Before prides and stuff:

2 Outposts, 2 armories, tank and marine spam, pray you win.

After prides and stuff:
I go bank, spec ops, and you should have around 70 cash/energy once they make their first attack...wait for the marine sto get in front and killed by the base, then kill the air units with a missile, hit the tanks if you can, or just wait for the base to finish up the leftovers, then missile the tanks. Get out a pride, and build prides+spec ops teams for the medics, while missiling ifit gets too tough. Keep building banks/generators till you get treasuries+solar grid, and it should be over...I personally just missiled their base once I had 300 cash/energy.

You glitcher. Why would we all want to cheat and make arsenal? The game isn't supposed to let me you arsenal in that case.

My strategy:

1: Build bank.
2: Build another bank.
3: Build special operations.
4: Set special operations on Auto-black operations.
5A: Timing is the key. Use 1 missile to kill off the scouts or the marines and chronite tanks before your ally's scouts are hit. OR:
5B: Save up for 2 missiles. 1 missile for the marines and chronite tanks. The other for the scouts.
6: Make an influence unit/squad once you have the resources to do so (Make either special forces or an A-27 Pride for which a far sniper will get killed too easily).
7:Control the influence unit/squad wisely.
8: Upgrade bank to treasury, or use it for a missile depending on the situation.
9: Upgrade 2nd bank to treasury, or use it for a missile depending on the situation.
10: Make the next influence unit while upgrading your banks. Use them wisely.
11: By this time you will be low on energy. You might have 1 last shot for 1 missile, but after that use the remaining money you have for a generator.
12: Upgrade generator to a solor grid.
13: The rest is up to you. Use your influence units and your missiles wisely. Don't screw up.

What are you talking about? Glitching? Arsenal is entirly possible on mission 5. Though I usually just make prides because they are my favorites.

O_o

AFAIK, mission 5 is only outpost, maybe barracks (been some time), special operations bank/treasury, and generator/solar grid.

Heck, only way to get a medic is the spec ops team.

In mission 6, you get everything.

You could also just ignore everything your partner says and do whatever you want and tell him to shut up, then say hello and he will act like the quick start bots.

Mission 5 is so easy

1. Bank
2. Armory on money
3. Another armory on money
4. Outpost
5. Barracks
6. Put armories on manpower
7. Produce unlimited Grotz

This strategy will always win the mission
