod at the beginning is a fail move late-game only because the pods are spaced apart so large that it will take time to keep my base up and running.

So heres my globex tac:
(depending on unit cap of 25)
1 paytos
2 milanos(starting, yes i know they genrate a huge crap of power and it might seem useless but it provides extra power for turrets which im starting to use now)

silanos(or whatever the radar thing is)

4 forsydon(why? they will die eventually but ive recently noticed that people do rush attacks the forsydons add min protection while i build the rest)

The big laser tanks about 2 or 3

2 entros

another paytos
5 turrets

*thats basically it after this i basically start working on bows and work my way up to crys. like i said im still new to globex so this should improve in the current weeks(yes i am back to playing now and hope to try a few tactics on you all :p anyways any help with this would be helpful)

alright

if your globex vsing people with no digital upgarde auto but if your vsing someone with globex u most likey to lose

Opinion time

Well, I've fought several players, all with the digital upgrade, and I was Globex, and never lost, but my point is:

Centuras PWN!

They're so high only a select few can even target it, and they have such a long range that you can hover it over your base, and it's not a good farseer target because the Globex player will merely build another one and something else, and because Globex gets a lot of resources, even if you kill them, the player can give nearly all of their money to their teammate.

Also, when facing a Centuras:

Stop them from producing a Crysentos, if they do, you will almost certainly lose.

The Crysentos will anhialate anything that comes near it, and 3 apostles takes it down, while they can build another one while you destroy the first, its only weakness is it needs to reload, kill te sentos.

As a Globex player, defend your Milanos, it is the key to success, as it will let you keep going, and they have highly weak armor.

You won't have a resource issue when you reach maximum resources you keep your Payatos away from resource pods, this is how I never run out of credits.

When I did die as globex, I had maximum resources, so my teammate got all of them, but it was a bit late for that.

FTA's most vital mistake:

Crysentos are near unstoppable, if Globex gets a few of them, even your Apostles won't save you, as it's really hard to get 12 Apostles out to kill your opponent's 4 Cryentos, and even after you kill the sentos, they will continue to destroy you until they run out of ammo, and even then they will attract you army to them, letting other forces penetrate your base, and since your units are sitting nice and still while killing a Crysentos, the Centuras gets a few shots at your power supplies, your dropship, you name it, Techton strikes, too.

Lol, for Globex spreading out your structures doesn't hurt...



*Memory of earlier battle*

I have 6 Milanos bunched together with some Etros, 4 Sentos, 2 Atanos, and a Rotiris.


One nuke later. *Howard098 has left the game*

It's really just a matter of super-weapons, though, I mean, GC has the stamato trap, allowing them to cget their super-weapons out even faster than FTA, however, this is to make up for some long build-times.

In my last MP battle (years ago), it took about 5 or 6 apostles to kill me, but that was before I had the digital upgrade, or for that matter, was an SDK tester. - Thanks to my optimal use of the

It was also the only battle I had lost.

Lol... Greg, I do believe I was there for that.

Vah- The stamato trap as it were was supposed to SLOW down units caught in it's wake.

I.E. The name TRAP.

But the Stamato also speeds up friendly units in its field. Slows enemies, speeds up friendlies.

lol

my last multiplayer game was 5 mounths ago

Better than me. My last MP game was over a year ago. I've moved on to greener pastures. But I still occasionally play single-player and sometimes I dabble with the SDK, if only I could solve that annoying UI problem.

lol

ya i played with u in your last game i was the hoster and oh ya i no how to host if u have a modem its easy
