metabolical said: ↑ What do you do about this balance change? Do you try and rush to the Meta tier as quickly as possible? What does that mean? Does it mean that you need to expand in the basic tier and try to take over as much territory as you can so you have the best possible chance to afford it? If you rush it, do you think you will get killed by basic tier units while you try to build it? Click to expand...

That heavily depends on how easy it is to defend your expansions.Assuming the current balance would just be changed to have that meta tier I am sure it would not change actually that much. Perfect play would try to expand aggressively while attacking your opponent to prevent them from expanding. Looking at the numbers I'd say the price of your meta tier is too high for most 1v1 to be a reasonable choice, most games end before any player even has made 1 million metal. Like it takes 30 minutes before a player has made 1 million metal overall.For meta tech to be a reasonable choice from a player's point of view the game must have reached a state were falling behind 1 million metal in units is acceptable because the overall amount of units in the field is so big that 1 million is only a not that big % of it. So very unlikely to be of any real use.
