Greetings, all! Just downloaded the beta last night; played a couple of games with a friend. My experience, thus far, has been excellent -- the game looks fantastic and plays well, and we only had one bug creep in (my friend's camera locked up at one point). Though I feel the UI could use a little work, I have full confidence in the developers. With that introduction out of the way, I have questions. How do bots compare to tanks? What are their strengths and weaknesses? Roughly how many mexes and power plants are necessary to support one factory or engineer? Is there an optimum ratio of T1 factories to T2 factories? How should one go about rolling out advanced economy structures? As I understand it, you have to killed the old extractors to put new ones in their place. Thanks in advance!
You can build new metal extractors over old ones. Bots are generally faster, weaker and cost less, tanks stronger and cost more.
You can build t2 in the place of t1 metal detractors without destroying them now as far as I can see. Bots are good when you keep them moving. T2 tanks, air and naval used to be game enders even without nukes but now the strategy has become more complex. By the way - If you want a team/clan to join send me a private message.
