I have not seen any discussions on general strategy yet, but if I have missed them please point me in the right direction. Are there any good resources right now for some basic things: What are the advantages/disadvantages to bots vs. vehicles? Basic build thoughts/strategies I understand its early beta, but any resources people know about where this is being discussed would be helpful. Thanks!
The reason you haven't seen many balance threads is because they are completely pointless, balance is constantly changing with almost every new patch. What are the advantages/disadvantages to bots vs. vehicles? Currently you'll find that bots are slightly stronger than tanks and cheaper as well. They are still more micro-intensive than a tank is though. Basic build thoughts/strategies The strategy in the game is currently a bit simplistic. Early game harass with bots or bombers, move into the midgame with more bots and levelers, late midgame go for nukes and catapults. Then either just steamroll the enemy with units, or get out orbital. After that it becomes pretty much a race who can get the first orbital laser snipe, or enough avengers to hold orbital dominance. And unless you're being pressured, going early advanced factory as soon as you have the eco to support it, so you get this massive eco-boost.
