The sabertooth was tempting for the opponent since it can lower your barriers quickly, but he forgot to build more Fortresses. Always build more fortresses. Then, maybe backline Vulcans with Incendiary missiles. But it's true that once you get into a Fortress race against an opponent with better chaff clear, you're going to have a very bad time.
The golden rule of Mechabellum: "once you go fort you do not stop building fort!" It did surprise me that he went with sabers though because he already runs the fortress vs. fortress techs. Like I'm pretty sure if he takes launcher overload and range he just beats my fortresses since I run the punch and fang prod.
@Ragin08 At 1400mmr I like to grab wasps myself if my opponent doesn't have aa. It gives me more flexibility in the early rounds if I can dictate/force what units are on the board
@@r4nd0m1zer2 that way of thinking will get you very far in this game! If you have jump drive on your wasps it can be especially nasty because you can continue to poke/snipe with mobile beacons. People have a very hard time with it and will often overcommit resources to stopping it
That was a great game. Just have one question though: the stormcallers were an excellent pick and did tons of damage; so I'm wondering why you never upgraded them. Either level them up to deal better with the left side or take electromag to disable arclights and such. Is there a reason you did nothing more with those?
That's a good question. Leveling them would mean forgoing the other plays I made on certain turns since it would cost 300 supply. Personally, I liked them being free and just providing passive damage while I transitioned into my final board. Once the Forts hit the board all of my money was needed for that. I think round 5 was the latest I would have been able to upgrade them, which was just before the fortress drop. To be clear I do think there is merit in leveling them I just had an expensive plan haha

The round 2 read was impressive
It's so common now I just immediately grab round 2 fangs or wasps of my own if I don't already have them

I had no idea a Javelin will take down an unranked tower until today. Learned it the hard way on the last round.
@@Eveseptir you can't damage towers with a javelin
