O.O Wow that's some serious energy generation!

I remember my terp test map from beta. I don't have it any more, but all it was, was completely random and scrambled terrain and just a bunch of terps, terraforming the heck out of it. I had a good 20 terps (some powerzoned) and they were just going to town. The programming behind these things are just admiral since they all "know" what spot is being taken worked on and each take their own cell. Watching 20+ terps shooting around at random cells is very interesting to watch.

Terps are fun, but I get the feeling that I waste time with them, that I could be using to be aggressive. I'm pretty turtley in this game.

I never use terps defensively. I use them for make a straight even path from one hill to another.

I've used them to mow down little hills for a clear field of fire. And to build nice high sniper platforms.

I have been referring to the strategy of using terps to push a front line on a platform as "platforming".  I usually push with a platform that is 12 squares wide with 4 cannons, 4 mortars and 6 terps.
But terp usage can definitely be taken too far.
I think this is my worst overuse of terps. At peak productivity, I was using a sustained 800 energy.

That is one epic picture. That must have been amazing to watch.

and took some time, that was a slope from height 1 up to about 7/8 i think, it took me a moment to realise it was thor's thunder, and i'd made it! :D

Terps are very addictive, you get sucked into using them. You might even say...
IT'S A TERP!

Or, "i got terped".  I haven't had the time to follow the boards a lot since the game was dropped, but, didn't I see in a blog post that you could terp land across open space? Didn't work when I wanted to, was this removed?

[burguertime]

Dunno about terp in space, but I got the terp blues baaad.

These days I refrain myself from even building them, or I will turn the map into a pit. My favored strategy is to make a 9x wide path around the map edges and corners, and pound the middle whenever is there something to kill.
