acu get transformed into colossus
-
during last game I see 4 colossus being transformed immediatly into a colossus. is building a colossus this way less expensive than building it ?
other faction can do this ?
-
You probably mean (tele) sACUs using sacrifice to instantly build a colossus? It's not less expensive but has the advantage of being nearly instantaneous.
Only aeon have access to sacrifice so no, other factions can't do it.
-
You need 5 RAS support commanders with a sacrifice upgraide to be able to insta-build a collosus
-
yes it was a big surprise tu see a collusus appears like that in back of our base !
sacrifice can be used only to build colossus ?
using the sacrifice has no cost at all ?

Congrats, now you know about it!

Sacrifice is a racial ability for aeon engies, you can build anything with it.

You use up the unit, whose cost gets added to the construction, so it's hardly free.

"tele-GC" is a strategy where you can make a colossus appear at the back of someone else's base (or basically anywhere on the map, including in the water)
- You need an Aeon unit with T3 engineering (which means you need to get T3 on your ACU or someone needs to make a T3 HQ)
- You need to use that unit to make an Aeon Quantum gateway (3000 mass)
- You need to use the Aeon quantum gateway to make 5 aeon RAS boys (6450 each, which costs 32,250 mass)
- You need to upgrade teleporter on all 5 RAS boys (75,000 mass)
- You need to upgrade sacrificial system on all 5 RAS boys (750 mass)
- Then you need to teleport all 5 RAS boys at the same time (teleporting costs 10k energy/second, doing it for 5 at once means 50k energy, -- so your team needs to have a lot of T3 power generators - 10 T3 pgens would cost 32,400 mass. It would be better to have at least double that)
- When they appear at the destination, one RAS boy starts making the GC. Then all 5 of them use sacrificial system to build it basically instantly (which costs you the 5 upgraded RAS boys).
So you need to spend at least 110k mass for every tele-GC and that's on top of needing a big infrastructure with T3 tech and lots of T3 pgens
