8 Philip Sorensen - philby@castle.net.au This mission is easy if you're quick at the start. Group all your units, and send them down and to the left, towards the symmetric's base. They'll probably meet about 2 4x4 pickups and 2 bikes, kill them. While this is happening, build two power stations to the top left of your base near the oil patch, a derrick, a few shot gun guys and an alchemy hall. As soon as you have done this, go and check on your units. Keep going down and to the left 'till you come to an opening to their base. Go left, kill the cannon tower, and destroy as many power stations and tankers as you can. Go up and kill their oil rig, then come back down, and make sure they don't rebuild anything. Go back to your base, build more shot gun guys, and send them down with your other units. Research the clan hall, and put flamers on infinite. Build more power stations and derricks as needed. Send all infantry down to your other units. With your army, go right and kill the cannon tower, then their machine shop. Once you have taken and held this area, it's just a matter of time. Down lower and to the right is derricks and power stations defended by cannon towers. Build a beast enclosure and get beetles, and take out the missile tower at the top of the base, then you can sit your army here until you swarm through the valley and kill them all. Watch out though - the AI uses air strikes in this mission. There's probably a better way to kill their base at the start, but I'm doing this from memory. I remember it was pretty easy though. Tan Yu Jin - tyj@pl.jaring.my In this mission, you need to know that there's one tech bunker to the west of the map and the only way to get it is through the enemy base on the south. Don't worry about that first. Get two derricks ready and set up two power stations near it. Now take your 2 mammoths, trucks, scorpions and wolfs staright down to the south west. You will see some trucks approaching and you should not have any problem disposing of them. Now move all your units until you reach the enemy base junction. There will be a cannon on the left. Destroy it and move your forces to the left and get the bunker. Destroy the oil rig as well. Position one of your remaining forces on to the oil spot and the AI won't send any more oil derricks. At the same time, you should build your alchemy hall and quickly upgrade only the clan hall first. Train lots of shotgunners(around 30 of them) and straight away position them in front of the enemy base. This way they don't even have chance to come near my base, so I don't have to build those defence cannons and can focus only on attacking. The AI will try to build the cannon again. Use the robot to destroy it. When the enemy tries to send some forces up they will have to deal with all your shotgunners. They are quite good at taking out even the autocannons, so train plenty of them. After a while, you should be getting crazy harrys. Put them to infinite. Position all of them at the entrance of the enemy base. When you have lots of them, storm the base together with the robot by going towards south. There will be an autocannon next to the vehicle factory. Destroy it and move south. There will be 2 cannons protecting the oil rig at the bottom. Destroy the cannons and the oil rig. Train even more crazy harrys and upgrade your beast enclosure so that you will get those beetles and crabs. With another big group of crazy harrys (10 should be enough) and move them to the east through the narrow passage at the bottom of the screen. Destroy another two oil rigs which are protecting the oil derrick. And now it's party time! The enemy is hopeless if you have conquered all their oil rigs. It's up to you how you want to whack them. You can either let the beetles and crabs to join in the attack or you can rely on those crazy harrys. Another reminder, be on the lookout as the AI send those bombers quite frequently but after you have destroy all their oil rigs, the bombing stops and it's your turn to rip them apart. With this approach the mission should be completed less than an hour. . SUBMIT YOUR STRATEGY HERE
