I have been experimenting with a number of combinations on a variety of maps, and there are some unit combinations that are just busted. Here is one of them that I saw recently, tried it, and yep, it is pretty crazy:
Therian Prowler (tier 1 Therian unit) - well built with bonuses from the capital (VERY cheap with dwelling intimidation and negotiator)
M1: Phase module (pass through walls + defense) * this can be flexible and used with many techs. Voidtech was really, really good here.
M2: Impairing Grenades (from Caste Military Applications)
M3: Xeno Defense Module (also from Caste Military Applications)
This can reasonably be fielded by turn 25, maybe even earlier, if you really move. And if your capital has a few landmarks with mods by then, these guys will be unstoppable.
So here is the rule I want to level - you can take these units and reliably defeat higher-tier well-modded units. Basically, you can reliably go into gold landmarks by turn 30 with minimal losses. These units, coupled with a few high damage units, do that. I want to know a few more of these combinations. What other god-mode early game combinations do you use?
