Meant for combined arms gameplay. RTS-like, with AAI.
As an army, as you said.
Means: mg robots or armor cleans the path for tanks and/or artillery to shell the nests.
Best played vs slower (minus 15-30% speed), high hp biters and very tough nests (3-40k hp) defended by tough, long range, deadly worms ^_^
And supposed to be used in relatively high numbers (ups may fall)
