Mission Two: Ambush
Objectives:
- Set up an ambush
- Capture the ISDF base intact
Start building up the base near one of the scrap pools while you build a few scavengers, guardians, a healer, and a builder. The base will soon be beset with periodic ISDF attacks from scouts and other occasionally heavier forces.
Now build up a strike force and head for the ambush nav point. Build a jammer at that location; have someone stay to defend it, then head to the ISDF base.
Once you attack the ISDF units, retreat to the ambush point where you can defeat the ISDF forces in a much more civil setting.
Build a scavenger to occupy the scrap pool near the new artillery nav point, then keep it well guarded. Build an archer or two, then start bombarding the ISDF base's power systems. Once that is done, and you've dispatched the outlying defenders, you can roll over the base with relative ease.
Mission Three: Crystals
Objectives:
- Complete the Scion base
- Attack the ISDF base
- Retrieve the power crystal
Build up the base, put out two scavengers, and start working up your defenses because the ISDF will start launching attacks against the base. The ISDF will also start setting up scavengers at nearby scrap pools - you'll need to destroy the extractors, which will draw the continual wrath of the ISDF. New scavengers/extractors will need to be guarded quite heavily.
There will be plenty of rocket tanks to hold up any small assault force - you'll have to clear them out first. |
You should be building up your base assault force, but before you do, take some fast movers and clean the path between your base and the ISDF base - there are plenty of rocket tanks sitting around that can be more than an annoyance if you leave them to your rear. They won't move far but they will hit you from a fair distance going either way. Don't forget to build a healer to back you up. Your assault force should also consist of about half assault and half mobile attack units (for the inevitable ISDF units you'll face).
The ISDF base isn't big - it's guarded by a number of mobile units and a gun turret Take on the turret while you order in your own units to fight his. Go after the nearby power generators and scavenger, and heal yourself whenever necessary. As soon as the enemy is taken care of, the base and power crystal are yours for the taking.
