| '''Here you can find a neat guide for beginners to XTA'''
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| == Light Laser Tower ==
| |
|
| |
| Light laser towers (LLTs) have a much different role in XTA.
| |
|
| |
| They cost 250+ metal and should '''NOT''' be spammed unless in specific circumstances.
| |
|
| |
| It is widely thought that 2-3 well spread LLTs will kill a Commander.
| |
|
| |
| They are more for holding a strategic point than defending a small area.
| |
|
| |
| Units will defeat equal metal cost in defence.
| |
|
| |
| ----
| |
|
| |
| == Commander ==
| |
|
| |
| XTA is built around the Commanders and Commander Pushing is common.
| |
|
| |
| For a specific guide on Commanders, go [http://springrts.com/wiki/Xta_commander here].
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Unlike BA, there are differences between Core and Arm Commanders:
| |
| *Arm is faster moving
| |
| *Core has bigger decloak radius (easy to decloak)
| |
| *Core has longer D-Gun (260 compared to Arm's 240)
| |
| At morphing, they are also different:
| |
| *Core gets a heavier laser, closer range = more damage at Level Two
| |
| *Arm gets a paralyser at Level Two
| |
| *Core gets a plasma shot at Level Four
| |
| *Arm gets three raven rockets at Level Four
| |
|
| |
| The Commanders have shorter range than BA Commanders.
| |
|
| |
| It costs 200 Energy to cloak a stationary unmorphed Commander, and 1000 a moving one.
| |
|
| |
| The D-Gun also has a wider impact.
| |
|
| |
| Commanders can make all Tech one and Tech Two labs, like all constructors.
| |
|
| |
| '''BUT DO NOT GO TECH TWO AT START'''
| |
|
| |
| '''Commanders do NOT leave a wreckage. '''
| |
|
| |
| == Morphing ==
| |
|
| |
| Commanders can be morphed in XTA (toggled On/Off in host options).
| |
| Commanders can be morphed 4 times. The first level requires 0.01 experience.
| |
| First level gives:
| |
| *+3 metal, +75 Energy (starts at +2 and +50)
| |
| *2,000 metal + Energy storage (starts at 1,000)
| |
| *Build speed increases by 25, gets full Tech one radar as well as increased LoS
| |
| *Range increases by 20, more powerful primary laser and +250 extra health
| |
| *When cloaked and moving Commander uses only 700 energy, not 1000
| |
| *Level Two requires 0.25 experience and gives improvement on level 1
| |
| *Level Three requires 0.10 experience (will go to 0.09 if excess after Level Two)
| |
| *Level Three gives improvement on Level Two as well as self repair option
| |
| *Level Four requires 0.25 experience and gives improvement on Level Three
| |
| *'''Commander will be paralysed during morphing!'''
| |

|
| |
| == Vehicles or Kbots? ==
| |
|
| |
| In XTA both types are useful.
| |
|
| |
| It is best to go Kbots on hilly areas and Vehicles on flat areas.
| |
|
| |
| Flash are not as powerful and a wide spread of units is best.
| |
|
| |
| Vehicle Constructors are faster builders but cost more.
| |
|
| |
| All AA shoots ground.
| |
|
| |
| Scouts in XTA are very strong and can survive a lot of damage, however have low damage output.
| |
|
| |
| ----
| |
|
| |
| == Nanos ==
| |
|
| |
| XTA Nano Towers have shorter range but more build power than in BA.
| |
|
| |
| They chain explode, so place them at your own risk!
| |
|
| |
| Try space them out and not so close to your lab (but within range).
| |
|
| |
| ----
| |
|
| |
| == Anti Air ==
| |
|
| |
| Unlike BA, Vehicle and Kbot AA, Tech One and Two shoots ground and air.
| |
|
| |
| All stationary Anti Air shoots ground.
| |
|
| |
| Anti Air ships also shoot ground (and surface sea).
| |
|
| |
| There is only one Tech one and Tech Two stationary Land Anti Air for both factions.
