mino turret

[dex]

good strategy has helped me many times

essentially like a turret defense but without the turrets

build minotaurs however many you would like, then place them around your base at strategic defense points.

[s2]

I tryed this it's good but 2 things are the problem with me.

1. trying to get the wall were I want it to.

2. the attakers never get thet close to my base.

Other than these two things i like your stratigy, it's the new atriedes turrent, called mino in a turrent.

Dex has got the worst strats...

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

No he hasn't. I think they are good.

[s2]

Esa why you think his strats suck.

Also useful for avoiding some of the effects of hawk strike.

Problem is that the walls will stop minos responding to inkvine and other threats, and the front walls can be destroyed from out of the mino's range.

[dex]

true the reason to use minos is because of their range you should always have a few other units hanging around the base to handle such misfortunes as an inkvine

[dex]

reason to use walls to surround minotaurus is also because most units cant shoot over walls

Like Nema said you can't respond to inkvine and other threats like the out of range units. I wouldn't try this on-line though it might not work so well.

TWO POST UP  :O :O :O :O :O

[nemafakei]

Calm down, dex. Online, you'd get kicked with this, I reckon.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

I'm cool with it, 3-0.

[dex]

ligic what???

nema y wouldnt this work on line

by the way you dont just put out the minotaurus and expect your base to be impervious you still have to defend with regular turrets and defensive units it just an added precaution.   >:( >:(

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

It means I agree.

>:( >:(I just saw the post normaly I would say @#$% you #$%@^

[dex]

and my thanks to those who defended me :-* :-*

[nemafakei]

Any human player worth his salt will make use of the immobility, whereas you can get away with it vs an AI.

[dex]

yes true

[gunner154]

lol that tickles

but that strat is cool

but occupies too much space

[dex]

how so?

[gunner154]

turrets take up to 4 squares

but that tactic takes one mino (1 square) and surrounding it (around the mino)

M=Mino

_/|=Wall

          _

         |M|

          _

as u can see, that's easily 8 Squares for walls. meaning a total of 9 squares occupied for such a tactic.

[dex]

one side is 3 wall pieces so it takes up a space that is 3x3 3squares deep and 3 squares wide

[dex]

changed name but same strat

[alphabeta4000]

what if it gets damage ?????? I mean you would then have to leave a space open to put in a repair vehicle and that would mean selling and rebuilding a wall

[dex]

never had too much of a problem with that but I guess you could put a repair veh. next to it with its own wall
