Ok, so we play AoM:TT amongst ourselves in the office during lunch. And recently, we've come across 500-handicap lightning games. For sanity's sake, we've taken to playing 1v1v1v1 King of the Hill.
Yes, we know this is silly, no, we don't take it too seriously.
However, there has been a problem: Helios. Since you have more resources than you can shake a stick at, FU fire siphons seem to be *awesome* as seige, and don't go down easy -- ten fire siphons plus related support is good enough to raise an entire base before someone can react.
Add in vortex, where you can either take the hill at the last minute, or get your entire army into the middle of the enemy base, and it becomes difficult/impossible to try to hold the hill until any Helios player has used up all three vortexes.
So, how to handle this? What's the best way to wax fire siphons? And how do you handle up to three vortexes per Helios player?
