Answer this.

I'll admit it. I use Hydras most, as they tend to have the widest range of affected units, such as any vehicle and building. A close second after them, however are Liberators, due to the dreaded Rocket Troopers! In a game where I don't know much about the enemy, and am given the chance to upgrade my VTS early on, I'll crank out batallions of six Hydras/four Liberators and send them out until I know more about what I'm up against.

My FAVORITE unit, however, is the Eagle! It's all but unmatched for speed, its firing rate makes it absolutely deadly to infantry (including ANDYs!). When you need to get somewhere in a hurry, send Eagles. Unless they come up against some armor, they'll get there, for the most part. Good as scouts, hunters, or good old fashioned bait! Very Happy

I like rocket troopers because they can deal with pretty much anything except guards.

I also like them because everyone else uses hydras, and rocket troopers are the perfect counter to them.

I'm with PhillipEarl.... Hydras and Liberators. Get those Eagles out there early and find out what the competition is building. Then I know what I have to build to counter them.

Al is way too good with his Rocket Troopers and Raiders.... just hate it when my buildings start changing color. Evil or Very Mad

How come corporate raiders aren't on the list. Why blow up a building when you can own it? Twisted Evil

they don't really have weapons and can't actually fight in the same way. Just like bullpups and dominions, which I also did not include.

My unit is either the hydra or rocket tower but i dont no if thats considered a unit but i use hydras the most in my games cause in a big group they are near invincible!!!

Ok, then my unit is the rocket trooper. Fast, cheap and effective. Laughing

Broadsword, why? because they are all around good tanks. No specilization to limit them

You have a point there, about the broadswords. They're weak when defending against most of the units, but medium when attacking. They would make an interesting army...

Now rocket troopers, that's a different story.

I like broadswords too, especially on an invasion. You can send them on death missions to get to the other base and have them target buildings, which go down really fast. One broadsword is almost a match for an entire rocket tower (assuming it has no repairing on), and two broadswords will devestate it.

About the rocket towers, those can be used on the offensive. Just build a forward base in front of the enemy base's entrances with rocket towers to prevent the armies from coming out. You can also target other buildings with the towers, too.

So it is decided! Rocket Towers are the best offensive unit. Hurrah!

I'd like to try them sometime. I wonder how they would work out. They sound pretty good because they're so powerful...

Yeah, and the computer doesn't know to get their bullpups away from them and they all get killed. It isn't long before the mere cost of bullpups wears down the enemy resources, giving you a quickly and easy way to invade. The only thing you have to watch out for are Cyclops, who will be able to destroy your towers from their own defensive position. Still, I always get by with this strategy. Except for once in Mission 5 of your Return of Fox campaign, where they managed to destroy all of them.
