The Grunt. The basic comparison to the Marine from StarCraft can be formed. He has a fast firing gun, and is relatively strong. He can open up a can of whoop-ass, but he finds trouble serving it to his opponent's with his low accuracy. He comes with twenty-eight shots with a full clip and, ten life. They cost 1 "Force Point."
The Grenadier is a versatile and problematic unit. I often find them killing my own men, or just wiping out my army from the enemy team. They fire bouncing grenades every 2.5 seconds so long as they aren't in motion. When their grenades go off they create large areas of explosion that kill, or take almost any unit in the game to low life. They have eight-bullet magazines and, twelve life. They cost 2 "Force Points."
The Sniper. He is very good at, *BIG GUEST HERE* sniping. He can easily take down other marines units, and has a decent shot (pun intended ;}) at taking down Mech or Spawn units. They often die quickly because of there frailty but can hold their own very easily at long range. They have the best Accuracy in the game, but they have amazingly slow fire rates. They have eleven life, and fifteen-bullet magazines. They cost 2 "Force Points."
The Medic can't be easily compared to StarCraft Medics. They prove to utilize the same idea, but the LSN Medic is very slow, has to stop and take out his healing thingy before he can heal, and has a weapon other than a flash bang grenade launcher that no one ever gets. He can be used well if you devote two-three rounds to healing your men, and keeping them out of harms way.
They have nine life, and a clip of fifteen. They cost 1 "Force Point."
The Commander is the powerhouse of the Marines. He has a souped up Grunt weapon with better accuracy, and more damage. He has a much longer range also. His drawbacks are that he has problems facing large groups or overpowering units such as A.I.'s. He is a bad investment if you lose him without him putting up much of a fight. He can win or lose a game for you. There is also a lot of controversy whether it is better to take three Grunts, or one Commander with your last three "Force Points." He has fourteen life, and twenty-ammunition. He costs 3 "Force Points."
The Marine HQ is an ammo dump for all Marine Ammunitions. You can re-supply, and reload your men here if, and, when they run out of ammo. Grenadiers are the most frequent who make trips to this building, having only eight ammunition. Reload times depend on the unit but are usually pretty quick. Its only offensive weapon is when it is destroyed by the enemy it blows up pretty big. This can be a double-edged sword for Spawn Melee units. It cost only 1 "Force Point."
The Exterminators are the foot soldiers of the Machina. They are almost double the viciousness of Grunts, and are almost as strong as a Commander. The only downside to these killing machines is that they lack the Speedy-Zealot upgrade and are very slow. They have decent firing range, and are not a fun thing to fight against mob v mob. They have fifteen life and twenty-two shots. They cost only 1 "Force Point."
Hunter's are an underused unit. The reasons for this are; they have low life, they have small ammo loads, and are overall weak when not just picking off singled out enemies. They are very good however for scouting and, assassinations. They fly so they are very agile giving them the ability to dodge shots, and are probably the fastest moving thing on the game. They have seven life, and fifteen shots. They cost 1 "Force Point."
Scanners are underused also. They have no offensive, or defensive weapons but have the unique ability to see long ranges, and through walls of structures. They can't do much past that, and are mostly just to take along with an A.I. so he can drive right into the building already ready for a fight. They have twenty-two life and no ammo. They cost two "Force Points."
Missile Tanks are probably the most destructive thing on the game. Though they can only fire two times in a turn maximum, they are devastating. There blast radius is about two times that of a Grenade. Their only drawbacks are they are slow, cost a lot, and have a low ammo capacity. They have a whopping Fifty-three life and five-ammo. They cost four "Force Points."
The A.I. is the modern tank in the game. It deals massive damage, backed with fast firepower, and accuracy. It can repair other Mech units, and is typically a must have. The AI is slow, and costly, but a worthwhile investment. They explode when killed. They have another whopping fifty-five life and fifty ammo. They cost four "Force Points."
The Mech HQ is the exact same thing as the Marine HQ. So if you bothered reading anything but this you would already know its uses.
BlueRiBBon (Marine) is an All-star battle reporter, (at least in his mind) and has vowed never to do another Fanfic again. However, he will not stop doing reports featuring top of the line people like Slayer or Nazgul. He lied and he is going to try to be a report machine :P. He is also a Newbie at everything, k?
On the East he sent his Exterminators around trying to find some cover. I in the mean time moved my men forward up past the first sandbags.
that. He moved quickly to the exit, and tried to run across the street. My Grenadier shot another grenade into his side of the building, well my Grunts, and Medic went around to the left. As the XT tried to get across the street he was under fire from inaccurate Grunts. He barely made it to the wall for cover when the last shot hit him in the back. During this battle I secured the East Flank for myself, at exactly eighty seconds. However, when problems arise on the other front, I must call my troops back to make a final push up the West Front.
Well my men moved up the street, Mark4 moved his A.I. into the back of a building. However, from back here he could see the whole street, and was at a range so far that the Grunts would hit him every ten shots (which with their life expectancy would be never. He also managed to keep an Exterminator alive that I never even saw. He hid him in a building that is surrounded on three sides with brick, and the side that isn't is facing left of where I'm coming from. This means, obviously, that he could pop out, and take back shots at me when I swing around.
