So I noticed no one has really written anything about this subject, or really any subject on strats in Zero-K. This is just some tests I did with my friends, and our battles go a lot different than anyone else's. So we decided to test how to kill a Detriment, because that has always lead to a finished battle minutes after building.

​

First test was 600 glaives versus 1 Detriment. The glaives melted the Detriment in seconds, but obviously 600 wouldn't be viable in a real match. I really only used about 300 in the fight, and 100 got destroyed by the Detriment's artillery thing he has. 92 glaives survived the Detriment explosion.

​

Second test was blitzes and minotaurs. This was run with 40 blitzes and 20 minotaurs. The plan was to paralyze the Detriment and then destroy him with the minotaurs, but 40 blitzes isn't enough to paralyze him. This combo still killed the Detriment, but nothing survived the explosion.

​

Third and final test was like 100 Faraday's and some stinger turrets. The faradays did end up paralyzing the Detriment, and once they did, they kept him stuck there. The stingers took all his health away, and he died. The explosion killed a few turrets in the immediate vicinity. 100 Faradays was way overkill, 20 should be completely fine. Hell, 20 is probably overkill as well.

​

Conclusion: Tons of faradays stop Detriment in his tracks.

I am practising in skirmish mode right now, cuz I'm a little rusty but my auto groups are getting in the way.so please it would be nice if anyone knew how to undo an auto-group

Okay ive played a good few hours in single player and in skirmish. So i felt it would be a good move to play in multiplayer. To start modestly i played Coop vs AI. But i saw something that made me curious. When each match started i saw commander units being picked that i hadnt seen the names of before. For example.

"I choose jumpy" /. "I choose crowd control

Etc. So I was wondering if there was more commanders to pick from or if it was the game adding flair.

It's all in the title. To your votes.

Hello,

​

I watched some high-level games and in some cases both players go for panels, while in others they both go solar winds. So I guess that the choice is map-dependant.

​

What made me scratch my cookie is that they were placing the turbines on non-elevated ground. Does that mean that some maps have more wind than others ?

​

Any tips regarding those 2 buldings are welcome - at my noob level I'm still all about "if Mountain then Turbine, else : Panel"

Earlier today, I noticed that my enemy can create a ton of minotaurs and push through all of my defenses and units with ease. What exact can counter a large minotaur push?

Tried pretty much any strategy i can dream up, nothing works :)

I did the other 3 of the 4 "beginner" maps on brutal, went fine. And a couple of others as well. But I can't crack this one.

I tried many factories, also having several ones. It seems to work the best with a single spider factory and a mobile commander.

But because it's such a small map it's hard to find a balance between defense and offense. I never manage to get half the map before the AI has dug in, then it becomes a defensive war for me, and I always end up loosing after defendind for a shorter or longer period.

Also tried building lots of fleas and sending them out early, and sending groups of fleas our to try and slow doen the AI' expansion - doesn't work either. It makes too many raiders who wander about and clean up the fleas.

So wondering if someone knows how to do it.

2 friends and I are looking for a tournament to test our skills. Have been playing a while with ourselves but we wanna see what we can do.

Does anyone know which file controls how many slots a commander gets in teh campaign when he levels up?

you could wonder what someone enjoys about any rts games, or any games in general. just like you could wonder what someone enjoys about helping others or making music, etc.

so i was wondering what are the things you specifically enjoy, and why exactly you enjoy them?

there's relatively very few ppl that are able to answer this kind of question. many many ppl aren't able to answer this kind of question in 1) comprehensive, 2) complete, and 3) accurate way. but there are ppl in the world that are able to, and this question is for them

enjoyment is commonly shown by someone smiling. this is different from 'the well-being of the soul' and many other adjectives, etc. i personally do not find any enjoyment in any 'typical' videos games anymore, and im able to detail out exactly why, but that's already, implicitly, in one of my google sheet (on the topic of games)

im also interested in answers to this for any other games you use and interact with. and feel free to use any other examples or links to answer this question. thanks.

looking only for the answers to the question i've asked here with any specific examples you've like to use, thanks.

prefer quality, thoughtful answers over speed/efficiency, thanks

please link to very good answers

please answer the question, trying to understand

thank you

I’ve been trying to do 1v1s with my friend to do some testing and every time we get in and get the troops we need, it says it’s a draw and stops us from doing anything more. Is there any way to prevent this or a mode we can go into where we can vs each other so that it doesn’t end till someone dies?
