  : Is the general concensus of you people that the Aurora Alpha ers are too good? I think they are, and I was wondering if you share my views.

  they are effective especially when u r SW but dont forget they cost alot and can be destroyed after they hit , 3 aururas can destroy a nuke but how much do they cost comparing to a nuke ;) ? got my point ? just make sure u destroy them after they hit their target and u r a winner

    But if they destroy your AA first, then it doesn't matter. If they are microed right, they are nearly impossible to shoot down.

      If you are Air gen. then they should never build a tech center. And in 1v1 anyway its very ez to rush SW general amd kill them way b4 they get out alphas.

        Just another balance idea: Make the GLA build a radar tower before they can build a supply center. It would cost 500 dollars, and build fairly quickly, but the idea would be to increase their tech time just a bit. I was Tank general vs. a Toxin one time, and I teched to a war factory and a dragon tank as fast as I could. About ten seconds after the dragon came out, two technicals showed up. The GLA can get their arms dealer too fast, and then those stupid technicals move too fast. Their isn't anything USA and China can do about a fast technical rush. Even if the USA tries to go Comanches, the technical can probably get there by the time the airfield is done, harrass the dozers, and then he comes with quad cannons, and you are screwed because you don't have a war factory. Does anyone have ideas on how to stop the technical rush as USA or China?

        On a side note, if we spammed EA tech support with e-mails requesting another patch, do you think they would listen? If all of us started sending them a few messages per day asking for a patch, maybe they would do something.

        Sorry to rant so much, but this GLA rush cheese is getting on my nerves. :)
