i'm actually quite surprise there is no scout in your 1st bomber BO, i'm really afraid you can't really deal a lot of damage, if you reveal your bomber on the first path without droping, and then having issue to know where are the other engie spreading around the map.
Early scout can tell your opponent that you're going for a bomber especially because it's so quick and will make him get ready to dodge with engies. Plus the radar on the bomber and sending it to expansions is enough to find more.
BrutalMoustache There is no radar on bomber. You can build the scout after the bomber so it reach opponent base just before bomber and therefore give little time for your opponent to react.
Loki has a good map-specific BO (reclaim-based 5pgen second air fast bomber) that has become sorta meta in 2014 standard first air bomber first counters this. the bomber hit the engineers next to the hydro reclaiming the jungle, which will make the 5pgen user stall. if the enemy air is delayed, you can bomb the pgens, too, and make it even worse for him. plus the bomber can kill the rock-reclaiming engineer going for the 3-mex expansion under the base on the way home. so yes, it'd definitely work. could be troublesome if you run into a raid-centric triple-land setup though
I nearly don't see first bomber on loki, mainly because this BO on loki allow you to get an inte really early, able to counter the first bomber pretty well. (you can even switch to inge production on the air facto if you lost engie reclaiming trees, to not powerstall) i think it would do well against a third, even if the third air is not that late thx to engie reclaiming trees
i've seen the DnD clan use it on seton's and it worked, but you should probably tell your team up front, get their feedback, and make sure everyone knows this game will be out of the box
i'm not really sure about that, usually maa kill a bomber in 1 path. I try to avoid as much as possible the maa with my bomber. But people need to remember maa now cost as much as 2 maa, so building like 4 maa is like 8 maa (previous patch)
Just watched, was pretty amusing. If they'd been more on-the-ball I think you might've been a little late -- Heaven does transport before bomber, which I think is a good idea because then you can load transport while bomber completes, and you also hang around for a bit with the transport before sending it at them. Still, nice execution, and it certainly shows that it works!
So that’s what that guy did!! Was playing on gap and this one dude destroyed the enemy team with an Israel drop.
when you doing these videos could you show the score tab, so we can see the timing?
sorry i can't, the score tab is offscreen
Excuse me! You forgot first jester!
:O

Oh wow you're right! Sorry I haven't played in a while. That's a valid thing to do now then. I was so used to them having radar. Rip bomber radar :(
you're right, i forget that all the time XD
WEEEEELL
i just micro and hope for the best ._.
On the early air spam. How well would it work on the Loki map? I'd imagine quite well but just to check :)

Hey man are u using any mods?
Does the final build work for locking mid player on Setons clutch?
i've seen the DnD clan use it on seton's and it worked, but you should probably tell your team up front, get their feedback, and make sure everyone knows this game will be out of the box
Ahh ok. I'm actually not in a team, in fact I'm just an 800 player, so setons are quite relaxed in the first 5 minutes at my level.
does exotic build n1 work on EoTS?
I think you should go second air on EOTS. DLHR doesn't seem promising there
Isn't t1 maa buffed in hp so you can't bomb them in 1 pass anymore?
yeah, but microed bomber still beats small amounts of unmicroed MAA
i'm not really sure about that, usually maa kill a bomber in 1 path. I try to avoid as much as possible the maa with my bomber. But people need to remember maa now cost as much as 2 maa, so building like 4 maa is like 8 maa (previous patch)
just tried the israel drop on gap and their team ragequit :D

How can I see/watch that?
Sandro Martens type #5435062 in aeolus and it should be linked
Nice thanks!
Very well done! xD But what the fuck, there is sooooo much mass in the middle. I think this wouldnt even hurt too much...
People rage quit over anything really, just look at setons
