What's the best way to counter Forge as YapYap?

Games Halo Wars Series
1

I think I’m starting to get the hang of him, but anytime I go up against a forge I can never seem to get the upper hand, only delay the loss. Any tips? Thanks guys.

2

Early choppers / upgrade and some cannon fodder for you grunts…

3

spam fodder into a quick tech 2, get ankle biters. Build units.

4

Get 3 grunt goblins 68 pop worth of cannon fodder and 12 points worth of heavy grunts with the upgrade then go tech 2 and build locusts then replace the cannon fodder for heavy grunts

5

Well if Yapyap had Sucide grunts as an all a round anti ground unit type deal than maybe rushing with Sucide grunts…

"If Yap Yap Had"no where does it say he dose. I’m speaking hypothetically here.

Use heavy grunts with EMP to kill the forge hog. It’s pretty hilarious actually.

Not how you read it* I made no edits.

The idea of Yapyap, like the near Imperial counterpart from Warhammer 40k, is to drown your foe in a tidal wave of cheap, expendable troops. The only thing separating you from the Flood is that you don’t repurpose corpses to fight for you.

Lots of fodder up front with some heavies behind.

If you make Grunt Riders by going full eco on your main and taking 2 mini’s and then go raid on both. You can have 10 grunt riders or more by 3 minutes. Use CF to bulster your army and then push on Forge’s base. If the forge hog challenges you use Y on it and if you hit it with 10 grunt riders it will die from them. If the forgehog doesn’t challenge you go straight for his base and you’ll win the base trade or atleast hack away at his eco forcing him to challenge which you can then ram him to kill. The aim of the game is to beat him early as soon as possible, he tends to only have the hog and a few units out by 2:30ish so this is when you want to attack him. I haven’t lost to a forge yet doing this. I’ve actually had more trouble with Deci and the fury grunts than Forge lol.

By doing this you’ll either win outright or put him back far enough that you can tech up whilst he has to repair the damage and you can also gain map control as your backing away. The game shouldn’t last longer than 5 minutes if you do it right, good person to watch doing this would be RTS Yoda’s recent streams when he’s on the account Rush Harder that’s where I got the idea from.

Upgrade heavy grunts and get the EMP upgrade, that should stop the forge hog. However, I don’t play yap yap or forge too often so I can’t say a solid strategy
