I.T.S. and B.O.O.M. tactics

[Scelle]

I am not good at English, but i hope you understand what I want to say

I have created a new tactic.
I.T.S. stands for "Invisible Troop Spawner", but later it can change to B.O.O.M. , wath stands for Big Offensive Only boMber
In a 3k game you have to start with scout (500 gold) and a troop command (2500 gold). Then go to a lane to spawn the creeps there. And creep with the Scout-abilities. But you have to keep in mind: its a Supporter-Tank! Until 90% of the game it wont be able to kill tanks easy. So go to a lane with an other player, if you need protection. You should change the Scout in a Helicopter or an Air Ship when you are on level 6 or 7, maybe earlyer, maybe later! Skill tank cannon and Jet Pulsion. The Ulti, of course. And you can choisce between the creeping ability or the other stuff(Tripple Rockets/Healing Drones).

But to play a game with only a troop command is very hard, so you need a Siege Pack (2500 gold), Weapon and Hull.
Hull, you can take Iron(1250 gold) or Steel(2500 gold), gold(5000 gold) would be to expensive in my opinion.
The Siege Pack and the Troop Command can be combinated into a Advanced troop command(1000 gold), but you have to wait for the forece amour uprades(Level 4).
Weapon: Its a weapon for creeping, so use something with a short cooldown oder projectiles. I prefer the Fire Arrows(3500 gold) . But maybe you find somthing better. Always look at the Yunkjard. There is the cheapest stuff!

Now threre are 3 slots left: One is for smoke generator, to make escaping easy or to sneak into the enemys base.
Next slot: Bomb(3250 gold) If you have killed the towers that can see invisibles with the advanced troop command you can place the bomb. After some weapon upgrades it can destroy 2 factories on one hit! When you are fast enough, you can even escape your own bomb. Helicopter and Air Ship have the Jet Pulsion Ability. When you go bomb the enemies base it should be on Level 4.

The last slot is for another weapon of your choice or for a Orbiltal Control (5000 gold). Very powerfull. You can use it for creeping or destroying buildings or kill weak tanks.
With your last gold you can buy a gold hull later in the game. Very usefull, because the tanks wont get weaker. Also make Amour and Weapon Upgrades. First gives your team better tanks an the last makes the Orbital Control and the Bomb better. Both make your spawned creeps better, of course.

But watch enemies with radar and that stuff! They can disturb and kill you!

Are there comments or suggestions?

call it whatever you want, but that is pretty much what i like to do in every game, with the exception of the orbital command

i'm more of the siege and creep farm type, than foolishly chasing after heroes
1st it's a waste of time.
2nd heroes kills pay out sucks compared to creeping.

it's much more fun to play stealth mode, and KABOOM your base is gone piece by piece
and the pay out is so much higher, as well as experience.

Scout + troop command > airship > multibow > teleport > mortars > upgrade to advanced troop command. I think that's much better because smoke, bomb and orbital control is far too expensive, especially when u have no stun or whatsoever with airship. And u can't expect to bomb the enemys base at level 4. it all depends on your teammates, since u are a supporter.

I have to add something: of course you can kill tanks in the early game
Just spawn your creeps and send them all to an enemy thinker or scout.

And you can use a teleporter(or speed pack) instead of an orbital control.

Played this build several times and this is probably the best way to do it. Problems I've seen:

You're not going to get the air ship before the 10 minute mark, probably around 12 or 13 minutes is when I get it most often. From 8 minutes in until you get your air ship you will be extremely fragile and getting any cash will be difficult. At this point one aoe skill nearly kills your entire troop command if your opponents save it for your use. You can be instantly killed by one triple rocket and one or two weapon hits. You have to be so cautious it's not even funny. It's pretty difficult to not get at least a 0-2 or 0-3 score.

Early leavers ruin this immensely. With fewer players on both sides you will be forced to defend a lane and a CP singlehandedly many times. Problem is that you have no real weapons, and your opponents just have more weapons because of leaver gold.

Also the kick "for balance" will ruin your day. You WILL have more deaths than kills until you get an air ship and get your nuke, and probably until you get your plasma rain (ultimate) too. If your opponents have less players than your team, expect your team to kick the person with the worst record. You.

It also relies way, way too much on your teammates not being awful. Playing this way is pretty fun when it works, but I grew frustrated with it in pubs. I had one decent game with it where I ended up destroying the entire enemy base, but I had great teammates and poor opponents.
