Alright Mehman, this thing doesn't come with any of your surprises right?

God, FAI Massacre is god damn hard.
Those things are small, they move swiftly and they've got strong attacks. And they also come in groups of 10000 and will chew you up.

I wonder how it would do vs a bunch of that other AI controlled robot? (Name, anyone?)

OMG OMG OMGGGGGGGGGG
There was OVER 9000 of them... Zealots, you lose

Edit: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH OMGWTF BBQ, THEY JUST STARTED DROPPING TO THE GROUND LIKE FLIES IF I ORDEEEEEEEEEEEEER
edit 2: That was an interesting glitch

Anyway, a very interesting mod. They are VERY challenging, especially with only 3k to spend. I used a bunch of General Industries' troops and a Space Marine Chaplain brain and put them in the left bunker on Verdun, and used the last 1200 to buy two gunships that were quickly destroyed. Even the Basilisk's Hellfires couldn't track them well. Didn't last two minutes.

These are great, but they're way way OP. It's not how well they dodge, but the fact that they come with the weapons they come with. The laser is way too strong for how much they use it, and the tractor beam shouldn't be able to make my drop crates change direction. The bullets are the only thing that they should really be using, or the lasers in a really small quantity. Imagine the massive reactor the thing would have to have to power both a laser AND a tractor beam, AND the healing beam! And sometimes TWO at once! It's ridiculous.


EDIT: ALSO I really don't like how they make NO attempt at all to infiltrate a base and kill the brain. They just kinda wait outside the entrance and literally, and I mean literally, rape any actor who tries to be at all near it. It physically rapes all actors with it's super powered laser beam thing of death and doom, demise and destruction.

It's just kinda dumb.

Now normally I'd just let it all go and say it isn't worth the download, but your AI is still really good. In fact, it's the only reason I want to give criticism at all. The AI is awesome, but the weapons are just way too strong for such a tiny (not to mention cheap) guy.

Pretty sweet, I guess that even just the beam of death would be enough for those babes and maybe no healing at all. They're swarm after all, who cares if a dozen or another of them die ))) I'd really like some mechanism to deploy the whole swarm at once, ordering one by one is a little bit annoying.

Fighting these with a small force is exhilarating. Although their swarm tactics reminds me of fighting the RETARDS, the FAI force me to fight tactically. I enjoy the lasers, but making them instantaneous is slightly overkill. Would it be possible to add either a visible charge time off, er, how about 1-2 seconds, or a slower flight time? Either would make fighting them more enjoyable.

Ah! I just remembered, neither of the guns on the Transport or the Hydra Gunship from the Air Support mod make the FAI dodge. I would assume that they are not coded to dodge attacks from air attacks.
