Strategy
I always play my friend on the core prime maps the ones that are all metal and
he always beats me he uses lots of aircrafts but my cobras can only take down so
many how would you guys who have been playing alot longer than me counteract
this tactic or what tactic would you use for a map like this?

Be more specific please.
What planes are they? Are they adv or basic?
Instead of trying to counter air with cobra’s, why not try and counter his air
with your air? (Hawks )
Don’t build cobra’s, trust me. They are to expensive, and mass MT’s will do a
way better job.

As posted by Pic somewhere on this board, for CPIA go vec then air, as metal is
not really a factor on metal maps, try and get air before him if u can but dont
go air first-its suicide.
The weak have one weapon, the over-confidence of those who think they are
strong.

time we played i managed to take out his airforce and took my 9 krygoths into
his base i took ourt half before he cloaked his commander and d gunned me i
tryed air v air and his base is so well detected they all went in seconds.

On Core Prime you need to close yourself off in the walled area and build tons
and tons of planes. Krogoths are a bad way to go.
Tons of Hawks and Vamps are the best air defence.

Personally i find the worst thing you can do is settle your main base in one
area. I prefer to spread them out, or at least build them in areas where the
enemy will never look.
Also why let him get such air power? Comm lift a bit away from his base and
build many many factories. Then attack once you have a fair few units. It will
keep him busy and allow you to build more efficiently as compared to him.
Heck you would probably beat him without the need for hawks.
im good

This is idiocy. You expand like a madman, building up to 50+ adv air labs…YOU
CANT CONTAIN THAT AND ABOUT THREE HUNDRED METAL WORTH OF MEXX IN THE WALLS!
You expand like freaking CRAZY on CPIA!

When you put your whole heart into a search for the truth, in due course you
start to see the contradictions in what you’ve been taught. You start to realize
that something doesn’t feel right and doesn’t look right. Something starts to
sink…
-Dan Lafferty, Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saint
“A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be
a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on the level with a man
who says he is a poached egg - or he would be the devil of hell. You must take
your choice. Either this was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or
something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool or you can fall at His feet and
call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about
His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us.”
-C.S. Lewis

I am gonna have to agree with WC on this one…
Its hard for just the plants and AA in the forts , but, with mexx aswell then
nothing land based could move.

Heck that would probably be the most nukeable target ever.
Anyway on maps like cpia, i wouldnt technically call it expanding. Its more like
building factories everywhere, not trying to control the map via the ground.
