RandomX: Linked moho to adv geo. Slightly reworded the timing/trajectories section to be more readable by people without a PhD.

RandomX: Added some text about actually firing. This can be non-intuitive to a newcomer. Also, the shielded cerb video is gone from YT.

 Account for the additional flight time of those missiles. Firing them at the same time as low-trajectory ones will result in Inferno or Eos reaching the target before the defenses are stunned or the terrain is smoothed.

+Fire one Eos, wait 2 seconds for shields to try to equalize their charge, then fire other 2 Eoses. For a cheaper combination replace the first Eos with a Zeno, but you must wait longer for the Zeno's higher trajectory and slower flight speed.

 == Damage ==
-Damage can be dealt to single structures or over large areas. The [[Eos]] does 3500 damage within a small blast radius. Aim for spots where multiple buildings touch to apply this damage to more than one building. If there are bigger clusters of structures, the [[Inferno]] can be used. It has a much bigger area of effect.

It has a much bigger area of effect.
 == Shields and Terraform ==
-Every missile except the [[Shockley]] will be stopped by full shields. If the shields are slightly below full charge, the [[Eos]] can pass through them as well. Shields can be circumvented by either stunning or weakening them before firing the remaining missiles. For a successful stun, first scout all [[Aegis]]es and then use Shockleys to stun them. The Shockley has a small <abbr title="area of effect">AOE</abbr>. Multiple stuns might be needed to deactivate all shields if they are spread out. Alternatively, an Eos can be used to weaken all shields in a shield network. After firing one Eos, any following Eos will pass freely through the shields if the shields get a few seconds to equalize their charge.

-Firing multiple in quick succession is often preferable to firing them simultaneously. Repair is compensated by a small extra damage over the stated values. When the enemy has multiple shields, a small delay between missiles ensures that the damage is spread over all shields. This way, the other shields can't block the remaining missiles as they would if the missiles were fired simultaneously.
