Double/Triple Mobis

[TheGoldenGriffin]

Push and try to kill the sniper, Mobis can't attack, just move around existing units, the less units he has, the more useless his Mobis are.

Also, save wits. Do a few turns without spending wits, because then you'll have 20+ saved up, and attack all at once. Mobi hit and runs, especially this kind, are annoying, but wit-costly. Your opponent won't be able to come back if you kill enough units.

Exactly. Attack. The closer you get to mobis the less advantage they have. Even though mobi hit-n-run are taking out your units it can cost them more because they aren't making any. If they are using multiple mobis, it is probably costing even more because they teleport/retreat more. On top of that, each mobi is costing a couple soldiers they could have had.

Could you provide a replay link? Mag!cguy has plenty of replays!!!

Honestly, I've always found that anything more than 2 mobi's is incredibly wit inefficient. They can be useful if you have wits saved, but unless you end the game quickly they become cumbersome. They cost a lot of wits to make and cant attack. They also cost a lot of wits to use! If he has 3 mobi's then it would take him a wit to move, a wit to attack and a wit to mobi...total wits is 9-(any retrieved for killing you units)..so probably 7 or 8 wits to kills 2 units.

My suggestions:

-"Feed" him. One of may favorite strategies was to "feed" soldiers. I would send out a solider 3 spaces from my spawn and let him double mobi it. It only cost me 3 wits to do this, it cost him 5. THis is more effective on 2 spawn maps, because unit count is not as important.

-Attack, come up with a plan and execute it. If you think he's m,aking another mobi, position you units and attack him AFTER he spawns it. He will be at a wit deficit and less able to counter at this point. If he triple mobi's you attack him AFTER this, for the same reasons I just mentioned.

If it's hard to counter multiple mobis, then the best solution is not to let them get there. Attack effectively, and don't hold back for too long, because if you do, there's tons of things that your opponent can prepare for.

Anyway, I don't even see the double mobi as an effective tactic; if you had that much wits, then use it to ATTACK with your first mobi and other units.

I'm not sure why double mobi wouldn't be a valid tactic for some one-spawn maps. Granted it can be countered, but if the opponent was turtling, it could be used to weaken them, or drill a hole to do a mobi + sniper attack on the base.
