they didn't do anything. In programming you can have a parent class which passes it's properties to it's children classes. In this case car class inherits properties of a siege unit, which gets the bonus from it's nation. It all happened automatically by making it type siege unit.

and if I remember correctly they aren't even affected by supply limit so outnumber them isn't an option either, and I think you can store the cheat in ctrl+v so good luck counter a continuous stream of cobras. Also they are extremely fast so if you bring your army to stop them they just run to the other side of your city and destroy everything there. To stop them you also need to use cheats, if the opponent aren't kind hearted

Cobra cars are in an intense sexual relationship with petards.

The accuracy issue is why I switched to using Alfred the Alpaca. Great damage an area of effect, decently fast attack speed, running speed not quite as good as the Cobra, but plenty of armour.

Man I love your passion for this game. I saw your channel quite a while ago maybe months. There you did an analysis on how the village centre arrow valley can be escaped by going perpendicular to it. The detail man, the detail. Absolute mad lad !

Oh my goodness the outro made me laugh and smile a lot simultaneously, love it!!

it's basically the plot of "Terminator Salvation (4)": an unstoppable enemy, guerrilla warfare, a conversion [ ;D ] and the Towncenter explosion.

So this means we have to wait until April Fool's 2020 for Furious the Monkey Boy unit overview, or Alfred the Alpaca, the Penguins, Sabouteurs or VMDL!?

@25JamesC

5 жыл бұрын

The trick with saboteurs is to mix them in with regular petards; That way if the host doesn't realize cheats are on they'll think you're just getting lucky shots in and won't know until after you've already whittled their defenses down. As for Alfred the Alpaca: free scouting and best used on maps that have llamas on them, although the attack does tend to give it away.
