Meta is just the name given to a context. You refer to some RTS like starcraft. I won't learn to you that on Age of Empires 2, for example, the meta varies wildly between 2 vs 2 on a Arabic map, and a 3 vs 3 on a Black Forest map.
It's just how it goes. A context.
It is staged indeed, and we do need it, like in every sports, to provide a setting where luck is as little involved as possible when determining a victor.
If you read someone stating that the meta of challenges applies per se on public games, i can correct him : public games have their own meta. X1 and X4 have their own meta.
For example, the MRL is considered the meta artillery for 24/24 players due to long experience of sleepless fighting and general consensus that "yeah, it's the best artillery for its tactical role".
It's however obvious to anyone with a brain that deploying MRL and MRL only is a tedious and long process, unfit with the requirements of a public game. Nobody sensible will argue that rushing MRLs in a context where you'd need to be left alone to your own devices for 10 days straight before fielding even REMOTELY a good bunch of them (especially since it's the T2 that is overwhelming, aka day 18) is good, optimised (and OPTIMISATION is the key word to ALL statistical, mathematical, and operational studies, both in real and online world). I wouldn't even call it "viable".
In other words, rushing MRL isn't meta. Far from it. And i don't think i woud bother to invest in MRLs if i was playing a flashpoint, due to the game being finished before it reaches T2.
I think there has been a lot of misunderstanding about what you may have heard of the game : if you have any question about how the community works or how the game modes are separated, feel free to ask, there are a lot of different game modes around there, for all tastes.

No you don't. Because it's important part of the game. You have to know how to build from the start using low tier units. To expand, attack and defend with low tier units but also when to start researching mid game units and when top tier. When to build them.That is the beauty of the game.Kalrakh wrote:
Without a truce, it would be only a brawl with low tier units, like infantry and recons.
You need the truce to build up real force for more advanced tactics like MRL and ballistic missiles.
Not been able to have everything or create super-meta stack.
If you skip that early and mid game and go for top tier only it is like playing starcraft or company of heroes. Quick real time strategy up to 2h gameplay max.
It's ok, I like all real time strategies but it's not CoN.
Btw how can I play with smaller country for example some Balkan nation or eastern European etc if I can't attack others in early game?
To let Germany or France even Italy to build units and buildings and not attack?
Cmon there's no point in that.
I have to attack biggest and closest threat! Then next one, than next... All in first 15 days. It's a must.

You are entirely right on the fact we couldn't compete on a operational and skill level with a dedicated player of public games, especially X4. If, as a cherry on the cake, he plays on mobile, i think i would surrender at the moment i encounter him.
Those people are too trained, too active, and too knowledgable in the game for us to compete.

There is one organised currently. We call those melting pots. But their rules tend to vary from one to other event.
The first one had basically no rule, the second had no pre-set coalitions, and this one, they are experimenting about pre-made coalitions with mixed blood (between alliances) and an incredibly long peace period.

Never said that. You got it wrong. I was talking about meta-units trash talk all over the forum.
I really don't want to talk about your dedication to the game, your organisation, training of your members, their skill lvl and game mechanic understanding.
I don't imply anything about you or any other expert player.
I don't consider muself as an expert in CoN.
I don't want to be. I have real life and I am too old to be CoN expert. My first cpu was C64 - that old.
I never said you can't beat some random player in a public game.
Btw why don't you have alliance tournaments were nothing is staged and multiple alliances are involved as in-game coalitions?
