Some tips for those struggling with land ranged units.
- Use air. E.g. bombers or transport drop. Personal favourite is com drop.
- Flank. Leave nowhere for ranged units to kite back towards.
- Deny intel. No intel = no range. Most players (including pros) only make minimal intel. One T1 bomber or LAB is always worth sacrificing to kill radar.
- Attack in multiple places simultaneously. Ranged units are often slow. Exploit this.
- Flow like water. If you can't break a position, ignore it and focus your efforts into the path of least resistance.
- Tech up to widen your tactical options.
- Eco UP. Fortify a little (e.g. walls) to buy time and develop your eco for a later game overwhelm strategy. More stuff beats less stuff.
- Pick your battles. If you've tried something and it didn't work, trying again often won't get you a better result.
- Stop playing on 1 to 2 lane maps or turtle maps.
If none of these are viable for you, get good by acknowledging your mistakes and improving.
Everything posted here justifies why any faction should rightfully get a 40 range gun. Or even better, give every faction a 40 range gun aside from Aeon.
I’d be able to give a rationale for why Cybran needs a 35 range gun, for example. Good luck doing it for Aeon.
