Buckin Bronco legendary is not the hardest. The adaptive AI setting is the best it learns from you. The more you win the harder it gets plus it uses your tactics against you
@DrunkenXSMonkey
@DrunkenXSMonkey 6 жыл бұрын
Buckin Bronco well here are the differences (as far as I'm aware) Easy- 30/60 second player head start (ai will do nothing in this time) build stuff one at a time with a large delay between building something new, won't build super units. Normal- similar to easy but 30 second delay, builds stuff one at a time with no delay, will build super units after 30 minutes of game time. Hard- no head start, builds normally, will tend to rush, will build super units after 20 minutes. Legendary- similar to hard but has double starting funds. Will constantly build and upgrade units, will attack in force after 5 minutes. Will build super units asap. Think to note is the AI will often produce set starting units based on leader, even if these units don't fit that leaders strengths (cutter will build tanks and rarely elephants, forge will build infantry and air units and Anders will build infantry and gremlins) also they won't build counter unit's to whatever you have they tend to go for a more balanced army.

there was a thread saying that on legendary, AI gets 33% more supplies, builds 50% quicker, does 33% more damage and only takes 75% of damage. in a game that you can only build a base one building at a time, in predetermined positions thats kinda a big killer. i guess im soo used to play Command and Conquer Generals where you can build however you like, and the AI on hardest setting builds at a reasonable rate. might be easy to win but it is a 15 year old game

How to win using the covenant against UNSC legendary A.I. 1. Get your leader into a position located close to an enemy base without being in combat range. 2. Build Jackals - Five to Four squads. 3. Build Hunters - Three to Four squads. 4. Continue to send squads against targeted base. 5. Focus all research into Jackals and Hunters. 6. Once dominance has been established, focus all other resources into Vampires (Anti-Air Unit) 7. By now, you should be able to deal with any enemy unit they can throw at you, so either spam these three units, or save up for a Scarab.

Legendary is fucking easy, rush with arby, get the arby upgrade (forgot the name but not the rage one the one that reflects damage) before you get to their base should also mention you're only going to be building the temple which is first then supply pads, either slash or rage down any enemy they produce and use suicide grunts to destroy basically everything. Easy

I remember my favourite tactic was to play Anders, and rush her super unit while my team held off the enemy. Once I started building them, that was it. In fact it seems most games I played revolved around cheesing units to counter what your opponent is currently cheesing, and then cheesing something else to counter the counter, until one of you out maneuvers the other. Also, whoever got super units first would just win.

Locusts are support units. A mass of Vampires and Hunters/Wraiths creates a stalling force that can't be ignored by any units that aren't Covie Heroes or giant ass bugs. While they're busy being a horrendous distraction that won't just die you have 2 or 3 Locusts trot on in and snipe all the turrets/unit producing building from halfway across the map.

Halo wars 1 is better than the sequel, halo wars 1 sees you craft a great army and use it to destroy your enemy, in halo wars 2 you craft your master army and then watch half of it die in an instant when someone uses a leader ability which causes you to have to streamline and mass produce your armies like your Joseph Stalin’s and people are just another number

Man. I appreciate the exposure to the game, but this hurt to watch. It was pretty funny though so good on ya. Just some small pointers tho: 1)Theres a teleporter to get you to the other side of the map quicker for a rush on Fort Deen. 2)You should ideally build warehouses before any unit production building, espcially if youre going temple first. (Arby Recomended build would be WH, Temple, WH, WH, while building suicide grunts and upgrading to Citadel when possible to go into double summit/single summit shield/ single summit WH - then transition to banshees/vampires/full rage build depending on the situation of the game) 3)If your suicide grunts get stuck, try moving local/all units instead of moving them individually to get them "unstuck". 4)If ya gonna play arby - rage :) 5)If ya gonna play arby - rage :) 6)If ya gonn.. look arby rage is the most broken thing in this game. Literally the meta is shaped by arby rage. Thats why D-bombs are so important, thus why UNSC is so important in a teams game, and why warthogs arent overly broken if theres an arby on the enemy team, and heck even tanks need to save there cannies for an Arbiter and ensure they hit on target, otherwise arby can just rage it all down one by one while healing off of it. A good arby anyway. 7) Most importantly- dont take what Im saying seriously cuz its an old game anyway and it doesnt really matter. Im just talking about it cuz I love this game and even if it is dead, its a treat to share my knowledge of the game to whomever reads this to the end :) If youre interested in great halo content, I reccomend MarcoStyle, Kihz, LimitzHalowars, and metaloidmonkey. Even I have two vids up on my channel of some mid tier gameplay, though its rough around the edges. secret 8th pointer: Have fun.

