WASPS!
I forgot about wasps!
Mustangs are the obvious counter next round, but thats exactly what theyll expect…
Welcome to Mechabellum, an autobattler that plays a bit like (simultaneous) turn-based Supreme Commander.
They really are remarkably similar in a surprisingly varied number of ways.
Consequences ripple out from early board states, where predicting your opponent’s moves is key.
Mechabellum doesnt have an automated tool like that, but it does have something even better: a community.
Its a godsend, because without that help, identifying your mistakes can feel impossible.
Maybe you picked the wrong unit, or maybe you put the right unit in the wrong place.
Or maybe you overlooked a vital tech that would have fixed everything.
Or maybe all of the above at once.
Thats the magic, though.
Ill leave you with a quick tip, if chess-but-robots sounds up your street: learn from your betters.
His video onbasic rules to followis ELO rocket fuel.
Ill be ready for those Wasps next time.
