Subject: Re: Landing site buildout
nice topic
Well, what buildout strategies I use and what I take planetside depends very often on the opponents I get.
If I know that I have some time to build up my base before an enemy attacks, I know I can play very relaxed.
2 engineers are very important imo, one is never enough. Its different with a constructor, 2 are nice but luxuriously too. One scout for some scan range and a pimped assault gun. Assault guns can be "healthy" for fast defense and offense action that might occur, I just love them.
at times...even two surveyors ;D good for fast expanding ...anyway

Its a bit different with an small map and a very aggresive opponent. I buy supply trucks and fill them up max to gain a small speed advanteges in the first rounds. 2 engineers but only one constructior with a fast production goal.

The first thing I do after the landing is enlarging the base and get a better view of the territory, means a radar, maybe some low level defense. Surveying for more resources and build some mines fast (high priority) or you get in trouble soon with not enough raw material etc.
A Heavy Vehicle Plant or something like that are always behind in my strategy, they have a minor priority.
I like to play "Von griffin" cause of the +2 experience in taking units from the enemy.
oh and one thing...land mines are very effective and I like to place them randomly at the beginning.

yeah thats the way I used to play, have to do it again soon against human opponets, cause its alot different.
;D
