Cookie Krisp: Forge will beat Anders simply by tank spamming. Anders can't do the same thing back because Forge can do it better.
No you're wrong, Forge has no advantage at all.
Anders also does not have the economy to build tanks+gremlins at the same time.
R U F***ING KIDDING ? 3 hsp +sp = non-stop gremlin + tank production ...
You'll be outgunned 2-1 by the time you get any significant amount of gremlin support.
NO, JUST NO,
Plus the Forge tank+hornet duel pump strategy will also overwhelm Anders (and it is already hard to stop if done right).
Cryo jack with hogs and 3 gremlins owns it.
Same with Cutter, except you can use a single elephant to stop all warthog harassment. So technically, Cutter may own Anders even more than Forge. Good luck on blood river, Anders. Maybe Chasms too. My tundra strat will also wreck Anders too now that the gremlins are gone (and it already owns her, lol).
Gremlins aren't gone, you can just build hogs in thier place earlygame instead, you won't need them til T2 anyway.
Reply in bold, also:
Map 1 BG: Anders gets her supply hook then sends 3 hogs at forges reactor, marine goes thru tele, once T2 gremlin qued, Base is : HSP, HSP, SP,B, R, get fortress, build VD and 1 spartan, send flamers to your reactor hook, bring 2nd gremlin over also, 1st tank out, que chain gun and a 2nd tank, get a 2nd spartan after chaingun and last building is an SP, que N-implant + Can' shot, scout forges base and Supply hook, build more gremlins.
The best thing Forge can do is double pump tanks, then try to get a reactor, however they both get the 1st tank out at the same time, Forge cant double pump nonstop and build spartans, so does he drop barracks ? that would mean hed lose hooks over time, so he has a semi-useless building, now forge will have 3 tanks when Anders only has 2, however anders has T2 spartans also... and 2 gremlins, Forge will have 5 tanks to Anders 2.. now anders has canshot and T spatans +more gremlins (which still do very well vs tanks) Anders then chooses Power turret and Spartan laser, OR double pump by upgrading 1 pad (which can be done before hand if spare res comes) Forge will have more tanks, but the gremlins will be FL and the tanks may still only be T2, 3 Spartanks at FULL T3 along with gremlins can take down 6/7 tanks, add in cryo and they take them down quite easily.
So forge needs to get a reactor, there will be gremlins at both hooks + 2 tanks at his, 1 at mine, won't be easy to get.
And if Anders went T4 They get 950 res off PT and SPL and Chain amp ... if Anders gets chain amp forge will lose.
All forge has over Anders is the res gathered before Anders's reactor is built, i can upgrade pads and keep up, however how do you get the reseach time back ? not to mention the extra res.
On BG 3HSP+ SP vs 4HSP is hardly the world is it ? yet anders gets gremlins AND faster, Better tanks and spartans, you cant build hornets when i can make Wolvies, Cobras lose to tanks, and you cant use spartans, all you can do is build the under-teched same unit as me, but that unit is countered by gremlins .. and ofc by the higher teched tanks ... and cyro is helpful (Carpet bomb not so much)
Economy plays such a tiny role in this game, its a RPS resouce system, so you can only get so much, so having MORE SAVED is what it comes to, thats why so many anders dont upgrade pads, it gives them saved res, and if they have enough un-upgraded pads aswell, they can have an equal eco, AND have lots of saved res, which means they have more res ... seeing as you can only build a certain amount of units at a time it comes down to having non-stop unit production AND THE UPGRADE LEVE ... THIS IS WHAT ANDERS GETS, ITS a HUGE ECO advantage if you understand it.
Forge will need to pause something to get say Powerturret, anders won't, and gets it faster, so that just about makes a free tank, since the upgrade is good also, and when i build more tanks they get better too, its a huge advantage.
I understand that unless you're good with anders this might sound strange, but im sure that Prince, Meatshield, And iEchoic (if he were here still) will agree.
I'm open to Forge vs anders games when this comes, it really wont change that much, Cutter gets more out of it imo, he can allready win Tundra most of the time, Release some of the time (will get easier) and chasms, P.S THIS ISIN'T DIRECTED TO COOKIE, ITS TO EVRYONE.
