The Uberlord may be the best unit in the game, but there are ways to kill it. One of these ways is Missile Defender Spam:



Very big explosion, and the turret goes flying:



After exploding:



I've been meaning to make this for a while, and figured it was good enough to make a thread.

Nice! Peharps with a Gatling Gun upgrade it don't happens =P

oulala i see a dead skin
and it looks great. what did u say about 1 comanche again?

[MR.Kim]

Awesome destory to Uberlord.

[Zeke]

the cannon should cause damage if it falls on something

[Sgt. Nuker]

Everything has a counter, even in this silly mod. A tank of epic proportions takes an equally large force to kill. Makes sense though.

[Su8perkillr]

not true, cuz a chinook with a ranger in it can kill a rocket buggy, and that isnt equally strong.

[Jordan]

That is called a counter. You are attacking a ground unit with an air unit. That isn't a fair fight in which both sides can attack the other.

[Su8perkillr]

oh ok i see.

Why don't you hijack it?

[GR3NADE]

That is one way to "defeat" the Uberlord, but only temporarily, as you would then be able to throw it back at your opponent and they would then have to come up with some way to defeat it, thus starting the process over. That is of course, if Jordan gave it the ability to be hijacked.

[Su8perkillr]

so... it cant be hijacked :O

Which I would never do, because that would kinda make that player lose the game, and stealth hijackers stealing your only attack unit would be completely unfair. I'm a little worried about neutron shells though, as I'm not sure if their effect still works.

[Destiny]

Isn't there a line of code that prevents units...err...pilot_snipe weapons or something?

[RaiDK]

Also prevents them from being able to be repaired, if I remember correctly.

[Jordan]

That's probably a good thing. You don't really think you can fit this thing inside a War Factory repair bay, do you?

[pirate]

you can just make the Kill_Pilot armor 0% right ?

[Jordan]

Yeah, that's what I did, but I think neutron might use a slightly different logic though, not sure.

[CJ]

Perhaps you can turn it into a mobile structure, like Beng did on his Demo, Laser & Nuke mod where all the defenses can move and attack without being affected by snipers or neutrons ?

[Jordan]

It is a mobile structure. The only problem is that it shows a cannot move icon whenever you select it, but it will still move if you click.

[CJ]

If it's already a mobile structure, then there's absolutely no way it could be affected by neutron shells, if it was the case then all buildings would lose their "pilots"...
And the cannot move icon is not really of a big deal, I don't think anyone would complain about that.

But I have a question then : Is the Uberlord immune against Saboteurs ?

[Jordan]

No idea. I'm not really sure what they'd do anyways.

[Sgt. Nuker]

I guess the only way to take over the Uberlord is to tell a basic infantry unit to "capture" it, or to have Lotus do it. The issue with the basic infantry is that the Uberlord would have to stay completely still and the infantry unit would need to be right next to the Uberlord. Lotus could capture from a bit farther away, so that might be one (if not the only) way.

You mean Lotus, not Leang right ?
Also, as this mastodon is acting like a mobile defense, there's no way infantry could capture it, did you ever see a rebel capping a patriot or a fire base ?
