Subject: Re: Are subs overpowered?
It's about strategy.. if you're going to attack on the water you have to be fast.
It's the very same with air dominance. You have to be the first. And keep up.
What's a submarine worth when it comes to planes or ground vehicles? What when your opponent simply does not care about the water and stays on the land sending you heavy artillery or bombers?
On a water map it's everyones first job to build a shipyard. It's quite easy and effective especially in the beginning to protect it with sea mines. Also always have some bombers in the air on sentry to protect the shipyard from subs.
Seriously.. if you hack the xml to foil your opponents strategy you'll put out the fun of it for your players. Learn to counter it prober or you'll soon play alone. MAX (and also MAXR) is really good balanced. It's amazing what you can do with the right strategy, some strategic upgrades and a portion luck.
