GDI sucks ! The last 30 minutes, of the set, GDI blocked me from any land grabs of people below me, or above me , I am not talking bottom trolling, I am talking about the players 1 or 2 place's above me or below me, well with in GDI Rules. WTF? I like to play right up to the end, I don't unstained the GDI interference. Some one explain it to me ?
Actually it's the last 6 hours of the game. I believe this was implemented because people like you who weren't going to win would go off FUBARing people trying to drag them down, either to make yourself finish 'better', or simply to stop someone else from finishing 'great' out of envy(this is the real problem). Also, at that stage of the set people go into finish/jump-mode and so they can become relatively weak or loaded with resources and so a form of protection was offered. I think more people than not like this because there are already enough ways for the jackals to ruin sets and we know if they could, they would. If you're looking to attack at the stage of the game you probably don't know what you're doing net-wise and aren't going to win anyway because attacking at that stage isn't all too beneficial...one point is some people you'd piss off and they'd just war you in the final hour, another point is if you gained $60mil, but lost like 400k jets, that'd only basically replace your losses, so what did you gain? Some land? You'd spend money on building land in the last few hours and also drop tech%? That's a waste as your new land wouldn't out-produce what you spent in most cases, and you'd have higher net putting that money to MUs at that time.
Note: If a target has hit YOU at least once in the set then they're not protected by GDI in the final 6 hours from YOU.
