what should I have done differently?

I've been having troubles with nuke lately. They always get me late in the game. What are some GLA strategies you guys use against nuke? I know BB's are good counters for OL's, but they always have ECM's with the OL's....


Here's a replay I did today. He totally annihilated me....

Lol, theres loads of ways to kill his nukes. I like using the Sneak Attack most, load it up with 8 scorps and 2 quads to take out planes and infantry, then just fire at it.. even with ecms he doesnt have much of a chance.

How did I miss this thread...

You want an AD up ASAP if you're toxin, and start with a technical raid before moving on to marauders and quads. Tunnel the flanks always.

It's like this: Attack and block off his units with marauders and quads, supported by a developed tunnel network. Use those free RPGs.

At late tech, use jarmen kell + gamma ambush to capture overlords and stop him. This will be much easier to pull off if you can distract him in his own base with techRPG or a gamma bus.

JarmenKell one of his dozer & open up a tunnel ambush, empty the unit in the tunnel & get the dozer inside your base, harras him a bit more, make some cool combo's...and send those through the tunnels again:gnarly:

No. For one thing the sneak attack tunnel is a 5 Star power that you will rarely get to use.

If you get a Chinese dozer, build a powerplant in your base immediately and let a worker finish it. If you get a USA dozer, build a barracks and then a powerplant (have workers finish both).

Nuke just don't stand a chance against Toxin. I would require a very good Nuke and a flawed Toxin to be a match.
Daishi just pointed an obvious way to win. In the (allow me again) stupid 1.04 a single tech/RPG may be enough (harass supplies, collect scraps= fully scrapped heroic tech=GG Nuke/Tank/China).

In your game, u just sit all the game and waited for the massed overlords+ECMs. What were u waiting for? Where were the tunnels,Techs/RPG,Scorps, u name it...?
U could do a lot better imo. Let's hope for it next game. :)

Thanks guys for the tips. I don't know what I was doing. I should have attacked him way more. and continued to harrass his supplies.....


P.S. When/If I use techterror, what should I aim for, his supplies or WF, or his propaganda center???

[Daishi]

Whatever's less likely to be mined will work. Generally propaganda center is the best, as it'll get overlords and ECMs offa the field while you're teching up to your busses and BMs and requires fewer terrorists to kill, and chances are he'll only have one. I think if you're fighting tank you should aim for the factory because he'll be the least set-back by blown supplies. Generally you should instead hit his supplies to slow him down a bit.

[yurihomer]

well. i think propaganda center > supply > war factory. supply and war factory are kinda on same level.
