I have a question. Of all of the gamers who play RTS games,did you ever have a group of units,initialy used for one purpouse,you then discovered,quite accidentaly,that they are an incredible fighting force?
Such an incident happened to me. I was playing Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance's campaign as a Cybran commander. On the second to last mission. You're dropped into the middle of enemy lines with naught but your ACU. I built,and made a tight defensive bubble around my base. However,I needed space,badly. However,all of my Engineer teams (5 T2 Engineers per team)sent out to build a wider defensive line were destroyed by the relentless waves of attackers. So,I got myself five Support Commanders,and upgraded them with SAMs,bigger guns,and faster building,as well as my ACU with a beam weapon,T3 engineering suite,and something else that I can't quite remember.
These units were supposed to build the defensive line quickly and be able to stay alive (and kill the enemies) while doing it. However,I soon realized that they could take on anything the enemy threw at them short of an experimental. So,what was once a high-risk build team became a tactical strike team.
So,does anyone else here have similar experiences?
