But in some recent experiments I've been getting great results from 2 and 3 immune races, after making some radical changes to the way I actually played the races in testbeds.

3 immune AR giving good results?
|
It performs a lot better than I'd previously thought. To make it work, it required some big changes to the way I was playing... For example don't even try to wait for 25% hold lol. Export and colonise aggressively from the start, and it can produce some startling results - it's VERY FAST in early game (into the 2420's) but suffers in mid-game from sluggish growth... Should become awesome in the late game, but I would expect the race to be killed in that long mid-game period while it struggles with it's extreme low growth rate.
I took some of the same design and play styles into a 2-immune AR and found a nice boost in performance...
I eventually dug further and experimented with using the concepts I'd learned in a 1-immune race. What I found was that a race I wouldn't even have bothered testbedding before, plays nicely...
Quite amusing really - I've previously been a big advocate of 1i AR races. Then I experimented with 3i and 2i, found strength... Then stole the best ideas I found from those styles to make a better 1i I must be a 1i fanboi
The 1i race is in a game right now, so I don't want to go into more detail... It does feel a lot more robust than my last AR outing. It had a poor start, but still managed to chew over some quite serious attempts to hurt it pre-weap12. It's currently 2470 and the top ranked 3i HE over on the other side of the universe is waving a pitchfork and calling it a monster. I don't believe him and am waving my own pitchfork right back at him, but my fingers are crossed that I will be proven wrong.
