THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • MauserT2 vehicle artillery from 5:24 · 4% of role by thenFrom the Advanced Vehicle Plant. Only 4% of Geo games have it by then; others who build it get it around 8:07
  • Advanced Vehicle PlantAdvanced Vehicle Plant in 95%7% of all Geo games by then
  • Vehicle PlantVehicle Plant in 95%17% of all Geo games by then
  • ProphetRadar vehicle in 57%2% of all Geo games by then

Where those units first fight, in 93 games with kill data: in the middle 85%, on their own side 15%.

Those units destroy a typical 3,963 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into Starlight (24% of army), Jaguar (21% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Advanced Vehicle Plant by 4:26
