Science Advisory: Do we want Tanks or Bombers first?

Well, the AI lost a swarm of Calvary to my Infenty a couple of nights ago in my own game.

Btw, bombers CAN'T KILL ANYTHING, so they aren't too useful defending an island. We have artillery.

hi ,

no crap , cant they , ..... oh what a shame , ......




they are the best when it comes to defense , imagine we had some in our wars now , we could bomb the crap out of them and then move in with great ease , ....

unlike now , .....

and the AI tends to redraw his seaunits when they are damaged , thus therfore returning its invasion force and buying time , .... and at the same time we could recon the areas that lay around us , .......

artillery has a shorter range and less effect in some cases

have a nice day

If we owned the continent, yes flight would be a better option. With airports on all major cities, each city can instantly transfer a unit onto a zulu foothold city if we had one, therefore we can keep expansion flowing.

Since this isnt the case, airport's value is somehwta less. We have railroad so we dont need airport of the most part. Airport still does give economical bonus and you get bombers by inventing flight, but artillery can do a job, although not as quickly as bomber.

Unless we are planning to attack the zulus anytime soon, I'd say go for tanks. There's no point going for zulus when we have plenty of room to expand right here in our own continent.

In addition, Panag is right. You can use bombers as defense. If you bomb the sh*t out of AI units they retreat. (AI never attacks with red health units)