| |
|
| |
| There is only one Tech one and Tech Two stationary Sea Anti Air for both factions.
| |
|
| |
| There is no Tech Two Kbot Anti Air, although Arm’s Pelican has a weak missile.
| |
|
| |
| ----
| |
|
| |
| == Difference in Techs ==
| |
|
| |
| '''Tech one'''
| |
|
| |
| It is usually best to only have one Tech One land lab, with assisters to improve build power.
| |
|
| |
| XTA is very similar to OTA with Tech one units (less than BA).
| |
|
| |
| Toaster/Ambusher is Tech One; Guardian/Punisher is Tech Two.
| |
|
| |
| Dragon’s Teeth blocks Rockets and majority of Missiles (terrain dependant).
| |
|
| |
| All Tech One Constructors can make all Tech one and Tech Two labs.
| |
|
| |
| Sub Pen and Shipyard are both sea Tech one.
| |
|
| |
| Level one Metal Makers do not chain explode.
| |
|
| |
| Popups do not have "High Trajectory" function.
| |
|
| |
| '''Tech 1.5'''
| |
|
| |
| Hovercraft and Sea Planes are Tech 1.5
| |
|
| |
| Labs cost 1,700 metal.
| |
|
| |
| The Constructors can make Mohos and Anti Nukes.
| |
|
| |
| Hover Platform can be built on Land and Sea.
| |
|
| |
| ''' Tech Two'''
| |
|
| |
| Tech Two is very different in XTA, and is usually made earlier.
| |
|
| |
| Once Tech Two is out, Tech one units will suffer heavily in head on combat.
| |
|
| |
| Resurrection Kbots are Tech Two and can make structures.
| |
|
| |
| '''Mohos cost 300 Energy to run not 25!'''
| |
|
| |
| Zippers/Freakers are in Tech one and 2 labs.
| |
|
| |
| Fleas have 700 HP and are less a scout unit more Skirmish.
| |
|
| |
| Guardians/Punishers do not have "High Trajectory" function.
| |
|
| |
| There are no Plasma Shields.
| |
|
| |
| '''Tech Three'''
| |
|
| |
| All Core land and air Tech Two cons can make the Krogoth Gantry.
| |
|
| |
| Arm has no Tech Three.
| |
|
| |
| Krogoth is only Tech Three unit (30,000+ metal).
| |
|
| |
| ----
| |
|
| |
| == Resources ==
| |
|
| |
| There is no Advanced Solar.
| |
|
| |
| Cloakable Fusions give 800 Energy
| |
| *Arm takes 125 Energy to Cloak
| |
| *Core takes 150 Energy to Cloak
| |
| *Arm takes 500 Energy to Stealth (625 for Cloak and Stealth)
| |
| *Core takes 550 Energy to Stealth (725 for Cloak and Stealth)
| |
|
| |
| Heavy Fusions give 3500 Energy.
| |
|
| |
| Arm have Mobile Fusions (260 E) in Advanced Vehicle Lab.
| |
|
| |
| Core have Mini Fusions (300 E) built by all Tech Two Constructors.
| |
|
| |
| NEVER start with a Heavy Fusion.
| |
|
| |
| Moho Metal Extractors cost 300 Energy per second to maintain.
| |
|
| |
| There is no gradual reclaim.
| |
|
| |
| Metal storages give 10,000 storage extra.
| |
|
| |
| Energy Storages give 30,000 extra storage.
| |
|
| |
| No Tech Two Storages (there are Tech one underwater ones).
| |
|
| |
| Underwater Storages give increased amounts of storage, but cost a little more.
| |
|
| |
| ----
| |
|
| |
| == Micro ==
| |
|
| |
| XTA is more about Micro as opposed to Macro.
| |
|
| |
| Controlling a select amount of units can win games.
| |
|
| |
| Units have more Health and are harder to kill.
| |
|
| |
| Wasting units by not microing '''WILL''' cost games.
| |
|
| |
| Commanders are widely microed.