Always lock you bases when you are getting attacked. It gives your bases defensive buffs and makes them take longer to kill, allowing you to get more units and resources from them. When you base get to 1/3 to 1/4 health unlock your base so you troops can get out. If the base is locked and gets destroyed, all the units in the base die as well.

when i played Halo Wars, i never felt that either "side" had any particular unfair advantage over the other. certain leaders, not necessarily on the same "side", became a bit overpowered when their unique traits were used in conjunction, but that is kind of the point in having this kind of game with multiplayer: finding a leader that you like to play as, find other people you like to play with, and having fun playing the game. an example would be when a friend of mine played cutter, and went almost entirely infantry with a few cobras, while i was playing the prophet, and used a mix of hunters and vampires. if our opponents went for Scarabs or Vultures, he knocked them down to size and provided targets for them to waste time killing, while i brought in the glassing beam and vampires to finish them off, while our combined armies dealt with their reinforcements. not a perfect strategy, but it got the job done. i loved playing against my brother, the only strategy he ever employed was using the humans super units, odsts, grizzlys, and hawks, to try to overwhelm his opponents mid to late game. it was so much fun hit and running him, and countering his late game!

I was never able to get a handle on the covenant but the UNSC was hella tough in this game. Cheese strats for UNSC: 1. Forge- bum rush grizzlies. Never stop building grizzlies 2. The old guy- ODSTs... ODSTs everywhere. 3. Anders- Max veteran Spartans in 3 hawks can destroy any base in under 15 seconds

Two scarabs with a couple locusts are completely broken. The game even encourages you to do it by giving you an achievement if you win with that setup.

My favorite Arbiter tactic: 1. Build Temple, then all Factories (upgrade them ASAP) 2. Send Arby over to the enemy base and rush base damage upgrade (I think the first one is Vicious Blades?), then burn down any units with Rage mode 3. Rancho Relaxo in front of his base. Add Jackals to taste. 4. ?????? 5. PROFIT.

Prophet is the best Covie leader. just upgrade his magical laser beam from the sky, make several Warehouses and go to town on their bases. of course it doesn't work against players but the AI doesn't know what to do when you do that lol

It's funny because there's so many glitches/bs most players don't know about.You can make invicible units and do glitches to make invincible walls or stack units into a clump to share splash damage.Better rage mode on arbiter,running brute chieftain in leader ability, double canny shot and even killing players using your bases turrets. Most broken game ever but still so fun.

For those confused about lore, this Arbiter is not the one from the main series, they are two different people. I feel that I have to say this because there are people who clearly have not read up on the Battle of Harvest and as a result they think that Hell Jumper refers to all ODST when it is actually the term for ODST who fought on Harvest.

Back when I played on 360 I found that in mp most people just did a single-unit spam, usually their best unit. I often did Hawks as Anders or Grizzly's as Forge. Occasionally I'd do Cobras because their Anti-vehicle damage is great, but you'd always have to have at least a couple Wolverines to defend them from Banshee spams. The spams made me kinda sad because my favourite unit in the game is the Vulture, but you can't ever get enough of them quick enough in mp, making Hawks/Hornets more cost-effective.

Glacial Ravine is absolutely broken with a.i because you garrison the middle towers and stall until you have a massive air army or scarabs.

Every tactic has a counter online. Is incredibly balanced; someone spamming grizzlies? You do air support. Scarab and engineer combo? Cryo bomb. Spamming ODST? Jackals and tanks. Had much fun online reaching general playing 3v3 with friends; the standard game lasted 1h with our longest going to 3 hours. If anything it can be too balanced because it can be so hard to break a stalemate

The new one has hella leaders and is fun, but the Covenant get artillery and its the most cheese you get.They're called Blisterbacks, build up to at least 5 then spam engineers. Ive done it and they counter everything, in mobile form (becomes air unit), it can mow aircraft and infantry, but the artillery mode is broken af, at least 4 and no ground unit will survive. I always do it and its insane
