Huh. No Aggro Deck and no Nod Air Deck possible. And no scouting units at all. And all the regulars like Flame Troopers, Laser Squads, Attack Bikes etc. are not available either. 🤔

I wonder what is a good deck with this setup then? And with what unit to open? The cheapest one here is 60 Tiberium...

Funny. All expensive units.

[Mister_Crac]

What will be the level cap for this event?

[Mister_Crac]

You might want to rethink this whole setup.

As Renardin just pointed out on Discord, there is no counter to a Banshee (rush) in the beginning, except for using a Banshee yourself. This would mean that this whole event boils down to who has the highest level Banshee. I guess that this does not make much sense.

For this event, the level cap is 11. Also, the only map is Battlefield.

[xrmiao4]

Cool, I have lvl11 banshee

WAR GAMES - EMERGENCY FIX - BEFORE RELEASE!

YOU NEED TO ADD A FEW UNITS TO YOUR LIST!

-MILITANTS

-CYBERWHEELS 

-LASER DRONE

-LASER SQUADS

-FANATICS 

Here is the problem:

You gave people no scout!

You gave people no cheap air counter!

You gave people no cheap infantry counter!

Why is this a problem?

You start with 100 Tiberuim.

It Cost 60 to make harvester.

The remaining 40 goes to a building unlock.

The next cheapest unit you can make is 60 Tiberuim which is a HUGE PROBLEM.

Lets say I make Harvester - 60 Tib. - remain 40 will go to building cost.

Lets say my opponent rushes my Harvester.

I have to wait till I have 60 additional tib. to counter anything they have!

My Harvester is dead by the time I make anything!

We need a way to scout rival opponents to see if they will rush us or not!

Than we can make a Harvester or not send depending on what we see.

COME ON, THE ABOVE UNITS, I AM RECOMMENDING TO ADD ARE DESIGNED TO PREVENT BATTLES FROM ENDING IN THE FIRST 10 SECONDS OF A FIGHT.

No point in making a harvester in this event if your opponent can rush & kill it with ease.

It will cause everyone who makes a harvester to auto lose in the first 10 seconds.

You can’t come back from such a huge economic disadvantage.

We have nothing to stop Banshee Rush.

We have nothing to stop Mutant Rush.

By time we collect 60 tiberuim to make any defensive counter, The fight is over!

The Last reason, I believe you should do these last min add on is for the new players!

Most of the Units you have available require a person level to be high.

I think it is going to be very hard for new players to make a full team!

Thank you, for your time.

Have you seen a tick tank rush? I know how to do it. Not sure if I invented it, but one must order a tick tank at the start of the fight and have it go for the harvester. With it in the tiberium field, there's no way one can climb the economy. Also the war games is unbalanced. Seems like a tech oriented and some can rush it to win and there's no counter.

All very reasonable what you wrote. I hope they will consider it.
