Hmm...
patrician needs to work on his porc-pushing. There's no point using two Funnelwebs to start a Desolator when you have 12m/s, it'll be blown up long before it's finished. Just wait until you've got 1400 metal in the bank, then build it in 20 seconds between Merlin shots.

imo area cloak leads to stalemates because people can't see that the enemy has nothing but arti and screening and even a modest assault will overrun them.

I want to see more Shockley in lobsterpots. :/
