[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="65" id="3292700"] Depends on what your opponent does, but all else being equal the Advent Corvettes, Light Frigates and Defense Vessel is probably their best ship comparatively. Illuminators were OP for a long time but since late in Diplomacy, and thus all of Rebellion, they're probably the worse long ranged frigate. Advent carrier cruisers are good and early but you really need a good number of them to hit a critical mass to be effective. Carrier c

Something else that i am curious about is what the standard game type is online? 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, 5v5? which one is most popular or "standard"

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="62" id="3292640"] Your first two caps will probably be a Progenitor and a Halcyon (like every other race). Discord is a good third pick for offense, a Rapture for defense or if you're carrier spamming. The Radiance should only be built when your opponent builds a titan or has a lot of capitalships for detonate antimatter. As for the Revelation... well you should probably never build one.[/quote] Would you say that carrier spamming is good ea

[quote who="Mr_Book" reply="58" id="3292570"] This brings up an excellent point. You can NOT become truly competitive against human opponents by practicing against AI. Humans do not mass attack against your single strong point over and over again, and yet at hard enough difficulties the AI does it at a level that requires you to focus solely on defense until it's strong enough to repel the repeated attacks. This actually has a NEGATIVE effect on you

What are some competitive research paths/early game strats with AL? Am i supposed to fleet up or research or go for economy?

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="57" id="3292560"] Quoting Traivegrace, reply 55I always read about synergies, but i have never gotten a really good explanation on what they are. In a Multiplayer 1v1 what would you consider a good AL startup that is not a rush to kill, if i wanted to rush my opponent then i would play Starcraft 2. Synergies are just using ships that combo together, mostly by buffing each other. I.e. having your entire fleet under shield projection while a progenit

I think i really started something by asking how i did vs the AI. I don't want to learn how to beat the AI, i want to learn how to play well. Practicing against the AI is just because i don't always have the time to play for a couple hours straight and sometimes i have to pause or save and come back. I want to learn a good early game strat for the AL and then how to be competitive against Vasari in the late game.

Either way when i play with my friends what is a good way to play Advent Loyalists? I really like trying to get a strong early economy but i leave myself open to early rushes i think. Also should i plan a different strat againt human players who play Vasari? Advent Loyalists really don't have many good options until the mid game. Now that

Fiar enough about not really caring about single player lol! Either way when i play with my friends what is a good way to play Advent Loyalists? I really like trying to get a strong early economy but i leave myself open to early rushes i think. Also should i plan a different strat againt human players who play Vasari? I currently play the same way i played against the AI when i play VS other people so any tips or criticism to improve my play would be awesome. &n

I would like some play advice! I haven't played multiplayer yet because i mostly play for leisure and with friends, but i really like playing the Advent Loyalists and i played against an unfair AI that was the Vasari rebals and they smashed on me completely. I know i didn't fleet up early enough, but i don't know the best way how. Any tips you could give and possible strategies would be appreciated. Also besides the jumping Orky Vasari Rebals seem to have the best upgrades as well
