Minotaurus versus Devastator: who'd win?

[Timenn]

Hmm, when I try to test something in skirmish, the comp is always very irritating. But they are very quite when really batlleing them. But it's hard to program for the comp to use the hit 'n run, I think. Though it's good that they already made the comp use the outrange ability of some units...

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

They could program comp to not stand in death hand area and it would be good.

[Terror]

AoE and AoE2 had irritating AI's.... those archers and cavalry archers were a real pain in the ass..... shoot, run, shoot, run, shoot, run, shoot, kill aaaargh

[playerap]

[Terror]

Age of Empires and Age of Empires 2.

[playerap]

[playerap]

[Gobalopper]

Don't worry he was banned for a week because of that. ;)

[worm_rider]

who ever was saying something about a devastator rush is crazy. If it is Atriedies and an experinced player he's bound to have at least some rocket turents. Also 3-5 fedykin kick any devastators butt. 2 reason stealth and that deva suck against there weapons.

[playerap]

yes correct any exsperianced person isnt that stupid and wit the feds there awsome i luv them they kick all movin vehicles butt...

[Terror]

what did shocktroop-elite say? but anyways... though i did complain a bit about the aoe1/aoe2 AI i still think that both of them are great games though aoe1 is not much fun anymore once you've played aoe2...

[Hark-trooper]

Ok the deva. would easly win.

I tried it and the devastate Kick its butt.  ONE HIT THEN GOODBYE ;D

The deva. even killed a rank 1 mino no problem. ;D

So any of you think that the mino would win try it your self!!!!!!

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Not only deva can win with mino. Missile tank too.

[nemafakei]

"Missile tank too"

Range Difference?

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Is that missile can kill mino in one shot. See mino coming, send missile against him and even is close can take mino in one shot. Its not about range.

[Terror]

yes but missile tank can survive one mino attack.. a mino can not survive one missile tank attack..

[Caid Ivik]

Maybe because Missile tank is an assault and Minotaurus a fire-support unit.

[Timenn]

Return to topic please

[path_xiii]

Which is better - the screwdriver or the spanner?

[nampigai]

I allways liked a huge hammer, there's nothing you can't fix with a hammer

[nemafakei]

"yes but missile tank can survive one mino attack.. a mino can not survive one missile tank attack.. "

In my experience, both these statements are incorrect.

The mino will shoot first (range), and assuming no distractions, will kill the missile tank. It is then irrelevant whether the mino can survive - about half the people on fed2k (who I've heard) say the missile tank will kill the mino, half say not. But the ridiculously low missile tank armour and the significant firepower of the mino means that the mino can kill it, as long as it's not having to split its fire between two foes.

Besides which, there are other aspects to consider, like general effectiveness. Infantry are vulnerable to the mino; not so the missile tank - a few kindjal or rocketeers could take care of it.

[Terror]

I always prefer the saw.... it rules any other tool :-) but anyways... i wonder when this topic gets closed :-)

[Caid Ivik]

Maybe because Missile tank is an assault and Minotaurus a fire-support unit.

I wrote that these units are different category. Missile Tank is more close-fight unit. But I don't think you'll fight against lone Minotaurus with one Missile tank. Lone scout, ok, but assault unit?

[Aribites]

yeh, DUNENEWT!!!!!!  We all know that the Dev would win 1 on 1!  The deva would wi nif they both shot at the same time!!!!!
