Bots vs Vehicles

[Inca]

Bots and vehicles seem so similar that I usually just stick to one and ignore the other. Is there going to be any significant difference between these (e.g. different structures they can build)? If they're just a little different in building/movement speed, it seems like just some extra calculations that pro players will figure out and new players will get confused by.

The bots move more quickly and are cheaper to produce.

Early rushing = bots, typically.

The fastest way to a fabricator is with the bot factory.

That being said, vehicles are superior in toughness and firepower so they will usually form the majority of your land units. Bots are very very good early game, and even in mid to late game, t2 bots can be ridiculously deadly, but will be murdered by t2 vehicles in direct confrontations. Basically, they both have their place.

Plus, it seems like the construction bots move faster than the vehicles.

far as differences... the basic attack bot, = cheap & fast to produce , short range but blobs up good to get some serious firepower in when the blob gets into range

far as the basic tanks ( ants ) go, higher armour , costs more but they also have omost twice as much range as a basic attack bot. but they cannot blob up as well to attack in a group ( 1 good and 1 bad thing from that... good thing is... when they cant blob well , harder for bombers to carpet bomb them to nothing, as for the bad thing is... usually they make a long thin battle line and usually get stuck on all sorts of stuff due to path finding issues.

personally...
I perfer the vehicles over the bots. but

both are great
I often mix them the bots make great cannon fodder while tanks close the range and if the bots do get in close they will tear them up a bit.

I do it like this i get a 2/3 ratio on normal and advanved BOT factories. Dox as sponges and adanced units like sniper and slammers to deal damage. if I notice air 1 vehicle factory for some spinners. Because even if t2 vehicles deal more damage if they just shoot walking corpes then w/e.

This is kind of an old topic. When I originally wrote it, bots were basically vehicles with legs. Now they are quite different (although still basically both land units) so it's not such an issue.

I'm fairly new to the game, and so I don't have much experience, but I personally prefer vehicles. Quality over quantity, for me.
