K, I will head out tommorow and will direct them to our mail cluster of bases to be later directed to POI's.

Just focus on recruiting them, we can ask them to send secondary bases to POIs later

POI back covered - also - managed to snag an aircraft guidance tower into the bargain

That's me babysitting 4 now.

farming - farming - farming.....

Oh and that's post 1000 - woohoo

Congrats on the 1,000 posts!

What is everyone's next research goal? I am going for Avatars or Salamanders.

[Spinysnafu]

Don't know - in the process of defence upgrades - going for all the towers - got flak at the moment and guardian - just need watchtowers and i'm good to go on them all - i'll be farming for a few more months. Added bonus is that all those towers use tiberium and not crystal - that'll all go onto offence only so looks like a win win at the minute - may attack myself just to see what happens : lol

5th base for me, I will overtake you DX and have the best ranking in the alliance

[dx144]

Having all towers wouldn't be that good as Anti Structure units could easily defeat all defences. =/

[CruciasNZ]

I just got mammoths and am working on Base 5 too

[Spinysnafu]

You have a very point and one that needs discussion. One of the ones I'm after is Titan artillery which is one that sits at the back and covers the whole screen. A couple of them and I should be ok. Every defence combination needs testing after all.

I may have to program this up myself as an offline sim - put in the terrain for your base and it'll churn through the best possibility to repel most attacks.

Should be do-oable

Not cheating or nothing lol - just a programming excercise.

Thinking about it - There's probably already one out there if you look.

[CruciasNZ]

Titan Artillery have a max and min firing range like Reaper Art we are facing in lvl 23 and 24 outposts. Shove it at the back and shove walls and chain link to slow them down

[Spinysnafu]

Will do - when I get them

It's all going to end up as lines and lines of interlinked weapons.
just keep upgrading I suppose.

[dx144]

Oh I thought you meant just the Anti Tank, Anti Air and Anti Infantry walls. Artys could be whole different situation because of their range. Shooting something before it can shoot you will always help =D Just have a wall of Anti Infantry, Anti tank and Anti Air artillery set up =D I might go for that. I will check how much I need for obelisks, SAM sites and Gatling cannons.

In order of cost:
Obelisk Artillery - 24M cash 48M Research Points.
SAM Site - 35M Cash 70M Research Points.
Gatling Cannon - 100M Cash 200M Research points.

Could take a while to get all of them. Gatling Cannons best be worth it for that price!

Also POIs spotted.
Aircraft Guidance Tower - 833:561
Tungsten Compound - 823:568
Anyone near the area with a free base?

[CruciasNZ]

To my knowledge only Apulo has a free base

[Spinysnafu]

Nah - single types in a line won't cut it - one firehawk in the right place nails them flat. mixtures of one then the next then the next on the same line should overcome most problems. - like Cru said big guns to the back because of the range - everything else is there to slow the assault down enough so that it gets nailed more than you do.

[JC 042]

I do have free bases but will be out recruiting with them, trying to get some guy with 4 bases on our side.

[dx144]

Fair enough. I will get Obelisks in a few days to test them out =)
Only need 16M Research points.

[Spinysnafu]

need to get about 20mill research for the watchtowers. after converting the bases to money factories for a while i'm at 200mill money

[JC 042]

Ive got Obelisks, damn expensive to upgrade :/. Dont know how well they fair in defences though, will probably find out soon while recruiting.

[dx144]

Ask for someone to send some attacks against you =P

[CruciasNZ]

I am debating Watchtower or Base 5

[JC 042]

Ask for someone to send some attacks against you =P

Cru, your nearby right? If you can reach throw an attack or two at 1st Claw if you dont mind sparing the resources.
