Doxes get killed by tanks, Bombers get killed by a single fighter just guarding the fabbers... I think early game has to be a lot more micro intensive, I almost fall asleep. Or maybe I'm just doing it wrong? idk...
Yeah its about having multiple groups of dox and attacking in multiple places at the same time. Sure one of your dox groups will get killed by tanks without doing anything, but the other one might get 5 mex kills. In the super early game your opponent may not be spread out enough to allow dox harassment so just circle around with dox and be patient.
Tanks are slow, they cant cover everything, attack where they dont. Bombers should attack with fighters for taking damage.
I am actually very curious about how to deal with multiple raid. Every time match with you, I almost want to GG in first 3 mins.
you should get some fighters with your bombers, if you just have 1 air factory more you should be able to harass him with air. Dox just work on opponents that expand in every direction without defending all their engineers
To me that means the heavy raiding shouldn't always start immediately. If your units are just waiting around, your build could be more efficient by building raiders a few seconds later. Depends on the map of course. It's the difference between the ice map on the ladder where you have to raid early and often and the lava map, which has less effective early raiding.
This is true, in theory you could have potentially made more fabbers or w.e and have one more mex instead of a raiding group that can't do anything. However, building a harassment group is not instant so you can use your too-small dox group to get vision and see what direction your opponent is expanding in. Then once he is spread out enough you will have enough dox to start raiding. Additionally, I also run into energy issues if I make too many fabbers early on.
