Still, as I have been saying, T2 artillery fucking owns.

The thing that interested me the most in this replay was how unconquerable went the entire game with only 2 land facs and 1 air fac. One of the land facs was constantly pumping out T1 engineers which assisted the other two factories. By the end there were too many engineers to count. I had never seen this done before but I will surely try it myself. In late game allot of my time is wasted managing my factories, and this seems like a good solution to simplify things. It also saves you allot of resources by not building many higher tier factories later on.

Of course there is a limit to how fast a single land factory can produce due to the time it takes to unload each unit. I also kept hoping to see TheLittleOne send a T3 mobile artillery, which could have wiped out a good amount of the T1 engineers and temporarily crippled Unconq’s unit production.

For one, there was plenty of action at all three tech levels, with T1 in fact being the least utilized. This is a good indication that the balance changes over the last few patches have really helped overall gameplay.

I don’t think there being nearly zero T1 combat on a 5×5 map is indicative of a good balance. T1 has become useful only for engineers as far as T1 ground units are concerned (and maybe artillery on certain maps). Is that balanced? I don’t think so. It might be better than it was, but it’s not ideal.

Interestingly, i think LittleOne had enough Harbs to wipe out the early arty base, but he chose to retreat. end result: unconquerable built more, and his base got hammered into red dust.
