Just a quick acknowledgment of the bots (twice now). I don't know why they targeted Nomads. Just report then ignore if they're in the way, Storm works fast. And DON'T CLICK THEIR LINKS I know that sounds incredibly dumb but they wouldn't do it if it didn't work sometimes. DO NOT. They aren't actually that annoying they aren't disguising them as real posts and it gets fixed right away so just move on.
That was already taken care of and I remember it being pretty obvious. Anyways, just be level 1 internet savvy people.
Turnabout is fair play I suppose. Maybe the Heckler will be a deserter from Yu-Jing and this is prerelease hype What's interesting to me is that all the bots are flooding into the first subforum they find under each link off the main page, just like when they hit Pan-O. But under the English Human Sphere they hit us halfway down the page instead.
When I saw a post by Loricus called spam bots I excitedly clicked thinking it would be a cool high order REM list. Now I am disappointed
I actially only own 2 Zonds and a Servant. And I never use the Zonds! Trying hard not to let this get to my head. Glad someone likes my posts!
I'm no Ioricus but I'm more than happy to turn this into a REMspam thread. The mysterious "nautical zond" is the Tunguska unit I'm most looking forward to. I've been wanting to run something like this for a while now: Spoiler: List A Nomads ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 10 INTERVENTOR Hacker Lieutenant (Hacking Device Plus) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 25) ZOE & PI-WELL . (0 | 47) ZOE (Hacking Device. UPGRADE: Stop!) Combi Rifle, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 28) PI-WELL Combi Rifle / Electric Pulse. (0 | 19) ZONDBOT Electric Pulse.

(0.5 | 25) TOMCAT Engineer Combi Rifle + Light Flamethrower, D-Charges + 1 Zondcat / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 26) ZONDCAT Electric Pulse. (4) 5.5 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army It's primarily a defensive list focusing on B2 flashpulse/Feuerbachs in ARO and repairing any bot that goes down. The main offensive tool is the SML locked via Sat-lock, Spotlight, or plain Forward Observer. The transductors are your friends for enabling that with repeater/sensor. Once the transductor's overextend and get shredded the Tsyklons can use their pitchers to reestablish the forward hacking area. Weaknesses: Super obvious lieutenant. Enemy KHD will be a problem between your repeater net and Zoe's 0 BTS. Remember that EVO allows you to use a coordinated order for hacking. If you can reveal a KHD with your sensor bots you need to knock it out ASAP.
There's no such thing as an ARO guy and everyone can ARO. Depends on the set up. Ideally a guy I'm using for ARO is never shot at and doesn't have or need a concept of winning against an opponent that wants to be there. Horizontal AROs and indirect AROs (like Koalas or hacking) can slow down powerful troops and light mobile guys get melted by DTW cuz I'm playing Wildcats and Geckos, no one is easy to kill. Hard to explain without a game demonstration. Here's sort of a genericized list that I've been playing the last couple months. HRL is the closest to an ARO troop who is there largely to screw with Impetuous guys and armor that isn't good at F2F. Geckos, who can only be put in a bad range with a sniper and can't easily be taken down with SK Combis (who are big dangers to horizontal AROs) because of armor. Wildcat Spitfire also tries to see across my DZ. Then Geckos Chaincolts and 2 Wildcat Hacker/No2 with LFT stop light guys from stalking around without taking free hits. Intruder HMG hides but cover their backs to stop smoke BS. For units like Saito, Oniwaban, Fiday, and Speculo. Because I have actual Camo and not just Mimetism they either need to lose out on their token to discover me or I wait until they are drawing a different ARO at the same time. E.g. Saito (I mostly fight him) smokes a Wildcat to get past the DTW and to CC and as he enters CC I shoot my HMG.
