Guild NIAB tanks

[gunner154]

but a leech spore weakens them

[Timenn]

They're quick enough back to visit mr. Engineer, but they can't teleport anymore then ;D ;D

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Also the Shoot off the leech tactic works too :P

[Timenn]

Not so good with NIAB, they have a lot of firepower but not much armor...

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

It works with Ordos though.

[jacobdouds]

Why can't Niabs teleport with a leech on them?

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

They can't?

[jacobdouds]

I don't know, but someone above said so.

[Sardauker-Kirov]

All unit's that are leeched cant use Secondary/Deployment Skills.

[Timenn]

That's true, and the Harvesters won't be picked up anymore by carryalls...

[jacobdouds]

Well then. Leeches are worse than I thought. This adds a whole new dimension to them.

[Timenn]

Then remove the black label from your screen where normally the Tleilaxu logo would be ;D

[gunner154]

leeches can only be shot of by friendly units

[Timenn]

It's good WW make that that way, otherwise leeches would be worser then they already are

[gunner154]

leeches are really useless units, but they arent THAT bad, right?

well they work against human players to distract them while u use infiltrators to take out his outpost(s) and move ur forces in undetected.

against computer players they rock, coz the computer never repairs them.

[ken124578]

leeches have 1 advantage, they are fast and 1 shot is enough to kill an vehicle (if the leech isn't removed)

[Sardauker-Kirov]

They can be a "Huge" Annoyance, When you attack the enemy with the leeches when they are trying to assault you. It will cause alot of Confusion and Damage to the Verhicles also. While your units fire on them.

Unless if they have some repair verhicles at hand lol  :)

The other major downside of NIAB tanks is their temporary post-jump immobility... a trait shared with Red Alert 2's Chrono Legionnaires; further, there is a regneration delay on the fold unit - anyone remember the chrono tank from the original Red Alert?  Given those two facts, NIABs are best driven into battle, so that they can warp out if they get into trouble (hotkeying helps).

[Timenn]

And it's always irritating when one sticks behind and the other's teleport. But for some strange reason the one who stays behind survives and that one comes to your base on the normal way ;D

[gunner154]

What do you mean?

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

From who did you ask gunner?

[Timenn]

I mean, later in the game you always discover some units who are forgotten, like scouts or single Airdrone or used Carryalls, and with the NIAB you see suddenly your own NIAB coming trough your base while you said them to teleport years ago to the back of your base...

[sneezer3]

use Kindjal/morters/troopers. in groups of 5

if its latter in the game and your ordos then use

Devastators. 8) 8) 8)

leech spore and aircraft is also vary good at that.

Don't forget that you can use the guild to! 8)

::) ::)

PS i'm new to this board

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

To what?

[Timenn]

Against NIAB Tanks, that's what this topic is about... :P
