This
game,
I
had
hovers
and
my
opponent
had
rovers.
I
used
halberds
to
chase
down
his
badgers.
And
they
did
usually
catch
the
badgers,
but
they
usually
died
in
the
process.
While
it
was
almost
all
I
could
do
to
make
enough
halberds
to
catch
his
badgers,
he
somehow
had
enough
metal
to
constantly
build
more
badgers
and
more
unbreakable
defenses
closer
and
closer
to
me.

The halberds did usually catch the badgers, but they often died in the process. While it was almost all I could do to make enough halberds to catch his badgers, he somehow had enough metal to constantly build more badgers and more unbreakable defenses closer and closer to me.

Even though I had more units and more map presence, and both my Value Killed and my Army Value charts were ahead most of the game, I had no way to stop his tower + badger push.

I kept winning the exchanges but could never get enough breathing room to kill his defenses. I tried making a few Lances, but they are slow and fragile and died fairly quickly to the badgers. Eventually I tried an air switch with some likhos, and they were getting some damage done, but by that point he had built his static defenses too close to my base, allowing his badgers to safely shell it. With no way to break his towers I resigned. In fact I had greater army value at the time I resigned, due to my Likhos, but I just didn't see any way to regain the territory I had lost.

Perhaps if I did a tank switch instead of an air switch, I could have made minotaurs which could have killed his defenses. In hindsight maybe that would have been better. However once I switched to making minotaurs while he's still on badgers, he'd be whittling down my minotaurs from afar while I would not have any more halberds to stop that.

How to stop badgers?
