3 I disagree with this, not just because its really easy to do but because it also removes all back and forth (read: fun) from the midgame on maps with a chokepoint. 3 I disagree with this, not just because its really easy to do but because it also removes all back and forth (read: fun) from the midgame on maps with a chokepoint.

5 1200m is very cheap - and its extremely cost effective. One terraformed DDM will easily make cost even outcosted by assaults 3:1. 5 1200m is very cheap - and its extremely cost effective. One terraformed DDM will easily make cost even outcosted by assaults 3:1.

9 Countering heavy porc by building heavier porc doesn't promote dynamic games though. 9 Countering heavy porc by building heavier porc doesn't promote dynamic games though.

13 Terra mostly nullifies this, and its trivial to screen. If you muck it up your 2000m unit implodes and DDM makes cost 1.5x. 13 Terra mostly nullifies this, and its trivial to screen. If you muck it up your 2000m unit implodes and DDM makes cost 1.5x.

20 Spending 3x its cost on a means that removes it (slowly, if repaired) does not really count as a counter. 20 Spending 3x its cost on a means that removes it (slowly, if repaired) does not really count as a counter.

24 imo this is the only reliable solution, and it requires a 2000m investment. 24 imo this is the only reliable solution, and it requires a 2000m investment.

28 I dislike it because it prolongs games and nullifies army advantage on some maps. Eg. Through good play team A might gain the middle of Titan V2 with 50% greater army value. Team B throw up a terra'd DDM - Team A now need to make an investment of time and cost specifically to remove it because it would annihilate their existing units, during which Team B easily recover. 28 I dislike it because it prolongs games and nullifies army advantage on some maps.
