Stormbringer bombers

Armada Geo build order · Supreme Isthmus

Geo builds an Aircraft Plant right after its advanced geo and pushes T1 Stormbringer bombers forward from about 7:26, hitting into the middle and enemy base well before T2 units normally arrive.

Usually blows up the commander for T2 (70%)

THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • StormbringerT1 air bombers from 7:26 · 10% of role by thenFrom the Aircraft Plant. Only 10% of Geo games have it by then; others who build it get it around 7:42
  • Aircraft PlantAircraft Plant in 99%17% of all Geo games by then
  • FalconFighter in 80%10% of all Geo games by then
  • FalconFighter in 44%7% of all Geo games by then

Started with Stormbringer (98%), Whirlwind (2%).

Where those units first fight, in 159 games with kill data: in the enemy base 54%, in the middle 43%.

Those units destroy a typical 2,463 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into Starlight (21% of army), Jaguar (10% of army), fighter (9% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Stormbringer bombers by 7:15

  1. Open Bot Lab and geo as usual, then add an Aircraft Plant very early.
  2. Get the Geothermal Powerplant up on the normal fast schedule.
  3. Finish the Aircraft Plant well ahead of the role's usual pace.
  4. Push T1 bombers led by Stormbringer straight into the enemy base.
  5. Switch into the usual T2 constructor and Starlight work for the team.
