Cybran Experimental Units

QUANTUM GATEWAY

A thoroughly unremarkable building except for its low cost – that’s OK, because subcommanders don’t come cheap. Originally intended to also teleport units across the map, this function was later changed to an upgrade for ACU/SCUs.

MONKEYLORD – SPIDERBOT

Spiderbots are in the position of Total Annihilation’s Krogoth robot: they have no real weaknesses except that they won’t win the game alone. This is why they work best in packs. The Cybrans’ silly emphasis on stealth really pays off here as your spiderbots can suddenly appear at the edge of an enemy’s Omni range, giving you very little time to scramble your land units and meet them head on. Although they have anti-air capability, it’s not enough to save it from a horde of gunships, so make sure you have some fighters to capitalize on the inevitable air assault on your Monkeylord. The Microwave Laser basically kills anything it touches, but your main damage source is actually the bolt guns that auto-target while your laser sweeps across their defensive line slowly. The Monkeylord can get confused by a single unit right behind it, but it’ll crush units beneath its feet if they get too close.

SOUL RIPPER – GUNSHIP

A Soul Ripper doesn’t have the instant kill potential of a Czar or a Revenant attack force, but its health allows it to chew up enemy experimentals and bases alike. You’ll actually want multiple Soul Rippers to make sure you can survive enemy fighters and SAM sites, however, as its anti-air is ineffective. Send a few spy planes and if the enemy has neglected air defense, a Soul Ripper is an unpleasant surprise for their ACU.

SCATHIS – MOBILE RAPID FIRE ARTILLERY

The Scathis is extremely expensive and its range means that it probably can’t fire from your base straight to the enemy’s, and it requires an economy that’s sufficiently advanced to have four spare reactors, but its ability to rain down artillery fire faster than shields can recharge means that it’s a must-kill unit that is actually rather difficult to kill outside of strategic bomber strikes. You’ve invested so much in it, at least pay for a stealth field and lots of defenses!
