You can also have fun with 2 ACU's with gun upgrade, E storage and some shields.

The monkeylord will run away untill he's in PD cover. All the T3.5 bots move very slow. Also, 16 Bricks is more than a Monkeylord in mass. And the monkeylord has the build time of only ~2.5 bricks...

One T4 bomber can kill a huge amount of bricks in one pass, but will need 4+ passes to kill a monkey.

Try doing this: send the equivalent mass in t3 tanks against an exprimental and see the result(try 1 monkeylord versus 16 percivals for hillarious results). Send 100 mantis against 5 harbingers. No further explanation is needed.

galactic colossus and T4 veterency is over powered

Anyone else agree with me that (a) the GC's arm weapon is overpowered vs T3 tanks/bots and (b) that T4 veterency is overpowered?

The veterency makes a GC, Monkeylord or Ythotha hard to counter with non-experimental land forces, and make the intuitive tactic of wearing an experimental down by throwing a lot of small units at it counter-productive. Additionally T3 tanks are a ridiculous waste of mass vs a GC compared to T1 or T2 units (ignoring veterency or even considering it). Agree? Veterency is almost as bad on FA's experimentals as it was on TA's long range artillery. Make it do something else or just be a lot less effective.

Rationale: this makes massing tanks worse than useless vs what they should arguably be at least moderately effective against: a big land unit.
