This is a bit complicated since the scrabs are also used as capturers. If we want them to build more generators at the start, we might have to force about 4 gens in the buildorderstrategy before they even start to capture a point. This could work, though I'm not sure if it's to dangerous. It could slow teching down which is suicide against SM dreadnoughts. Though if they get more resources they might be able compensate the slow down.1. Necrons are too slow building generators at gamestart. I watched some expert necron replays and often necron players have 5 generators at 3min mark. AI doesn't have to do this but they are too slow. They have excessive resources and can happily use them to build generators and improve their econ.
This could be a mistake from me. I was quiet busy fixing the 50.000 other Necron problems, so I treated them like the usual turret/post improvement of the other races. I'll try to fix this. I guess as soon as they've got the bigger summoning core => Max post 2 addons.2. Necrons are too slow building their last LP upgrade. Experts do build them really early sometimes. Arent't they providing necron cap too ? I had a necron with +240 power and power > 1200 (donating constantly) who still had 17 infantry and 11 vehicle cap. No necron went beyond 11 vehicle cap at all the whole game ! This seems to be buggy and really does handicap necron late game.
They were saving for the restored monolith I guess. The problem is that the monolith is horrible bugged. Very often they just can't build it for some reason. They also often refuse to repair a destroyed restored monolith.3. What for is necron saving up 1200+ power if he doen't use it for this special expensive 1000 power build (no idea what it is as I don't play the game). The middle necron had +240 power and > 1200 but he was not using it for his big builds. He had a big generator.
I've already reduced the chance of the kroot way against Necron. I think it's only 1/5 if I remember right. If Tau don't build Krootoxes, they probably have a too low unit rating. Should be easily fixed.4. Tau do build up power too fast and should better slow this down a bit in favor of more early units. I'm still not convinced that Kroot path is valid against necrons. At least they should build more krootox (or whatever is their name) which are imba and spammable. I rarely see them at all and not in sufficient numbers.
addon_necron_hq_2 is no standard build in Necron warrior strategy. Is this intentional ?
