When i hover over someones name they have a list of aliases, wat are they? its ummit to do wid the [] brackets.

i have fun spamming dirt boxes and rendering tanks useless with them. like once i used 4-5 dirt boxs in early game to get a reaper stuck.

as much fun as it is i think its a bit stupid...

u can get a goliath stuck with 5 or so dirt boxs.

atm the only way to counter this is by getting a quake missile(too expensive in early game)

or using cons to flatten the land. and thjere isnt a light veh or heavy veh with a high dps to quickly mow them down like e.g a warrior wud. even so ur tanks wud get stuck anyway becuase the blocks of dirt blocked the way. so ur kinda screwed...

its kinda like terraform, u can raise a line of land by not that much and tanks cant get past.

i dont think tanks and light veh shud be so vulnerable to terraform and boxes of dirt, i mean the mightly goliath getting screwed by a few boxs of dirt does eem quite silly dont u think?

also they block factories which is also stupid as well :P

gollies main cannon can flatten terrain even as the impulse cannon of the leveler.
factories should have a bigger hitbox. there are two problems with the current hitbox:
-if you fire a cruise missle in at the hover plant it probably wont be hit because the missle is fired at the middle of the unit - and there is a hole
-if you terraform the area before the exit of a factory, units cant go far enough that the factory can produce more units. if you have golly in production(80%) you must delete it and build con FIRST. you'll lose a nice amount of time and metal.

the aliases: you can type /rename in lobby chat and give you a new name

Towards killing Dirtbags, there are a few units with high DPS that can kill them in each factory. Banishers, Levelers, Scorchers, and sometimes Kodachis or Panthers all have pretty good DPS. All of them are also reasonably easy to build in early game. Heavy tanks also have a gun on top of their con so you can use that for both leveling and early defense. Also Banisher missiles and Leveler guns can be used to smooth dirtbag terrain. I'm not against perhaps making their shots smooth ground more, but I don't think a new unit is needed for this problem.
