Subject: Re: Counterstrategy for Missile Launchers
I finished several games early with a scout rush.
This is more a common game guide I may extend a little bit for the manual some time later:
From previous games I can tell you that you'll loose when you turtle up and leave the map to your opponents. It's only a question of time.
When you've been blown of by stationary missile turrets than you did something wrong already. Perhaps you turteled on a small spot and left all the gold to your enemy? In this case it doesn't matter with what he crushed you exactly. It's your job to find out early what strategy your opponent goes for and work against it.
Also don't only react on your opponents moves. Make your own. You can not win with defending only. Understand this and you can win in maxr. (Once my base was blown in bits. While keeping my opponent busy shooting my units I secretly build up a new base out of his range on the water with a lot of submarines and stuff. Guess his face when he thought he finished me when I returned with a bunch of good bombers out of nowhere :D)
BTW: Many good players I know don't even build defences to not waste resources on them. They put all the energy in attack units to bring the battle to the opponent. Sometimes they fall because of that when you manage to bring in some troups stealth or from behind. Most of the time however they pinpoint you in your base with this strategy, keep you busy, get more and more of the map and it's resources until their research und gold upgrades are that far ahead from you that they can easily kill you with one special pimped unit. Mostly with missiles, bombers or gunboats.
The ability of maxr to survive more but 160 turns before it eventually crashes doesn't mean that you have 160 turns time to build a nice base before somebody bothers you. Play some games and you'll get the hang of it
It's plain normal when you loose your first matches because max multiplayer is completly different from other games and even from it's own singleplayer.
