What is the most terrifying RTS game unit to be up against? (lemmy.world)

My vote is monk from age of empires 2. These dudes can walk up and stare at your friend chanting for a bit, then suddenly they turn around and attack you. That's horrifying.

Krogoth - Total Annihilation Core Contingency

It has extremely durable armor, capable of withstanding seven nuclear missiles. Its main weapons are the Gauss cannons mounted on either arm, its secondary weapon is an Annihilator-type laser mounted on its head and its third weapons are two Starburst rocket launchers mounted on its back that are used as effective anti-air weapons. A single Krogoth can destroy a sizable ARM base if it isn't well defended.

An absolute beast of an RTS unit.

TA is just a gem. I like how the base game is pretty moderate unit-wise. And then they just said "fuck it" and added whatever cool shot they (probably always) wanted.

And the soundtrack kicks ass, "March unto death" being my favorite.

I always felt like the arm got the short end in the expansion. they just never got anything to parallel the krogoth.

their static artillery being shorter range also always hurt them in my vs cpu games. though the vulcan was pretty awesome of you could somehow generate enough energy to sustain its RoF.
