Ive found 2 strategies that work for me quite a bit. one, its not as good as the other. but still has a light effect.
[b]Cold War Gone Hot
first off, wait till you have enough resources, then build a Special Operations, next...3 Armorys. yes, 3. all supplying the resources needed to launch missles. this has worked 2 times, but, if you have monarchy, and are producing lots of.....purple stuffs :P (thinks its called influence) you can always waste about 130 of it on (i think) 3 special operations team(with 2 snipers, meditecs, etc).
[i] My Usual.
here is the order it goes in:
Bank-
Get 50 cash-
Bank > Treasury-
Outpost > Barracks (if needed deploy a couple marines or tanks before upgrading.)-
Armory-
Barracks > Arsenal-
and now, Hospital.
On Multiplayer, you can usualy tell your ally to take Spec Ops and Forge>,this works well.
ok, if your being all out attacked, idk what to do (lol, srry,) but, if the enemy is kinda laying low, build some hovers, meditec teams, squads, whatever there called, and marines (if you have the resources)
and set up "Artillery Positions" as me and my friends say, JUUUUUUUST inside range of the enemys unit spawn point. when they spawn, hopefully, if youve (or ive) did it wrigt, they will instantly be Pwnt. amass a quite large force where you have the hover tank artillery, then, when there dry of units, Push The Attack!
I know, this is Quite Handsomely Far from being a good strategy, but it worked for meh..and still..this is coming from a rank: 3.
so, it worked for me, i rly hope it worked for you! thx for taking time to read this. peace out =P
