Sucks to hear that. Dunno how bad it is, but hope it improves.

Back to the OP:

IMHO it’s not one strategy, but a few different ones.
Some of those strategies get better with different settings and mods (and different map size), some worse.
Example: Scales build got better with (the last?) CBM.

But there are strategies that won’t work against human players.

the best thing about dom has always been(in my opinion) so many options. what a shame to think at the highest levels there is only one way to play.

is this true? if so, would it effect me, a newbie? and also, are there any newbies left? i mean, the game has been out awhile.

just some musings...
