So how do you counter it?

I just had a game against Masari... 2 games actually. I won by rushing my walkers into his base and smashing them to pieces before they could conjure up their damned Masari powers

But there were Inquisitors... and they took out a few hardpoints while I was mostly helpless.

Mike.nl,

thanks for answering all my questions. that was cool of you.

The one thing that bothers me is that the Walkers are way too slow.

What did you use to record your videos?

If anyone knows some free video-capture software that will work in-game, and on Windows Vista, please let me know and I'll toss up some videos as well, if people would like.

That was a great match for that person only playing his 3rd time. (Yea I was reading your chat when I could make it out :-p). If he knew how to make the most out of the Viruses on yuor walker, you'd of lost. He lost Vertigo to easily.... I wonder if Vertigo can VC a walker's hardpoint, or even better yet the whole walker.

I only watched the first 2 vids of the match (since it takes forever for it to load a9 minute video), but what i saw was awesome. The way that Walker dropped in was damn impressive! Frank K's music sure as hell suited the match...the actual fight itself was interesting, can't wait for this baby to come out!

Thank you for that video, it was very educational. I enjoy playing the Heirarchy the most, they are my favorite faction. I've been playing the beta since Friday and so far, after about 20 skirmishs, I am undeafeated

In the video I learned:

-The Recon guy has the ability to unveil FoW
-Defilers had a secondary attack
-How to capture buildings with the brute
-How effective the armor upgrades were on Walkers
-How powerful the flying saucers attack is
-Researching the middle things 2x will allow you to launch artillery
-How to fire artillery/How effective artillery actually is.

Generally, my games last me about 15 minutes, my fastest being 8.

The only thing about your strategy is how you failed to max out on your resources gathering units. At one point, you only had two at a time and stayed like that for about 5-7 minutes, without building another one. You were low on resources throughout most of the game, which could have been aleviated if more resources walkers were built ahead of time, ESPECIALLY since were not rushing. It's also a good idea that the first research project that you should perform is to arcs for AA, since Novus have the tendancy to tech to air asap, but this research should be done after the building of at least two resource gatherers.

That's my 2 cents, and I'm sure that are quite a few other tips I could point out, but I gtg take a shower.

GG and I enjoyed watching it.
