Battle tanks should fight instead of boring tactics

[Morkardar]

Upgrading troops is very expensive.
3400 for both upgrades increase by 1.
This means for 2 upgrades on both sides you can buy a laser.
And without factory of your own a upgrade is worth nothing.
A factory costs 3500.
Let's see... how to counter factories?
Destroy them or buy cheap unit killer (bow).
Sure... it brings the enemy team advantage to have more and better creeps.
But your team should have the money spent in other stuff making it fair again, or you are just not as good as them.

Tower defence... I seen a lot of people taking me down with a single 400 gold mortar reinforcement.
I prefer buying orbitals to kick towers.
Or simply outdmg enemy.
Ever tried 1050 range and smoke generator? Works fine too.
What about heavy tank? Goblin Tank is working fine too.
Or Earth Robot earth quake?
I see a lot of counters here.

For trader, I agree I cannot stop a good trader.
I once had a trader in my game and I took helicopter to get him.
By time he outleveled me and had more money, cause I chased him.
Sure I got him sometimes, but he flew 5 times to goldmine and had speedpack.
If you could disassemble trader hunter pack again, maybe more people would use it.

With fighting I think you mean tank-to-tank-combat.
In late game it is all about that.
Had games with my whole base gone where only fights and firepower made me a win.


Summed up:
I think btanks is a good map as it is.
Just there are not enough players (waiting like 10 minutes for a full game on Northrend)
