A few hidden, terraformed singus are something that is nigh impossible to kill with long-range weapons, impossible to scout if they are built underwater (because Swift has no sonar...), and enable a swarm of Athenas - which themselves are cloaked, extremely fast, radar-invisible, regenerating targets, thus also completely immune to long-range weapons - to rez everything very quickly, even after a nuke hits the spot repeatedly.

Sure, the amount of Athenas you need to do this costs like a Paladin. But a Paladin is interactive: it has to take risk to make cost, and this risk features very effective Paladin counters. Athena does its job behind the lines, and there are no efficient ways to kill a Paladin worth of Athenas which are protected by the enemy's entire everything.

When
more
than
one
player
uses
this,
the
result
is
[url=http://zero-k.
info/Battles/Detail/603312]three
and
a
half
hour
long
games[/url]
where
the
only
way
to
win
is
to
hope
the
other
guy
gives
in
to
hunger
and
exhaustion
first.

Oh
and
also
if
you
kill
only
a
half
of
the
Athena-ball,
the
survivors
will
just
rez
their
fallen
sisters.

When do you actually want to make Athenas
