Defence

[Rlayphius]

I normally use germany cuz they make stuff fast what is the best team to use?? your opinion. and i want to know whats the best defence agains stelths cuz "sam" do nothing. and whats teh best thing to use to stop tanks and ground forces getting into your base when its got no ground forces to protect it?

There really is no "best team" A lot of people like playing Germany, France, or Russia. Pick a team that has a style you like- Mongols for an early rush, Russia for attrition, China for instant citizens, etc.

The best degenxce against stealth is to not let your opponent get that far . Other than that, have your fighters target the bombers or have them patrol on the flight path to likley targets.

To stop tanks from getting into your base, build an overlaping fort or two. Garrison each with 4 anti-tank rockets. Build a airbase nearby and start cranking out helicopters. When the enemy attacks, target his supply wagons first and then go for the artillery and THEN go for the tanks. make sure you have the attrition upgrades. If you're concerned about ground troops, space a couple machine guns out or leave a tank or two on the sidelines to get flanking damage.

true.

another method is to nuke everything they have with ICBM, it takes them some time to rebuild the structures and bombers ...

Yeah, that's quite right. Airbases are HARD to destroy, so a nuke usually is the best way to go.

So garrisoning certain types of troops in ranged buildings will refect their attributes in the buildings' defenses?

e.g.- a tower assaulted by cav. will fare better stocked w/ fusiliers than one stocked w/ muskets?

If your cranking out helicoptors, stuff anything else. They mow through tanks so fast its like a hot knife through butter. Take the tanks out first then everything else.

I love this plan. Love it, love it, love it. Nuke everything.

Stealth bombers can't be targeted by ground units/buildings, so you need to atk them with fighters.

Use the nuking strategy wisely. Nock a path to the enemies capiotal, and then just send in a mass of infantry. A lot will die in a straight rush to the capital, but you'll win the day in most online games. Poorly used nukes can hurt you more than your enemy (in resources, knowledge, time). Remember -the center of a city usually isn't the best spot!
