Use Imp and some simbase. Knight and Reaver. Be efficient against the 250 cost melee raider.

This is a weird game to draw conclusions from because neither player attempted to counter Scythes. They were simply spamming Scythes at each other as fast as they could. The player who used their Scythes better, especially early, won. This game can only tell us that both players felt the need to make Scythes, not that they are OP.

The game is over quite early, economically, so the 3k balls of Scythes that run over 400 metal in defenses aren't worth much data.

Early on, dyth68 trades one Scythe for 240 metal in infrastructure and uses the distraction to pick of a constructor and mexes with some Glaives. Later he trades a Scythe for a Lotus and a Glaive. During this time neatep could punish dyth68 with some raiding but does not. Later, neatep sends a Scythe but loses it to a lone Lotus.

The main difference between the players is that neatep did not apply any Glaive pressure, which let dyth68 naked expand and be in a good spot for an economic victory by around 7:00
