    Countering dox with turrets or more dox is easy, but i need lots of flak to counter bombers. Fighters do not counter air when there are other fighters protecting the bombers.

    I haven't really played in over a month, give me a break. ;)

    The last time I was really playing with any competitive spirit was before the commander was able to go factory first in vanilla.

    I'll probably be competitive again once I move and get better Internet and a better PC.

    It's not easy. You don't play foerest or Elodea.

    I frown upon Dox spam for quite a lot of reasons. Can I count as two people so I can start a WE HATE DOX fan club?

    I've noticed that the only things I've lost a game to that wasn't....weird.....have been DOX DOX AND MORE DOX.

    So yeah, they have reached the level of gunships in that respect. FYI: Bomber snipes are easy to counter.

    Again, i'm not talking about 1v1 situations. And yes i did play foerest and elodea quite a few times. I could never beat elodea, but i have managed to beat foerest, maybe with a 3:1 ratio. 3 being foerest.

    Oh, I've beaten foerest. I just haven't beat him since the Dox patch.

    And even in FFA's and team games, they are easy to counter. Put one factory on AA, build extra T1 AA if it becomes more problematic than that, and build T2 AA next to your HVTs late game always. Should be second nature by now.

    I think the problem with T2 air- the t2 air units require *massive micro skills* to use well. T1 bombers are somewhat easier if you can mass them up. T2 gunships are quite good as fast response to ground threats but are far too weak against the much cheaper t1 fighter to use in an attacking scenario.

    I was in the very first Riff Raff game (see my status). I've also sent in another one but I don't think it's been casted unless he's posted it in the last 5 minutes.

    I don't even know what KOTP stands for...

    Nope. I don't do tournaments. If and when he casts that second match I sent in you'll see why.

    Latest KOTP video:


    I wrote the music and played in the latter... I certainly wasn't in the former :p

    Lol we're talking two different things... I was talking about the music in the promotion video for the last KOTP- someone (Cwarener maybe) was playing piano :)

    Sorry I was mixing the two together in my head- it was the KOTP vid I was thinking about. Nice work on the music there! :)

    I play a bit of piano myself....
