Weakest Strategy 2014

HW is weakest of all

Iron Fist and Naval commander?

Lucky Bastard

HW.

How could GC ever be worst strat?

Other than nc and if, all the mentioned strats need work, im not sure about lb, wasnt it originally created to be a troll strat? is there any intention to make it truly competitive? (in b4 "LB OP")

IF, no competition.

gc is hard to use in multiple front i seen it used as a ukraine player, which predominately a one front battle ( only the western side is your expansoin., when you run out of tanks, expansion becomes difficult, vice versa to infantry in defense. But the worst of all is HW is more horrible due to high cost of tanks and infantry and the similarity in the nerf between GC and HW, even marine get less defence than gw marine.

Naval Commander, no questions.

All of these are good strategies. The weakest is probably relentless attack.

If you disagree, you probably just don't know how to use them.

NC can be OP if played properly,

Hybrid Warfare, no questions

No, Hybrid Warfare is a shit version of GC and GW marines. It only works if you are playing a game with high income, in which RA and LB would be a better choice.

For all of those RA haters, I dare u to play a 1v1 25k with no upgrades, then tell me how RA is weak.

RA is by far the strongest strategy in the list, but falls short in defensive capabilities (that's why walling exists)
and is expensive to maintain.

RA can trash PD and IF in games with more than 15k

RA is only weak in competitive play, because the game forces you to stop using tanks, due to infantry getting boosted to hell in upgrades.


EDITED

HW is weak but if you learn it than it's good.

Anyone who says these are all good strategies does not understand how they work. NC and IF are fine. but the rest need work.

IF is the most powerful offensive strat in the game and works well in small maps with high income and high city density. its also powerful defensively. Because it can be so powerful in some situations(ever played Ancient world?) people are afraid to alter its stats, which is understandable.

NC has huge reach, due to the cheap navals trans with a larger capacity that can move as far as airtrans. it can complete great surprise expansions and on the water it is unmatched, particularly with high funds. With destroyers possessing the highest attack power of all the default units.

RA is a strong strat on certain custom maps which focus on tanks, however on maps with default units its rarely a good choice, where the cheaper or simply more powerful competitive strats will tear it apart. Pd inf in particular to RA tanks with a gen possess the same defensive stats as anti air to bombers. There are many areas in which to improve this strat. However due to its accessibility it remains the most played strat.

HW is probably the weakest strat in the game atm, with the nerfs far outweighing the boosts. it's expensive, has a weak naval presense, possesses poor expansion capabilities without high starting funds(due to expensive slow moving air and naval trans) and the fact that inf possess negligible attack. if you yourself are a good player you can make this strat work, but for almost every situation where you can play HW(bar maybe a few custom maps) there is a much better strat choice.

GC was once a powerful commonly used strat before its stats were nerfed, now it is probably among the weakest and least played of atwars strats. Its usable, and can be powerful in battles of attrition, but like HW for almost every situation where you can use GC there is a more powerful strat choice. and like RA it will struggle against pd players, particularly in the lategame.

Lucky Bastard
LB requires you to be exactly what the strat describes, a lucky bastard, its expensive and indeed with the ciritcals coming into play and good rolls it can be powerful with high income. but ultimately is no match for the competitive strats.
