SMAC: Should I use Psi attack?
I am late game Alien Crossfire, attacking with gravitons aremed with string disruptor.
Unfortunately, the others have gotten wise and are building everything AAA. In a way, that's good, as it is expensive, and diverts their resources.
However, I can no longer "one hit kill", and am losing gravitons.
Should I replace the weapons with Psi attack?
Best Answer
If you have dominant weapons, mixing in hovertanks and even air-dropped infantry will let you continue leveraging those dominant weapons.
Psi-combat is mostly useful when facing technologically superior enemies that your weapons cannot defeat. Switching from overwhelming firepower to psi-attack will make you lose as many (if not more) units, since psi-combat is less lopsided in general.
I'd say consider changing your gravs to transports and using their mobility to deploy slower, ground-based units that ignore AAA. At least until your opponents stop putting all of their eggs in one basket.
