Mastadons and Phantoms

try putting fully upgraded marines in the mastadons and let them heal each other

Marines heal each other? I thought they only healed buildings/vehicles/air

they heal while in the mastodon too

its great

So i had four mastadons stack with cyclops, snipers, marines, and hellbringsers lead by jeromantis and wrecked and mopped up 3 seperate battles with minimal reinfocment. I think i squeeses in a few nightgals and hornets.and when my pop got low. Omega squad. I think the mastadons a good tanks in group. But that pop makes them horrible. Im cool with health and dps if the pop cost for mastadon is lowered. I think its abit high especialy considering your going to group up your troops in them.

flameadons wreck bases.backed by a fully loaded cycladon to wreck tanks. I think they are petty tood just need some population tweaking for cost

They can easily be focused down and are very good at running away. I think just an armor upgrade like the marauders would be good enough.

Agreed. In desperate need of an armour upgrade.

I think the Phantom should have a gunboat upgrade where the turret is changed into a heavy plasma launcher. Like a wraiths, but obviously less powerful and more specialised.

> I’m not here to say they’re useless but there’s 2 things wrong. 1 your allies can’t garrison them like johnsons bunker which makes no senese, 2, the mastadon despite being an apc has the same armour as a happy meal and the gun it has never seems to be able shoot anything. It’s fine being slow but it shouldn’t die instantly after it’s 3 week journey.

You can’t give orders to the bunker, but you’d be able to move around allies units in a mastodon or phantom. But you’re 100% right about the armor. A mastodon should be able to stand up to more than a light breeze.
