Not My HQ. Whatever Shall I Do?

I usually go for the HQ just for the fun of it. I must admit that I've never lost my HQ. Until the very end that is. I like the idea of capturing the base, changing the name, and forcing someone like Yang ask for fairy land back. I must agree that if you loose your HQ like was described the chances of victory are really thin.


tyler666 : You need to spend some time in the OT. You would fit in quit well over there with us.

I agree with Sprayber, I love capturing the home bases and I believe the repercussions are severe enough, my only wish would be for some kind of pop-up to say "enemy capitol taken" or something to seperate it from a regular base capture notification wise.

It is great fun to attack directly Your opponent's headquarter. But the HQ is well defended in most cases, so this is useful only when You play a faction with high production (i. e. Hive or Drones), because You will nedd a realyy HUGE attack force. A succesful attack on an enemies HQ will normaly breakt his neck.
Lately, I (playing the Hive) made a D-Day attack directly on Free Drone Central, with an army of more than 30 unites. Four armoured transports, two battleships, four auxiliary cruisers, two AAA-foils, three conventional missiles, four interceptors, four penetrators,
six amphibious shard hovertanks, six marines and two artillery. It was the greatest invasion force I ever build.
I lost 90% of the units during the attack (nearly bite my teeth of on a mindwormd supported by the neural amplifier ) but the last marine took the base with its three SP's. It was the begin of the end of the Drones
