Wall

afaik terraforming replaced walls ages ago, when you placed terraforming-blocks like walls. They even had the same footprint as wall elements if i remember right

Yeah nobody uses terraforming anymore just because it is under 'Special'. Out of sight out of mind.

I know where it is and i still struggle to use it, though i would normally put llt on hills or build walls in front of hlt etc

Terraform is much too powerful if people are able to dedicate just 10 apm to it. It can easily create access to enemy bases - you are able to just walk up a ramp far off any enemy defense when they're on a hill, it's just that people can't be bothered. I'd be using terraform every game if it was supported by gestures. I'd be happy if the upper right submenu was filled with terraform buttons. If anybody tells me how to do that, I'll even do it myself. :)

I don't understand why TerraFrom Marks can't be handled like structures ...

But I would really apprecate a more simple way to place a 2x2, 3x3 or a 4x4 block - because the isometric it's really hard to get the right size in one of both direction.

It's also hard to decide, witch height we need to protect a Stardust from different units like a Glaive only - or even Bandits...

Then ppls would change the altitude of LLTs and Defenders more often, so that they can't be destroyed by early raids.

A 2x2 or 3x3 Glaive/Bandit protector TerraMark would be nice to solve this problem ;)

I think the most ppls dislike walls due to laggs and because nobody knows how large it have to be to disallow specific units to pass.

Even with our tutorial too much ppls doesn't even know about the different pathing of vehicles or that hovers are vehicles.

Also TerraForm DON'T block Spiders - walls do block them.
I think that's the main reason to re-add "Spider blockers".

yes, but razor's kiss has a 3x3 footprint and cost 280/3 = 63 metal instead of 10 or 20 for each "block".

I use solar walls quite often you will be suprised how many raiders a llt can down when there are some solars as protection in front of it. Then ofc after that you can ress them hehe.

So far i found that llt + solars is a quite tough nut to break and it covers alot more area than just llt's. On top of that they make E and are cheap. Through like any porc it is countered by arti through it doesnt fall that easily to it.

I use teraform when they use penetrators or anihilators against me. It works wonderfully vs them. I just putted my tremor behind a teraform wall and they just couldnt kill it. Through it is less effective (but still works very good) vs plasma artilery since their projectiles arc. All the raiders they send to me where killed and ressed so i ended up with a really big army at minimal costs.

oh and 3x3 = 9 blocks not 3

You need an arcing EMG and a cheap high trajectory unit for real trench warfare.


The problem about digging trenches is that while it is good at blocking vehicles, and does offer protection for bots against arty, is that trenches, like fixed defences, don't move.

You need something to make sure enemies don't go around it (arcing EMG to shoot out of trench and maintain cover), and be able to shell enemy territory from your trench (cheap high trajectory).

hmm wolverine + teraform sounds like a fun strategy to try out

Wall + tremor so they cant snipe your tremor that easily. Also when you see some nab going air make 4 hacksaws and watch the slaughter XD (they killed like 20-30 times their metal lol).
