Hard Choice
« on: November 18, 2011, 11:27:00 am »
Hello AI War comunity and arcen staff
I'm a newbie player to AI War, but played other RTS/Strategy games such as Warzone 2100, Warcraft III, Sins of a Solar Empire and Star Trek Legacy.

On this map there's a Zenith Dyson Sphere on the same planet of a Broken Regenerator Golem and an Advanced Research lab, i've freed the AI on that planet so the sphere is supplying me with that floating gatling guns :P, but now there a hard choice, colonize the planet, capture the ARL and take it out there and hold the sphere attacks until the golem is repaired or ignore it.

Something like this happened before, i have enabled Zenith Miners and two spawned on my territory and one on an adjacent AI planet, i succesfully defeated the zenith miner on my planets but when i gone to the one in enemy territory i had to attack the miner while the AI eye spawned zombies.
Of course i couldn't destroy it,the jungle planet became a ball of lava and all force fields shutted down because of the supply issue, after that i took the planet with ease.

What you think i should do?

All you need to do to collect the golem and the ARS is just colonize the planet for half a second.  When you start building the Command Station both the broken golem and research station will switch sides, then scrap your station and rebuild the golem at your own pace.

Yep, this.  So it's secret option C. ;)

Sure.  Be ready to defend yourself.  But once your command station is gone, it won't be enraged anymore (you'll just have to deal with whatever gatlings it spawned while it WAS enraged, since those will stay mad until you kill them).

infact, if you pause the nano-second you gain control of the system and scrap the command station, you can capture the ARS & golem without producing a single agro dyson
