    In competitive play, it would be nice if there were some T2 units once in a while.

    The new changes that went out today make this more common! Fabbers now use less energy and energy plants are cheaper, so you can actually get that t2 up in a more reasonable amount of time. Before now, there was definitely a problem. An advanced factory costs the equivalent metal of over 30 bolos and takes a lot of time, so you weren't able to get that t2 out and paying for itself fast enough to hold off the t1 push from the opponent. Now that t2 can go up a little faster, you can throw up a few walls and delay the push long enough to get that advanced factory. It still won't work every time and maybe won't even work most of the time, but yes it can happen!

    I ain't slipping. That video was given to me by someone (can't remember who), I don't record in pixel-vision.

    Don't make me pull out that 100mb gif! I'll do it!

    Moderator: Snipped. That gif was making the page completely unusable.

    I did it!

    It's no secret that I was a big fan of the balance back in the T2 rush days. It needed some work, but I thought it was both great to watch and great to play. King of the Planet 4 (@matizpl vs. @godde) was the pinnacle of that era. Every planet Godde picked was different from the last, and each game played differently because your limited opening eco meant MEX layout was so key and early individual units had much more meaning.

    Game four my favourite of the series.
