The cancer was stronk in this game.



PoV Highlights

not weaker then zenith for its cost

Yeah, but there was a defensive emplacement blocking it fron firing. That porc was ridiculous though. It ate at least 8 emps.

its true how to reasonabl;y counter such super weapon porc?..with shockley shield, There is not way to stop this once its running...

only thing is can think of is :

somehow to seccretley rush your own super weapon, althogh it probably dies cuz not enough time to porc it to the same degree

sumhow sneak a dets close enough to it, do death bomb, unlikely.

Nuke saturation or silo saturation

All this take time and expense, not really a counter..

I think funnel shield should allow a second shockely through, so even if 2 funnels, u can get through it with a full silo of shockleys (4)?.. im not sure how many it blocks atm

You can argue that you allowed such a porced super weapon eventuate, but on a map like that unless you dominate, a player from scratch determined to build such a fortess will most likely have time.

IIRC Dyth's argument wrt shockley-busting shield was that you need less cost in Shockleys to drain it to penetrable levels than the Funnelwebs cost.

For one Funnelweb you easily afford 1 silo (1200) and 3 shockleys (1500) for a total of 2700 - some change left over.

Additionally, you're supposed to be able to drain the shields by preventing their recharge.

Starlight should do wonderfully for that, but also a Zenith's peak burst damage is 600 000, that's 20 Funnelwebs worth of shielding (and two Zeniths worth of metal).

So what your saying is if you have an economic lead you can spam funnelwebs for supper defence and the energy can never field a counter?
