I, for one, have no trouble controlling 300 units; even 800 isn't that much of a problem.


Maybe YOU guys have trouble with fully zoomed out satellite view, but my sharp eye, for one, has no trouble telling things apart. Also my dick is huge.


Furthermore, if wreckage is an issue, why aren't you reclaiming it?


I remember it taking forever, and the other guy is just going to laugh at you for trying to pick up litter and make the park beautiful while he starts throwing even more trash on the ground.

And there was never a lull in the fighting. The unlimited resources meant a never ending stream of dumb identical looking robots going into the meatgrinder. The wreckage piled up faster than you could clean it up, and even if you could you would never be able to clean up the frontline wreckage because your weak little worker dudes would get killed (creating even more wreckage).

I don't think you even got wreckage claiming worker dudes until later on. At the beginning only that commander dude could do it, and sticking him out on the frontline for minutes at a time playing highway cleaning crew seemed to be a bad idea.


Maybe I would have known better if I studied the 80 page spreadsheet that explains all the nuances of controlling 200 different identical looking units 800 at a time. Or I could have just gone back to starcraft where I can quickly surmise that a siege tank is a tank that it used for sieging and will never be mistaken at a glance for a marine or flying worm thing.


Oh wait. It's because you're too busy spamming Flashes, which can't shoot over wreckage, let alone Dragon's Teeth.


DRAGONS TEETH!!!! O NO YOU DIDN'T!

You come to a board where people don't like your game, claim you could kick their ass at said game to change their mind, then finally close with a slam that nobody but obsessed TA dorks would have a clue about. Way to go.
