Master of Stealth vs. Guerilla Warfare

As things stand, the advantages of guerilla warfare far outweigh it's disadvantages when compared to MoS. Witness the single biggest drawback of Guerilla Warfare: transport cost and range. Let's assume the player has cheaper transport and +2 capacity: one air transport costs 50 less and will carry 5 Marines
Guerilla Warfare: 750 + 400 = 1150
Master of Stealth: 550 + 5*160 = 1350.

So, the strat which is is bid as "no transports", the one which is sold as "slow moving but really cheap" can move long distances for cheaper than Master of Stealth.

Transports aside, let's look at that cost difference: Half as cheap marines which have 1 atk less and 1 range less. I mean, 80 dollars for marines is incredible: in a low income zone, after turn 10 and with enough countries, you can produce marines like there's no tomorrow.

Now, MoS is not a good strategy. First, the stealth advantage can be heavily mitigated by a good player using defence lines. this can't be helped, and applies to guerilla warfare too. Secondly, the two "big" units of Master of Stealth can't actually cap cities. I find MoS is slow to expand due to costs and essentially relying only on them very expensive marines to take cities.


I suggest that MoS were reworked, somehow, to make the "stealth" aspect a bit more unique? Perhaps Stealthed air transports OR allowing Marines onto Stealth Planes (with a drawback of less defence on all units)? Or +1 marine capacity in submarines?


As things stand (and a few top players agree with me), Master of Stealth is not a viable strategy when you can take Guerilla Warfare instead.
