Defending against the rush attack

Major Miner · Developing Poster

Any hints?

Try as I might, I just cannot build a base QUITE as fast as the fastest here, on say a map like BiT 1v1. So, if the other guy rushes, I'm screwed.

Any viable defense against this?

wonderer · Let The Truth Be Told

Yea their hints try hard to copy them.

counter attack?

Hint fight that person that keeps rushing you. Quit after a few mins to see how many bases he has or tanks may take a few losess but you well find your Answer

Lol hint hint Brian? I know he's basic strategy for unlimited money I almost had him when my game crashed, like I said there r building glitches, and getting vtss are key in unlimited money maps, my strategy is to build a power gen four vtss and then another gen, two more vtss then a research, and if done with speed this takes no time at all;)

You mean unlimbit 1v1? Well hint is build faster, sorry if i dont give you chance whenever we play 1v1. I just dont want to come to a point when im about to beat you i get disconnect, thats why whenever i play someone else or you i try to attack asap becuase i never know when i will get disconnected or not.

Building glitches? I don't think I've heard about this. How many players know about this? Oh well, I'm sure it's not really something to worry about because if it's true and a lot of players know about it, it must be a minor thing otherwise we'd have different top 25 ever month.

wonderer · Let The Truth Be Told

Solution if scottlu won't rest their scores well take his points off the leaderboard lollollol but I'm sure police told him to stop playing us after I beat him they(bit) had a long meeting. Warkilla I'll stop messing with you I though just because you have that many games you would be good but I forgot to take into consideration that most of your matches were agains your clan members.

Val Ialready posted what it is. It does increase speed.

wonderer · Let The Truth Be Told

Explain cause people don't do it to me so I can't learn I want to learn some little trick of the trades

1) explore map - important to see where rush will come from. also see what level of production your opponent is at (how many VTS he have?)
2) match your opponents production - build equal amount of VTS so you can build units just as fast.
3) try to counter-attack away from base - keep the fight away from your buildings to minimize losing them. DO PROTECT HQ.
4) defend the flank - watch for attack from side/behind
5) build defensive units - cyclops + rocket troops
6) adapt to the rush - build the unit that will easily destroy what they rush with.

Dr. Slimjim's guide to surviving against rush attacks in 100k limits:

1. Make three VTSs and DON'T start making broadswords after you make your three eagle scouts.
2. Make an R&D and research VTS ASAP. While this is happening make a generator and another VTS.
3. Make many hydras and make more VTSs to get more hydras.
4. If you did this all superfast (and you really gotta do it superfast) you will have an adequate defense against a broadsword rush attack.
5. Above all have your three eagle scouts constantly scouting the map!!! It's mega-important that you do this!!!

Why waste time using scouts when You can do the rush attack

and the 3min rule

slimjimninja · Veteran Member

Yeah that's why it says "limits" at the top.

Mithoz · Forum Conqueror

Your basing your defended on maps that are fairly large. Playing maps like tight budget, crazy or unlimbit where the teams are based fairly close to each other is hard to defend. Even that arena unlimited FFA map I played last night is rushable

For these maps you mention, the trick is to rush. if you try to defend, 90% chance you lose against a good player. so just rush.

ya the defense strategies above work for larger maps (100k limits)

Mithoz · Forum Conqueror

I remember when I used to be one of the best at crazy, you could defend rush attacks easily cos you had 4 hq, you can build fast and still pwn by upgrading. That map you could rush faster by upgrading than not.. Lol.

Dr. Diggles · Very Active User

Oh ya.. always upgrade crazy, then nom nom nom

galm · ForeRunner

Defense is one of the best strategies on unlimbit! Get to limit reached and make as wide an arc as possible so there is no way they can flank u, then in the time before try attack u can make your buildings in a nice position.

Mithoz · Forum Conqueror

the main stragergy for unlimbit is to build as high up as possible. get the advantage of the high ground luls

That happens with me too and i get pizzed and quit the game. I can never practice to get better against online opponents because they keep doing that. Im glad i found someone who has the same problem. Idk how to help but if u get some tips then tell them to me please.
