Balance

Been a while since posting anything on here. Couple of things;

1. Not sure of this one but Radar is blocked by line of sight land although terraforming walls don't block the signal (minor point).

2. As a way of balancing early game could there be a period where singus/detris cannot be made. The amount of games that are lost when a high ELO player sits at back JUST making singus (ecoing) are plentiful.
This is not to say it doesn't work - just a 1800+ ELO player just making singus would better serve on the front line and a 1400 ELO player spam singus at the back.
This would also encourage more fighting at the front - people could still build fusions but obviously this is not as rewarding.

High elo <=> player wins often => maybe ecoing isn't as bad as you think

Oh thanks for telling me #1. Gonna loose less radars now! \o/

He plays high-risk, high-reward strategies. His results are less related to his skill, and more related to the general randomness you get from the large team pub games.

I.E. early superfusion is very punishable if the other team scouts and coordinates, but many times will not do either

In 10v10+s the average player skill is low enough that some people just randomly spam useless Pylons everywhere, so suddenly you don't have to bother about the grid anymore when rushing Singus.

i think you are confusing armfus, armgeo and cafus

armfus only gives 35, nothing extreme here :P

No, not really. The hidden point is that "superfusion" is "cafus" because the unitname means "core advanced fusion". So neither armfus (fusion) nor armgeo (moho geothermal) are superfusion!

Since when does Fusion cost 4000m (or - the horror! - Singularity 1000m)?

Fusiolarity or Singlusion? im confusioned.

I usually build four+ fusions on metal heavy maps (eg CCR) when I want to OD. That's because I don't like building Singus inside the build range of my factories' caretaker farm.
