when I play my friend Josh, I like to keep the games long, I am normally eden and he is normally plymouth, and when we start I get units first, so I start building a line of defence, and I build a mine and smelter on every beacon within that area, and I build more units, killing off his, and making my line expand, giving me more room to build smelters, eventially I get my line to his base, and I take over all his beacons except for 1 common and 1 rare, just to be nice, so here he is, with a huge army surounding him, and all he has is a little bit of ore
he usually kills himself at that point lol
I playd like that on the map Colliseem, and I had at least 20 smelters, and 9 vec facts, all prudicing emp and thor tigors at the same time lol
