@FtXCommando I was also under the impression that inties trade favorably into Janus if you have at least close to the same mass invested in them, I thought Yudi told me that awhile back. Am I misremembering or just wrong there?
The issue is that it's much cheaper to make infra for janus, you can just have 10 engis assist and t2 hq, whereas the opponent has to make 10 t1 airfacs. Then u can just switch to assisting something else once enemy has made 10 t1 airfacs.
Fair but then can't you just spam inties in more or less exact same way from t2 airfacs? You can build just over 4 inties in the time it takes to build one Janus with equivalent bp if I'm not mistaken and I think you need ~3.5 inties per janus to win.
But yeah, to your point and @FtXCommando last message I do agree. There's a big difference between in theory and in practice here. I think, and I think you guys agree with this, in theory inties should win if you know from the start your opponent is going janus and they actually do that. But it doesn't work like that in practice, since you don't know for a fact they're going Janus and they can at any point choose to not go Janus, messing up your investment.
Strong agree on the snowball potential, though I think that's air in general unfortunately
