THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • MauserT2 vehicle artillery from 5:29 · 3% of role by thenFrom the Advanced Vehicle Plant. Only 3% of Geo games have it by then; others who build it get it around 8:13
  • Advanced Vehicle PlantAdvanced Vehicle Plant in 85%6% of all Geo games by then
  • Vehicle PlantVehicle Plant in 85%15% of all Geo games by then
  • UmbraJammer in 48%2% of all Geo games by then

Where those units first fight, in 54 games with kill data: in the middle 81%, on their own side 19%.

Those units destroy a typical 4,013 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into Jaguar (22% of army), Starlight (22% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Advanced Vehicle Plant by 6:05

  1. Open mex, wind and Bot Lab, then add geo by 3:17.
  2. Build a Vehicle Plant by 4:18 to open the vehicle line.
  3. Rush an Advanced Vehicle Plant for early T2 vehicles.
  4. Push Mauser arty to front to shell the middle early.
  5. Add Starlight and T2 cons as the push transitions to standard Geo play.
