Mechabellum - Two Million Insight?!

I'm drn and this is our third game in this week's tournament, we're going up against goldmaster who has two million Insight! Lets see if we can beat him whilst tempting him into parting with a portion of his horde.
Anything you think I've done wrong or could do better please let me know, I'm always looking to improve both my gameplay and the video quality. Thanks again for watching!

Goo win! Love the editing humor as always it just keeps getting better and better

Wild! Got to see this match live but so much better with the commentary. Love your analyzing thoughts, you single handedly got me into this game!

[@Drone_101]

Haha cheers for the support Kroep! It's always a honour to share my love for the game and life itself with others. Hope you're having as much fun smashing giant mechs into each other as I do :D

[@danenobile4686]

+D and victory. I didnt notice the massive lack of anti air until you said it, and you kept piling it on. So many boats with cannons. No easy recovery from that and shut down those massive scorpions. Great game and love the commentary! Wish you the best of luck and all the Sledgehammers!

[@Drone_101]

Haha, yeah - sometimes I don't notice what I've written or said until it's out in the wild! Need to think before I speak sometimes. Thanks for the support, hope you get all the Sledgehammers too!

Man, I think I fail to build Giants early enough when I am giant spec as well. Good tip.

[@Drone_101]

Yeah, keep trying to play standard and forget I'm Giant Spec and should be rushing for getting those early hard-to-answer Giants on the board! Have started checking my specialist every few rounds to remind myself, find it funny watching myself doing it during editing :D

Man came with a plan. It wasn't a good plan. But it was his plan and he stuck to it. Can respect that.

@@Drone_101 i like to imagine myself confusing my enemies by playing suboptimally purely to make them frown and think "tf this guy doin" lmao

[@phteven_steven]

Love your commentary, it's easy to follow and a pleasure to listen to. I hope you'll do other RTS games as well, because I would love to hear your tactics in the games :D

[@Drone_101]

Oh my, I'm not an expert by any stretch even in the game I do play regularly so can't promise to the quality of my analysis and tactics in other titles. Will admit have considered doing other games for some variety and fun but Mechabellum is what I've been enjoying an awful lot of lately!

[@phteven_steven]

@@Drone_101 Tbh learning with you in other titles would also be interesting. I just recently got into rts and your "thinking out loud" really helps to get into the game :3 But I'll will be gladly watching any of your content.

@@phteven_steven Thanks! Appreciate it, hope you enjoy the genre as much as I do!

2 million insight?!? And i saw amygdalas everywhere with just 40

[@Drone_101]

Yep, never seen anyone with this much before. It's honestly impressive.

[@Logicon1138]

This game looks insane, might grab it next payday :)

[@Drone_101]

It's great fun but please make sure you're sorted for food, shelter and fuel first! Real life always comes first.

[@TheH0U53]

Nice game! Love the overwhelming strategy haha

[@Drone_101]

Bury them in value! Giants for days! :D

[@sensha5470]

It's a shame you don't run mothership. With that many boats it'd be amazing. Cannon was probably the better choice anyway tho and these sorts of scenarios are pretty rare. Generally tho, this was absolutely a one sided card-win lol. For the sake of feedback, I do think you were a little light on upgrades. It makes sense why, but as wise man once said "Double the stats for half the price" and personally I think that pushing the 3rd unit is usually worse than upgrades. A level 2 scorpion is alot scarier than more chaff when your chaff is already surviving a decent while

[@Drone_101]

Yeah, decided to take Mothership off the boats because when you go Carry Boats sometimes you need Cannons and sometimes you need Launcher Overload + Range, can't really afford to drop any of those three and then Photon Emission is Photon Emission! Think the level ups are a tough call and depends on the game. I really value having as many bodies on the board as possible. Always aiming to hit 2 units a turn minimum but often going for the full 3. Double the stats are great but sometimes you just want as many bodies on the board as you can. As Giant Specialist I wasn't going to invest too much into the Scorpions because we have bigger tools in the box so to speak, and why fight a mirror match up when you can just hard counter their carry? Was my line of thinking anyway. Thanks for all the feedback though, discussion really does help me focus on decisions and think about lines I wouldn't normally play. Hope we can all keep on improving and pushing ourselves on!

[@sensha5470]

@@Drone_101 fair enough. Even though I said scorpion up there I was thinking more about the snipers, but even then the same deal. Like I said, "makes sense why," I already saw the line of thinking and kinda half agree that upgrading them was unnecessary, I just don't think the third unit is a very good investment, esp when it's just crawlers while your chaff is already healthy. That could also be partly cause of playstyle though. I hardly value unit count and usually prioritize the what, selling pretty liberally when a unit is unnecessary (esp unupgraded units, like those scorps)

So early, the encoding is all messed up. Edit: its fixed now

[@TheH0U53]

Seems I came in at the perfect time

[@Drone_101]

Not sure what happened here to be honest. Video looks fine for me and was uploaded and encoded last night so there shouldn't be an encode delay on youtubes side. Let me know if it happens again and I'll look into it further, thanks.
