I agree with you in every way slash, fodder is definatley compulsory for an effective defense. However, i beleive what they are trying to say is this:
You have 100 Rocket Launchers and 5 Plasma Turrets and you keep your resources.
You have 0 Rocket Launchers and 5 Plasma Turrets and you will almost definatley not.
This is your statement yes? Please tell me if i am wrong
I beleive what they are trying to say is why not have say 25 Plasma Turrets instead.
I do not agree with this, just thought i should make their point a little more clear as they appear unable to
The answer is guys, that fodder is always cheap! You are saying its better to have bigger and better defenses. Try getting the required amount of resources to make a defense of Plasma Turrets/Gauss Cannons effective in comparison to the resources required for simple fodder + a few good defenses.
I think this will solve your confusion
