| Summary | 0023509: Really struggling versus Scourge | ||||
| Description | I chose the "A Twisted Enemy" premade start with a difficult 7 ai and intensity 5 Scourge and am at a stalemate nearly 2 hours in. Scourge are constantly spawning spawners, armories, and fortresses right next to my worlds, and for about an hour now I've been hunting them down and blowing them up where I can, but things are only getting worse and worse. I've managed to completely stall out on metal at this point. The biggest issue I've run into is the scourge fortresses. A mk I fortress is rated at strength 4, but is easily demolishing entire 40 strength fleets of mine, with 40x zombifying lifesteal projectiles that I don't enough fusion/frigates to deal with properly. On top of that they overlap range with the spawners/armories which also have similar tankiness/armaments. I might have an easier time with mass snipers/frigates, but the tech near me didn't seem to lend itself to that kind of strategy. | ||||

I don't think this is a bug? There are a lot of strategies for fighting the scourge, but once they get powerful it can be really hard to deal with them. I think most strong players recommend being very aggressive and trying not to let them expand. The Scourge are a very powerful faction and intended to be a real challenge. You can definitely get into unwinnable positions against them. A post on the forums or discord for advice about how to play against the scourge is likely to be more fruitful than posting here. |
