It's fast, for sure. But I don't think that this method will work very well, since as you mentioned at the end, it was a forward position. Normally when I play this map, the 2 flex (your position) will support the frontline to ensure it doesn't collapse. Hence, without your support (especially with the geothermal power advantage), I'm not surprise to see frontline struggling. I think if you modify the strat to do T2 spam instead, you will be able to accomplish more than aiming for T3.

use your cammander to help the front at least, 1 construction turret and a bot is 280 bp, almost the commander 300 bp, some more ltts and dguns in defence of that gauntlet would tie the front, 1 minute of a afus late is better then give to the enemy that 4x 4.8 metal extractors of the middle

Love the BAR coverage

You dont see content like this for BAR. You (and some others) bought it to AOE/AOM - and I enjoyed my flawed executions of those builds. This type of tight build content is completely unique for BAR going by my KZread searches. Please, please, carry on. I am going to get back into this game, too old to git gud, but hope to meet you ingame.

Man the amount of times that Geo Thermal Power Vents come in clutch, am I right?? or am I right??

9:50 If you're Armada you can make the Prude geothermal generator that still gives excellent cost efficiency for basically no explosion compared to the regular T2 geothermal. Or if you're Cortex you might as well plop a Cerberus for when your eco is far enough ahead at 3rd or 4th AFus

This build would probably be a bit better if you made a second t2 builder to share, you could sell it so you don't lose resources only a bit of time since your t2 bot lab has to be up longer, but frankly front line really needs that eco boost

That is somehow a fools idea, because the moment you give them T2 they will start to build the T2 mex and adv solar to support it, so they dont have any units and front will fall. The big problem with guides is that people with bad understanding of the game "gain knowledge" that they can copy but dont really understand. What you said will only work if the enemy doesnt attack and nothing happens at the frontline.... otherwise giving out T2 has a very good change of losing you the game, while this build here also dies to any aggression that comes from the side. Part of me thinks "ok, you help people get a heads start" but the other part of me thinks "teaching noobs things they dont understand leads to inflated egos" and BOY do we have a lot of people that use one stupid build and the moment they have to play another role or a enemy unit touches their "dont attack me then i'm OP" build they play like 5TS while the system thinks they are 20-25TS.... and this is one of the reasons why 8v8 in lobbys that are not 20+ are a big mess.

@@DreaMeRHoLic On SUCH a little front with two player giving a T2 to one isn't going to change much. Front mostly fall when T2 unit from the backlane get into play or even sea pressure. As for level descripency it's early in the life cycle of the game so it isn't really settled and skill is low but i can assure you that a guy that at least DO SOMETHING at some point is gonna be on the top because so many just eco really poorly and eco some more spend a lot of ressource on city building like wall on the backline and then lose all and eco some more all the while not responding to communicating and never "taking their foot of the pedal"

Great video, bit of feedback on your build. Consider placing the anti-N slightly north of your base in your build order. This way, you can potentially provide coverage for both front players. Often, it takes them longer to establish such defenses. :)

Early late game around 25-30 mins when you have more energy production you can reclaim the geo and make it into the safe geo (prude) armada only. It creates 750 energy insteadof 1.1k but isnt hazardous so it dosent explode in a huge area

With a strong front and if the enemy doesn't rush mid this seems really possible. If you do get interrupted it's still going to be up pretty quick. Also need to hope the East water player holds mid to late as well or you might get shelled from the shore.

30:30 "everyone had 50 years warning" hahahahahhahaha

Drongo OCD builds are here, love it :)

drongo nuked me doing this lol

I kinda disagree that you need to spread out your construction turrets. Spreading them out means travel time and space restrictions. It will probably slow down your build and will still just result in you taking damage anyway. You had a lot of income, I think you could've dropped 1 or 2 T2 flak after your first AFUS and go T2 lab to make defensive units instead of T3. That would give you more units since T2 lab is a lot cheaper than T3 lab, allow you to pump defending units faster too, and also cover your lack of AA. In this game, reds attack comes a bit quick, so maybe that wouldn't have worked in time, but T2 flak after AFUS should always be a priority, same as antinuke. After you stabilize, you can reclaim your T2 lab, leave your t2 units to defend the front or the coast from raids, and then still go T3 which will surprise your enemy because you wouldve hidden your T3 intentions from the air raiders. Im actually surprised the enemy in this game was caught off guard, red shouldve noticed your T3 lab and marauder being constructed, as well as your AFUS when he flew over your base. When the T3 unit detected announcement comes up, the entire enemy team should have known you were going for a marauder rush, they have you completed scouted. I personally always get at least 1 T2 flak if I'm an eco player. I think of it as "saving my progress" in the game against air raids and saving after you get major eco up like an AFUS feels satisfying. Same with antinuke, I think of it as saving my progress.

nice

Armada has acces to SAFE advanced energy ;) no need to reclaim

how do you cycle your com from the blueprint to boost

hold space bar and right click, do not hold shift at the same time, only space bar.

I'm confused - what you said about building energy converters reactively doesn't sound right to me. You said they'll drain your stock pile, but isn't one of the little sliders on your energy bar specifically for controlling this? Seems to me you can build the converters have them ready to convert the instant you have excess energy from your geo.

In a team game overflowing for a short period of time is not a problem. Building the converter upfront delays the power upgrade. So i get power up first, share a bit with the team while getting the converter online, then scale buildpower and repeat.

Build a few rez bots, eat trees for E, ????, Profit (haha as im writing this he said "..if wind drops to 1 we are buggered" xD)

Ah crap, just got nuked back to the stone age

very good for 22 ts xD

Would have been an easy win with a competent frontline.

Nah many players in his flex position push in the frontline as well. So in the worst case it's a 4v2 and they start pushing the AFUS even before it's online.

Bro, delete this!

people who do this should stay in single player
