how to kill seige worms?

[bauerbach]

do you just avoid them at all costs until you are way farther into the game where they dont 1shot your army dudes and kill all your workers/colonizers?

Rangers can kill them given enough time. Just pick at their flesh year by year.

I haven't had a Siege Worm bother to attack any of my cities yet - But they occasionally get close enough for the city to burn it to death over a long number of turns.

Aside from that - Artillery units or the Jets (They still take damage when they attack the worm so be mindful)

I used a combination of rangers and them being in firing range of my cities, plus I recieved a couple decisions to make my eco units be ignored by Aliens.

I used my jets but sadly they died in the first assault... Looked awesome though, so it was worth it :)

Build the fence that keeps aliens away from your city and put a few rangers just inside of it. Easy pickings.

Seems realistic enough. You dont see a pack of wild animals charge a hunter who is picking them off from far away...

wait til you played archipelago map type... It can be safely called "Civilization: World of Krakens" then.

I used 2 gun boats and fired at range they cant swim apparently....just watch for sea dragons.

Range units. Fastest one to get is research physics for rangers.

If it's still to "tough", have them level up to 2nd tier via affinity ( think around 7).

Those damn Krakens! They one shot my cruisers every time (strength of 6, really?) yet it takes 2 cruisers about 3 volleys each to kill a Kraken.

I am struggling more well early on, way before ships, like... 2nd or 3rd settlement. I mean, Im not dieing... but after losing 3 colonizers I had to quit and Ill start over, too much wasted time.

I used boats and just picked him off at the shore.

Don't use airplanes anyway because apparently the pilots are idiots and don't fly high enough to not get hit by the worm. Dumb.

Build the Sonic fences. They keep all aliens 2 hexes away from your city, which should be enough to give you time until your units are strong enough to deal with them.

This whole "Air Strike considered as a melee attack" thing is BS. Can't believe they kept it in Beyond Earth.
