I won my first Trancend game by massive missile barrage. It was a real messy meatgrinder game with constant war on 4 fronts on one huge continent, and I simply sent missiles against each base untill they were empty, and then landed my drop troops. My god, it was so ineffecient, but I made the error of letting the AI build interceptor and AAA units everywhere

Same for me, too. I stockpiled missiles on my first few transcend games. I massed to 203 on one game. I actually wrote that done on my document of "SMAC records". Even though I only had 7 bases, with hybrid forests and only probe teams as a military, it wasn't a problem to support.

Honestly...and I'm not joking,

Why use so many ConMissiles when you can just make a small handful of Planet Busters instead? Sure, you lose the base, but when the enemy base has 20-40 units in it, why bother in taking out each one? Just 'buster the base and take your losses.

If I don't use PB's, I tend to use a whole bunch of ConMissiles.....I think my games ranged to 10 to 14: 1. So 10 ConMissiles equaled 1 Planet Buster. The choice for myself is obvious.
