Well, a part from water maps which does not represent the major part of the maps usually played on MP, i don't see at what the Aeon are good at to be honest. Any hint?

The reach of their tech 1 units is a big advantage if you use it the right way

I see. do you suggest to advance little by little with your group of units instead of trying to run everywhere like crazy as you would do with the Cybrans?

Aeon are my favorite faction.
Really powerfull but slower than the other factions.
I think Aeon are the best offensive faction.

If you play Aeon do not forget that :

• you must remain grouped
• you must have a good radar coverage for your Aurora.
• you have lots of units with hovercraft abilities
• you are the best on water

Aeon gameplay is really different from Cybran (rusher/attacker) and UEF (defender).
All is slower but more powerfull. Points defenses illustrates the Aeon spirit perfectly

precisely. you set the auroras to move just inside range to hit the enemy (USE MILITARY OVERLAY LIBERALLY - IT IS GODLY) with move orders, not attack orders. because attack orders lead to them getting in range and THEN beginning to slow down, and that means they could float into enemy fire range. you really have to pay attention to acceleration/deceleration and range as aeon

well I got them in few game today and now I understand better why they need radar, they are simply blind without it and got owned even befor ethey can show up there nose. I'll test them further though.

There are several elements which make the Aeon really strong, the shooting range of the Aeon tanks are really useful they are the only tanks who can shoot T1 turrets from a distance, and when you reach level 2 there T2 turrets are the strongest of all factions in my opinion.

I started of with the Aeon being my primary faction...
Their looks, their attitude kinda attracted me...
Although they are slow they do give quite a blow in battles, especially when you reach T2 and T3. Their Point Defences are very strong and they will most likely win in naval fleet attacks. So when you ask me who the strongest faction is, then its up to you to decide the following: You want offence, defence or balanced faction...

Cybran = Offence, because their units in T1 have low hitpoints but give quite some damage... and ETC...
UEF = Has great defences from the start making them the Defensive faction
Aeon = Slow, but bit stronger than others when you reach higher tech levels making them kinda the balanced faction between offence and defence (point defence).

If i'm wrong please inform me... because this is just what i think of it.

Aeon is the strogners faction now I feel, since cybran land is equal or a bit worse, and Aeon naval is just the best there is at the moment.
