I will never play 1v1, I hate 2v2, people need to stop being wimps and fight it out

Sounds very much like a particular conversation a few of us had a while ago. Oh and contrary to popular belief, you can defend against a leader rush, your post just makes it apparent that you are using faulty methods. No offense intended.

Nice guide man A+++

[Agusta1]

Slingshot is a good tactic to use.

only works in 3v3. you have 2 people back one person up. who just rolls through the tech process. and then steam rolls smaller less developed bases. usually eliminates all of the enemy team though usually one person has this huge amount of points at the end

Great Guide, Thanks Alot!

[adz5000]

Thanks for the anti-rush strategies, cos rushers own me all the time.

When you get three, you should have your team help.

Not always. There's usually set locations for crates.

Just wanted to say that this is a very well written and informative guide. I look forward to reading the rest once its complete, well done .

[Covo]

Awesome dude

[telekiller5]

awsome guide, but i gotta disagree with you about vampires, mabye i just suck with anders idk, but when my 20 hawks are attacked by an army of vampires 10-15 hawks are paralyzed or whatever by the vampires and cant fight back. my other 5 cant destroy all the vampires before my trapped hawks explode even with a super cryo, and then my 5 get trapped and i swear at the screen before going back to base to build more

any suggestions?

people self-destruct there base so that you dont get points for it you cant stop this people are not good at sharing
people quit because they suck

People quit because they have lost?

Although not directly related... Most higher-level chess players will resign a game when they see that their opponent has won.

[ALIENwolve]

Have you tried using wraiths against Prophets? It seems to have a natural effectiveness because of the maneuverability. If you keep the wraiths moving, it seems really difficult for the Prophet to cleanse them.

[Munsie]

Two things;

1) You forgot to mention the Brute Chopper under scout vehicles... Maybe Chieftain players will be disappointed they didn't get a ghost?
2) Under the Vulture section you put "fling" instead of "flying".

Otherwise very thorough and solid guide.

Naw, I didn't forget, I just haven't gotten to it yet. The leader units section is missing a few units that I haven't had time to get to yet.

Fixed, thank you for pointing that out.

[Munsie]

Ah alright. Looking forward to future updates. =)

Nice thread man, it is very much appreciated.

Feel kind of awkward doing this, but if anyone is looking for a skirmish partner to practice some of this with before hitting match making, hit me up. I'd really like to learn the ropes a bit before diving back into the wild.

Stop building hawks or build some wolverines.

Bingo.

If you were scouting properly, you would've known your enemy was building air units, so you should have immediately switched to tanks and wolverines.

Figured I would reiterate since Munsie got a reply concerning errors.

[ALIENwolve]

Scout vehicles are a cheap counter for large numbers of jackals. A squad of hogs/ghosts/choppers will eliminate them much quicker than wraiths.

Hi, if they build hawks what kind of types i must build when im using the covenant? i build 20 anti air units (forgot the name) but they keep building units much faster.

Sounds like you need another airbase, and probably more warehouses. Also don't forget to use your "Y" ability on the HAWKS.

The unit is called a Vampire btw.
