Troops vs Militia

[Blue Lord]

The organic tech tree contains a small thingy for troops that fires just like a Ground Cannon, just better on it's higest lvl than the ground cannon. I use it all the time on my fighters and troops.

Yeah, I like the Small Acid Globules - much better than the standard techs for fighters...as to troops - Rarely ever use 'em...

However, the times I have, they seemed vastly underpowered vs. malitia. Malitia IMO are rebel troops w/ pea shooters. Should be able to wipe out malitia at least 10 to 1.

The cluster bombs WOULD do 270 points every other round if they hit 100% of the time. I like two clusters, a small combat sensor and armor. Sometimes two clutsters and shields but the sensors make a big difference. Both designs let me take worlds remarkably easily.

Thanks for the suggested troop config, I'll give it a try next game. Where do I find the data on how likely it is for cluster bombs, or any other weapon, to hit? I've looked but can't find it.

Thanks,

I have no idea, I've never seen any. I just noticed they weren't hitting all the time, so I stuck on a combat sensor and armor and that seemed to help. I don't know anything beyond that simple observation.
