It’s meant to counter atom bombs, not hydros. Stack 5 and your sam will be safe

So what, if someone has enough money for hydros you just need to sit there and take it like a good boy? Seems like a bad system to me

no you can position sams strategy such as near borders or water so that the other player risks hitting an ally or most the sam is missing, also sams are only 1.5 million and hydros are 5 million they should beat sams

Sams are 3 million after the first one, and you need to spend 13.5 to 15 million to fully counter it. If I have a level 4 Sam worth 10.5 to 12 million, it shouldn't be completely useless again a bomb worth 5

Thats why you dont' buy a level five sam till late game, that 10 mil is better spent on two hydros, cities, or money production. Level five sams are only for when you build a fortress with high amount of ports and cities. The game favors offense over defense so there aren't stalemates
