Dirt bag spam

It's getting silly, there's now regularly 2-3 players doing nothing but spamming dirt bags with retreat order when not at 100% health for most of the game.

I don't like it.

Scythe sound sounds like a bug that needs fixing. :)

KovirWyttcliff it makes everyone lag from constant terraform and the sheer unit volume while very slowly feeding enemy metal.

Well, as much as i dislike dirtbag spam, i got to admit that it is actually usefull.

I find that dbag spam just allows your bandits to kill so much more while pushing your opponent constantly back when there is not enough porc.

Also they leave no reclaim to your enemy.

So it is a pretty good combi tactic with bandit spam, even if its just to distract enemy raider fire.

They ruin the terrain so technically dirtbag spam achieves something, the question is if its worth the cost. Every 6 dirtbags could be a thug.

A tanking line of dirtbags gives the bandits a lot more staying power however, at a relatively low extra cost and minimal loss of speed. Although it does require significantly more micro.

Dirtbags also make a good screening unit to catch for snitches. Personally I think they synergize really nicely with the factory. From a micro perspective I generally use autogroups and micro it myself, but you can always make a plate and have it build into circle guard or direction guard at radius. I also lowered the default selection state as well so that I don't accidentally box select them and give them new orders.

Also it seems like I see them on Folsom Dam to wall vehicles, tanks and hovers of the bridge fairly frequently. While it is easy to flatten the terrain with cons it does slow the approach.

I do not see the point of this revival.
