Am I the only person here who does not like Gorillas?

[tailkin]

from what I can remember about the game I was never a fan of the beast- it took too long to reload and was brought down by faster, leaner units. On the flip side is was fun to tool around in and smash stuff

Ok people, 3 things;

1 - The big brutes can take tons of damage and act like sheilds
2 - They are SOOOO good a taking out buildings after you've somewhat cleared the area
3 - Isn't there nothing scarier then seeing one of those on the horizon? Big, strong, dumb AND deadly. Thats a recipe for disaster, for everybody.

I agree with you Aquarillis, i don't like the gorilla too. It's strong tho, but when you just created a raid of little sh*t-grunts  you can end all their lives with just 1 blow.

Oh yea and cheating is for the hax0rs, not for me !

(i don't know anything about modding ^^)

I can say ive never modded the game either, because i dont know how and itll prolly take away from the real game play (obv) BUT nothin wrong with a gorrilllaaaa, just takes forever.

The Gorilla is a very useful unit if used correctly.

YOu need first-person to appreciate it though.  It seems like AI control makes th egorillla suck.  The AI gets very wonky  and you stumble around and get torn apart ny a hoard of small units.

Use the tab key to use just the rockts.  Send smaller units ahead to fight and use the superior range of the rockets to help. If thing get hairy resort to the ground pound.

The same may be said, I suppose, of the Goliath.  That too sucks becuase it moves slow but the weapon is awsome.  Keep one handy at camp, pput him in the back with a clear line of fire and set to high initiative/stand ground.  Their cylce time is slow but the weapon is devastating.

I only use these if captured by a judas, becuase they are not worth the minerals used to make them.

OR, you could just chuck a bloodthirsty  at them. I think that'll do the trick.

I told you to keep it down with the bunnies.

it sorta depends on how you use it... for example, Mission 20, the corridors are grat for turning and suprising a squad of reapers and Judas Warlords and next thing u know... Boom! Ground pound followd by oblivion missles and they are all ruble... and besides if by som chance u have a Judas warlord survive, make a Judas Warlord(one of yours) follow him so once its taken back over to your side again, the gorilla will groud pound it again before the Judas Warlord knew what the crap just happened to him.
