F**K ALL THE SPAMMERS FREAKING HELL.

[Archmalgamation]

I am quite new to this game, and I find that I tend to lose to people who spam units. And by spam, I mean they come in a freaking tsunami. EARLY GAME. (Spam Shooters, Jokers, etc.)

I've been trying to find a contermeasure to this problem, but everything I've tried has hit a dead end. Any suggestions? I really don't want to change my airmech, though.

early or rushspam is usually quite fragile when opposed with dropped explosives
i suggest u acquire Bombs to increase fun during matches
build with holding Ctrl + Unitbutton to make them stay inside the outposts for easier deployment
also prepare a counter push consisting of roughly 10 tanks and u will win easily
also never underestimate the power of scouting try to fly over the enemy controlled area early to see what the enemy is planning

[Archmalgamation]

Thanks, but I have tried the bombs before. It helped with a bucky stampede, but not a joker one.

I use the saucer (ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US). do you think it can help?

[Liobuster]

why didnt it help against jokers though? where they too fast to get clumped close enough?
also saucer is actually a harrasser/skirmisher and cant engage in dogfights too well
so if u play saucer and during the first scouting(after you cap your natural and start unit production yourself) it might be a good idea to simply harrass their outposts wcich should be weakly defended
dont hope to keep them captured but make sure that its neutral or in your hands at least 2/3 of the time
thatn way they cant build as many units and the push should be weak enough to fail against the aforementioned tankcounterpush

It Seems like Geminis make short work of Jackals, so i'm spamming them the first chance I get.

Also, I feel like the saucer can help in these stampedes, as activating it's skill and brainwashing anything in the crowd would do well.

I like to visit the enemy's base often and steal whatever they have, then either use it or salvage it.

For the jokers, I feel like the enemy spam so much stuff that it was difficult to keep up with...

As for the joker bombing, I wasn't so experienced in the usage of bombs. for the buckies, I got lucky, as it was a 3 v 3 situation.

Thank you for the suggestions! If you have anymore, I would like to hear them. (sorry if I sound rude or cocky, I'm not that good in communication)

Never mind, the enemy tend to get more Jackals that can EASILY overpower my gemini tanks.

I have put healers on the field, but they don't heal nearly as much for the damage to be taken out.

They have moneymakers, but doing the math in my head, I don't think it's worth it (60 credits every couple of seconds? REALLY?)

I have no idea how to counter an army this large early (Jackals), andd it's irritating me. This tactic is so cheap, that it's unbelievable.

[Liobuster]

thats why i said harrass
you cant win with more expensive units so long as u have the same income and same production abilities
so limit theirs deny their income deny their popcapespecially since spammers tend(!!not all but most!!!!) to be very unattentive of anything else but unitpumping

[Archmalgamation]

Hmmm, okay.

I just lost to a very skilled player, and realise I have much to learn...

Maybe I should study the tactics of other players, and use them.

to defeat spam i spam T99 around the base
