You investigate a secluded military lab and find something horribly wrong! All of the scientists are missing and the facility is ransacked. Years of research and top secret classified experiments are no where to be found.

In multiplayer, once your opponent has built a mega unit such as the Rapier, how can you defend your base? AA guns will eventually shoot it down, but not before it causes massive damage. And then once you finally shoot it down, the Rapier explodes in a massive fireball and takes out your base anyway. Is there any way to defend against the mega units, or is it pretty much the case that whomever builds a mega unit first is pretty much going to be the winner? Steve |

All mega units should be able to be defeated by an equal costing force of counter units, so if a Rapier costs 9k then you should be able to defeat it with roughly 9,000/500 = 18 Raptors. Some units are weaker though, for example the Black Widow is much weaker (per cost) than the Raptor because it has cloaking ability. To specifically defend against a rapier I suggest a few M300s and a few Raptors or Hornets, if you have several Air Factories ready to build then creating the Raptors just in time shouldn't be a problem. Is may very well be the case that some Mega units or other units need balancing though. The game shouldn't be over if you have a moderately defended base and some units left. It may just be a sign that you are losing |

You can also play the game with a NO MEGA UNIT mutator.
