nitrane, did you check out the Newbie guide? You should play the tutorial and 2v1 mission, it's much better to learn the game than chickens. If you don't know what to do, simply copy your ally.

I did chickens on a big map with tons of metal spots once. I expanded like crazy with higly mobile defences (bandit spam that is). In the end i had like 50 berthas teraforming the map. It was one of my best trolls vs the chickens.

Outlaws work also well.

Once flying chickens apper, Copperhead of the heavy tank factory will be best as units, but flaks can also do much to protect you.

I don't suggest Chainsaws ( too expensive early ), but one or two Screamers (et on hold manual fire to fire manually) works great against the chicken queen (if it is flying).

Annihilators do 500 damage per second and good damage/cost + high range (against queen).

Precision bombers work also good against roosts if there are too many ground chickens, but you need one adv. radar and reload pads with repair towers to use them effective.

Does someone know how good brawlers/blackdawns or Sumos( up to 800 damage per second ) are?

Do you use the "move" or "fight" command for your bandits?

fight will allow them to kite, you fight if you press "f" or the fight button and draw a line and hold your right mouse key.

This is a depressing mission. Even if you plan everything right, you get owned by the ai....

I just did this and all i did was making some bandits to defend against the chickens and kill roosts and some cons for capping all the mexes. Then i spammed singularities like crazy and trolled the chickens with 300 metal/sec.

If you are already giving up i cannot imagine how you will deal with life itself.

It doesn't need any single player missions at all. I really should remove chickens, I told everyone. They are plain boring.

Well for queen you need aa :). Vandals (also in the shieldbot fac) will do if you spam them en masse (meaning in the hundreds). But better is to spam razor kisses. Space them out through or the queen will aoe them quickly. If you did your eco right it should be no problem at all.

I did suicide chickens and so did others. Easy is definately doable.

Thanks for your explanation, much is clear now. But no success yet... I have tried another dozen times and still no win. I can get to the flying queen now, but since I spend all my time building "bandits" and running around trying to kill "roosts" I have no time to build up defences. I am pooped out now, I am giving up and will not play Zero-K again. It is clear to me now that this game is still in development, it is very promising but needs many more levels, and perhaps a nice scenario. Perhaps I will come back and take another look in a year or so.

Bandits are a unit in the shieldbot factory. Its a cheap raider with good range and it can kite the first chickens easily with almost zero losses.

The reason you have to kill roost is the following:
-The more roost you kill the slower chickens tech (tech = how fast new species of chickens appear)
-Roost drop metal eggs when killed which you can reclaim

Reclaiming can be done with any constructor (that includes caretakers, your com, athena and all constructors you can build in your factory). You can even tell it to reclaim in a area so you dont have to click 100 times for each egg. Just select a constructor and hover over a egg and notice your mouse changing.

Mexes = metal extractors. You build these on spots with much metal (when you try to build one notice how the map changes). You can overdrive them by connecting them to the energy grid. This way your excess energy will be used to overdrive your mexes pretty much turning energy to metal. Each energy structure has a energy grid (which you can see if you try to build them). Overlapping them will make them connect to each other. This is the reason you see more skilled players making so called wingen power lines to connect their mexes.

Thanks for the advice, I am sure it's useful, except that I don't understand much of it. What are "spam bandits", "roosts", "capping all mexes", "connect them to the E grid", and I cannot forget to "reclaim" because I don't know how. And now that I am asking, I see only 8 missions in the Singleplayer screen. Is that all? Are there more missions hiding somwehere?

Protips:
-Make shieldbot factory
-Spam bandits
-Kill roosts
-Keep capping all mexes and connect them to the E grid. If you dont need more army keep making more energy.
-Dont forget reclaim

I have tried something like 30 times now and have not won even once. I don't know how you guys do it, for me this is most definitely NOT an "easy" mission.

Chicken roosts spawn in places where you dont have los (line of sight). When next wave comes chickens spawn around the roost. The more roosts there are the more chickens will spawn. So they dont spawn somewhere with no reason.

By killing the roosts you not only get some metal from the eggs but you also make the chickens tech slower and they spawn less chickens. This means porcing (defence spam) is not a optimal tactic.

A good starting tactic is making shield bot lab and spam bandits. The bandits got good range for a raider and can easily kite the chickens. If you kill enough roosts they wont tech.
