Taiidan:I have a friend in my room with me, amongst many friends, who is playing HW and hes like "man Arbiter is so OP vs Regret" to which I stated its only in his lack of the ability to deal with the arbiter that makes him "op". Just wondered what the consensus was. I know ive heard both, but im bored, and thought ...

Covy would be OP if they had econ bonuses. That's why they get a free leader.

Build order and placement is important. Playing on instinct will only get you so far. You need to have a plan to reach the highest levels. Even a crappy plan is better than no plan. If event A occurs, you need to have a counter ready, if event B occurs, you need to have counter B ready. Early game plan A needs to lead to end game plan A or B, so ...

The problem with going temple first is that your opponent can force a win if they know what they are doing. If hogs attack your base while you try to capture the resource/reactor, you are going to lose more money than if you went warehouse x2 first cause the hogs will keep taking down your buildings. PoR can't stop it because you won't ...

1. Warehouse  (turret on left side) 2. Warehouse 3. Temple        (PoR guards turretless side) 4. Warehouse   (upgrade all warehouses and get blessed) 5. Hall  6. If opponent keeps harrassing with hogs, quickly counter attack with Prophet+bonded shield hunters. Destroy the barracks ...

i used to beat some high ranking Anders players only spamming flamers+cyclops. When Anders is distracted, sneak an army of flamers and cyclops to her base. The cyclops do the building damage while the flamers act as a meatshield. The more gremlins.......the better. Works pretty well on chasms cause it is small and you have easy access to the ...

Anders will actually get owned even more on hook maps, especially on blood gulch. Anders will capture the reactors, Forge should go for the resource elevators first. Do some simple math, Forge gets way ahead. It costs Anders $300 to capture a reactor (those flamers weren't free). Forge will have resource elevators and HSPs on his base. He will ...

yeah, they should be tech 0. That would actually balance out the gremlins if forge could build cyclops at tech 0 and with faster spawn times.

You guys need to rethink the gremlin nerf. I'll post a paragraph tomorrow with details.   The gremlin is OP, but without it, Anders would be UP. There needs to be a more balanced nerf, that or buff Cutter/Forge.

The Fuhrer: why doesn't forge just completely own cutter now in 1v1 then? it will be just like anders after the patch but without ever having gremlins. he saves 400 but anders will get that if she buys 3-4 upgrades which which will be very likely on hooked maps. forge has a slow start and anders does not, she can still use hooks to out ...
