Re: What is the Best alternate for Goliath
Marines. Biological, so they can be healed quickly even while you're fighting, they cost only minerals to build (and build fast), and smaller, so you can pack more firepower into one place (and they generally take less damage - only concussion damage is better against small than medium). And they can be put in bunkers, of course. The only downside is their smaller anti-air range after the goliath upgrade.

David, because he beats Goliath.

Consider a Griffin. While the Goliath admittedly has 5 more tons of armor than the Griffin, I imagine the Griffin's jump jet will make a huge difference in this kind of duel.
The inability of the Goliath to torso twist combined with slightly more maneuverability may make it possible for the Griffin to take shots that the Goliath wouldn't be able to return.
However, it also really depends on the map. For a large map with lots of open LOS, the Goliath's superior firepower helps. On a small map, especially one with lots of hills that block LOS, the Goliath's huge blindspot will get it killed.Last edited by Beelzebubba; 2018-05-20 at 04:09 PM.

Re: What is the Best alternate for Goliath
Introducing the Honduran Curly Haired. Small, very docile, and very easy going, the Honduran Curly Haired is an excellent choice for beginners. Since Goliaths are big, scary, and foul tempered, I do not recommend them for anyone new to the hobby. Besides, they have urticating hairs and one hell of a bite. Not to mention that owning one is illegal.

The Mod Wonder: Closed because it's fairly vague. OP, check your PMs in a minute.
