Halo Wars: Engineers are Over Powered
I mean seriously if a player using the Covenant doesn't leader rush you all the do is build a scarab and put a -blam!- ton of engineers on it. Then the scarab is invincible. If you try to kill the engineers then the scarab kills you while the engineers heal themselves. Even using super carpet bomb, super MAC, and super cryo doesn't kill them. There needs to be a limit on the number of engineers each person can make. Maybe 10 at a time. Discuss Halo Wars ITT.

Mass Cobra trap. All shoot the scarab at once, instant kill.

I know the best strategy to beat anyone in Halo Wars.. Know what it is? Don't play the game! You can't lose, if you don't play. :P [Edited on 05.29.2012 6:45 AM PDT]

Early on in the game, send a few units over to their base and destroy their temple. Rinse and repeat as long as you need to; just keep your strike-force close-by the base and attack every few minutes. Make sure the units can get in and out quick, too.
-
Also, fully upgraded prophet of regret + 1 scarab + engineers pwns or 2 scarabs 1 prophet and a few engineers once you get a second or third base with enough resources coming in you can just glass through them :D
-
Play Cutter, Get the 4x Mac Blast. Bye bye Engineers/ half the Scarabs health.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RETROGHO5TY Erecting a dispenser![/quote] :D Also I got tired of Halo Wars multiplayer, was all about rush tactics it seemed, nothing else seemed to work in that game... Also I remember playing online once, and this guy had like 3 grizzly tanks with spartans... was so annoying cause every time I was about to kill them he'de run off before I could finish the job and usually by that time his buddy had me backing off with another army of tanks...

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] PandaJerk007 Since I haven't played Halo Wars in forever, I'll just propose the strategies that I remember always being destroyed by: Super tough and powered up Arbiter Hawk/Gauss Warthog rush by Anders[/quote] lol This is pretty much what I did. Nothing like a nice squad of warthogs with gauss cannons to roll around and do some damage. As for the OP's question I only played a couple games online because those people are just too -blam!- good.

Wolverines, Hawks and cryo bomb. I mainly play Anders, so it's simple for me to handle.

Do the same strategy right back. That wasn't so hard, now was it?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mercurial Force The problem with Halo Wars was the "god" units, the ones that are unbeatable should the opponent spam them. I'm talking about ODSTs, the upgraded Hornets, etc. That's not good balance.[/quote] What are you talking about? Wolverines/Vampires destroy Hawks, Scorpions/Jackals destroy ODSTs, Cobras/Banshees/Hunters kill Grizzlies/Scorpions. Everything has a counter.

It nearly killed one scarab but the engineers kept it from dying.

Wait, you let them get enough resources for a Scarab and twenty Engineers? I say you deserve to get smashed for sitting on your hands the whole game.
-
I play Halo Wars you dicks. And no. Just build only anti air and when the engineers are done the Scarab will fall. Sure it's hard and you need a good team, but not impossible.

If you're so great at it then tell me: How do you stop them?[/quote] Wolverines cryo and mac blast should do the trick, super cryo actually kills all the engineers.[/quote] It didn't. Who brought this back I thought it died?
