Chicken Bots

We like to play against chicken bots. 3 of us on the standard chicken map (not sure what it is called). We have been able to beat the easy chicken bot but have not been able to beat the normal chicken bot. Our current strategy we keep being limited too much by metal and cannot build a strong enough defense with enough units to take down the lobbers and later queens.

Does anyone know of any replays of a group playing against normal chicken bots or better and winning? Or at least some strategy guide to accomplish this?

Thanx

Also, not sure what your strategy is but you should kill their burrows. If you leave the burrows alive then the chickens get MUCH harder than otherwise.

You don't need any defenses at all, Bodger. I suggest you scroll through the chicken mission comments, many people keep posting tactics there.

1: plop shieldbot factory
2: make some builders and spam bandits like crazy
3: Capture the mexes and make sure you also got enough E (metal bar empty and E bar full dont try to stall too much). Dont forget radar.
4: While builders are busy use the radar to find roosts and kill them with the bandits.
5: Reclaim the metal you get from killing roosts
6: By now 1th wave should come and your bandits should handle it easily. Dont forget reclaiming everything and keep pounding roosts as this also stop the chickens from getting to the next tech level.
7: Keep expanding your eco by capping all mexes and overdriving them
8: Troll the chickens with your huge economy. Dont forget aa in late game.

Use fight and patrol commands with Bandits, do NOT give them move orders to kill chickens.

N2maniac was kind enough to show us how to play without mexes and it is cool. We still get our butts handed to us by the queen but we are doing better.
