    Welcome to the boards!! 

    Each experimental unit has it's own strengths and weaknesses.  The Sacred Assault Bot is one of the most leathal ground units in the game.  They are extremely costly to build but can turn the tide of any ground battle in your favor.  The most important thing is to keep support units close to your experimentals to help compensate for some of their weaknesses.  For example, while the Sacred Assault Bot can take on pretty much any other unit in a close quarters battle, but it's range in fairly short, and it can't defend against aircraft.

    I've seen numerous players spend all their mass and energy to get one of these behemiths build, but then has nothing around to support it.  They walk it toward their opponents base thinking they're going to put the fear of god into their opponent just to see several strategic bombers pound the bot into the ground before he fires a shot.

    Keep mobile AA units close by to knock out bombers and gunships that might try to knock him out.  It's always wise to have a group of seige bots and mobile artillery when you launch your attack as well.  After the last patch, there isn't any one unit that you can build that can win you the game (this is arguable).

    Go get SupCom and give it a shot.  It's the best RTS game out there right now.

    Don't hesistate to come back and ask for some pointers.Big Smile

    experimental stuff is really really expensive and really really powerful.  The Galactic Colossus or Sacred Assault Bot (GC) is like a spiderbot: they both shred bases/Commanders (ACU's) with their beam laser whatevers, except the GC is buffer and can vacuum little guys fairly quickly with his arms, thus he naturally cost more and takes more time to build.  Another suggestion I have for you: don't try to get "bunches" of experimental units, if you have to get lots of something get Tech 3 (T3) siege assault bots.  What other RTS games did you play before supcom?

    Moved this thread to the Aeon faction discussion boards.

    When the game first came out, I really didn't give the GC credit. For some reason every time I played with it, I'd lose it. Nowadays though, I gotta say I really like it. Used in conjunction with other units (like T3 siege bots and T2 mobile AA) this guy can really pour on the damage.

    The greatest advantage of the GC is it's Armour as it's 250,000 Pre-Patch.

    (Not sure if it;s changed)

     In comparisson, the monkeylord has armour of only a few thousand.

    Yeah, the armor on the Sacred Assault Bot is definitely one of it's strengths. However, what you gain in armor, you lose in production time. It seems like nowadays Cybran really has the experimentals to beat. I'd much rather a few Spideys supporting my troops than a Sacred Assault Bot. Also, maybe they updated it, but doesn't the Colossus not have any anti-air? I recall having one previously that got wooped by some gunships (but that was, after all, pre-patch...)

    Personally I like the Monkeylord beause it has some decent AA and two really really long ranged cannons, and it's much faster than the GC.

    Yes, the GC just is to slow and gets hammerd by air assualts.

    The monkeylord on the otherhand is more versatile and has 65000 hp , which {correct me if i'm wrong} is the second highest in the game.

    No. the Cybran Crab bot has 110000HP withut Rank Bonus, the Soul Ripper has 90000HP without Rank Bonus and then the Monkeylord comes in with 65000HP without rank bonus.
