I love fighting those people who never tech up and spam T1 through the whole game. Sometime it catches me off guard, but Cybran is the only faction that can do it the fastest. Seems the strategy part of this game maybe lacking or it's just the players. I saw a thread saying T1 is too strong, it maybe right for Cybran. The 1st replay took me off guard, didn't expect that. GG whatever. It was my own fault I guess.
The 2nd replay was numbers versus tech, or 1000+ mantis bots versus me. I'll surely fight any Cybran spammer head on. It's so much we could have did differently, like use transports or T2 PD.
I truly hate the design of the mantis. It's my most hated unit (Jester second). I mean come on it builds the fastest, shoots the fastest, helps you build faster. To be honest I think it should be replaced with a tank like everyone else. Tech 1 "Pulsar" a medium tank with a light electron bolter, 25 DPS, 3.5 speed.
T1 PD builds so slow and artillery defeat it so easily. T1 spam is very annoying. "Use bombers" only slow them down.
