Gunships: It was true that Renegade and Soul Ripper were originally the only gunships with splash damage, but the Aeon Spectre now also has a splash weapon, so Cybran no longer has a monopoly on that. Loyalists no longer stun Exps or ACUs upon death, only units up to t3. Instead, their burst laser was given a stun property that can effectively stunlock t1 and t2 units that get hit by it, making them quite a bit better at the early t3 phase. They're also still the only mobile TMD in the game, and reflected missiles are not registered as hostile when being reflected, passing right through enemy shields and TMD. In the next FAF patch (slated for tomorrow), Billy nukes will no longer be reflected by Loyalists. The Cybran Trident frigate is at the time of writing by far the best in its class, and many consider the faction essential on navy maps because it's so strong. It's about to get a slight nerf, but probably not enough to knock it off the top spot. In the lategame, If a Cybran ACU is equipped with cloak and laser, it is not possible to telesnipe it with another ACU. The cloak ACU has far more HP and will always win the fight. Also, when counting Overcharge, the Cybran laser ACU has the highest DPS of any land unit in the game (without overcharge, the Monkeylord barely beats it out at 4500 DPS, vs 4200). The Cybran SCU is the only one with access to cloak and stealth, making it great at grabbing high risk contested reclaim in late game. It's is also the original mobile SAM unit with it's AA upgrade, before the t3 MAA units were added in FAF. Other Cybran trivia: * The Mole is the only unarmed land scout, and has an unimplemented deploy function that would have worked like a mini Soothsayer. * The Siren cruiser has an air staging platform on its stern. * The Megalith can be used to reclaim experimental wrecks very fast by placing an egg build order on top of the wreck. * The Cybran nuke's outer ring is the most powerful stun weapon in the game. * The Dragonfly t2 transport has an EMP gun that can stun t1 and t2 units. It's particularly useful against unprotected destroyers. * The Scathis is the only experimental artillery that can be built underwater. It also cannot be rebuilt on its wreckage, as it is technically a land unit.

_The Firebeetle is the only suicide weapon in the game..._ *The Mercy: **_Am I a joke to you?_*

One more funfact about the crab: it is faster under water than on land.

10:00 - I think Mercy also falls under the category of 'suicide units'. To all the newbies out there, Mercy is an Aeon T2 guided missle that can be produced in Aeon air factories. It has a very small pool of health and not much fuel, but the damage it can inflict, in my opinion at least, compensates for that.

*Disclaimer: People have pointed out some changes made between the original Forged Alliance and Forged Alliance Forever. Here they are: T4's (experimentals) no longer get stunned by loyalists ~ @banani The UEF gunship has jamming, the Cybran one only has stealth ~ @曾庆乐 Let me know if anything else needs to be mentioned! :D

I played FAF 6 years ago, just downloaded it yesterday again and I had no idea about most of these tricks on my favourite faction! Great job, it's a very nice video.

i love the pr0n music in the background. really underlines the affection you have for this race.

you forget that the spy plane on every faction and the gc have omny :)

I may be wrong, but i'm pretty sure T2 aeon gunship also has a splash damage. And a very good one. It has great burst damage with a small aoe. It's especially noticeable well attacking a pack on tightly clump units like t1 arty on attack move order, or units freshly out of a transport.

Very cool Faction Overview. Looking forward to see the Seraphim part! :)

its important to note, not everything here is base forged alliance, some are from forged alliance forever.

Man I love this game

This is a good little series. Don't feel bad that all the little changes FAF made may not be included. I can't say I've liked all the changes they've made over the years, but for a game that's over 10 years old, they have certainly been keeping it fresh!😅

The Tech 1 *Jester* gunship is a strong advantage. Its basically a Tech 2 gunship, without the HP. The DPS is very similar to Tech 2.

I read the title as "fashion tips". Was not disappointed

Hoplite+Deciver+Banger is a very powerfull composition.

I remember that cybran stealth maser match, that was crazy, who needs telesniping with stealth?

Hi, nice vid. Crabs a eggs myserty is solved now. Great! How did you manage to get 4 Playlist for 2023 on 01/06/2023 ?? :-) Is there a chance of getting the background music? Seems to be really...fonky..?

T4's do not get stunned by loaylists. It was in 2014 or something but no longer works. Also cybran destroyers are not even close to being cost efficient as bricks. Salemn is 2k mass cost and brick is 1k but single brick has 2 times the battle capability then salemn.

Does this apply for FAF?

12:25 "It was at this moment that he knew..."

where is the tier 3 cybran anti air i cant find it

can anyone tell me what map this is???

The fire beetle isn't the only suicide weapon in the game. Aeon have Mercy's. It is the only land based suicide weapon in the game.

Btw, what about the Rhino tank?

What's the bouncer??? I just redownload the game other day and played as the Cybrans and I didnt see that unit. 10:32

Cybran gunship has stealth, UEF one has jamming

love this game wish it was better optimized. so many of the units for each faction look beautiful. although i like total annihilation more in terms of gameplay i like supreme commander for the amazing battles and beautiful units, and the ai is fun in supreme commander as they like to spam tons of t1 units so the battles are super epic, just my computer cant run the game properly oof

is the crab egg engineer better or the same as a tier 3 normal engineer

Is this for FAF or FA? I'm noticing some stuff seemed to have changed.

Is the cybran tier 3 anti air unit from a mod.

What's that lovely mod for ranges of effect?

Ahh i think you are using an mod that i dont see the Bouncer on my Cybran's ground units list?

Promo SM 🙂
