Misc. Strats

Strategies For the Core Commander:
Commanders are awesome builders and reclaimers. Use them to build stuff, not just your first base, but help out with Adv Vehicle Plants that are cranking out your army of 30 Goliaths, or whatever.

Also use Comms to reclaim stuff, especially on maps with lots of trees that take up build space. They reclaim pretty quick and, if you're bored of that, just DGun everything down!

Speaking of DGun thats what Comms are really good for. If enemy is attacking and your defenses are too weak bring in the Comm and DGUn the suckers! That is unless they have about 30 Bulldogs and 100 Brawlers and 60 Zippers and.....

Comms are the ONLY unit that can capture. Use this to your advantage! Against AI in skirmish you can get outlying buildings that aren't defended, especially radar and get coverage over entire enemy base... just defend it first, hehe. Against human players on the net you could capture a whole secret base if your quick enough!

Last, Comms can be the most devastating unit in the game early on. If game continues when Comm dies then as soon as game starts, against AI or player (if there's just one) build KBot lab then ADV KBot lab REALLY quick and crank out 5 or 6 roaches, and get Aircraft up with about 6 Valkyries, one for each roach and one extra. Load up all roaches and the Comm, fly Valkyries over enemies base, and CTRL-D self-destruct. Watch the 2x2 screen BOOM!

PS Self-destructing things like Roaches makes a stronger explosion than letting them just blow up.

Strategies for Core Units:
The Arm's strategy is to be quick and sneaky and use spies and stuff. This is NOT the answer for CORE! In my experience the CORE is brawlers! Try building something neat to draw Arm forces nearby, say something like fusion reactor they want to hit&run or something. Just out of LOS of the reactor put about 4 plasma cannons or even Intimidators to rip the weakling hit&run guys (probably Zippers or something) into scrap metal!

CORE is best if you use their big guns a lot. Put up Intimidators all over and if you have CC use the Buzzsaw when you get a chance, but put about 30-40 construction planes to repair it or it'll never get done! Buzzsaw needs 4000 energy to shoot but its REALLY worth it, watch it carve huge paths out of your enemys base and KABOOM!

Last, The CORE SoulReaver unit from TADD is very awesome. They take forever and tons of energy to build but just get one and guard it well! He's a turning force in battles if enemy attacks you and you lose your 20 sumos or seomthing, just resurrect them quicker than more can be built and hit enemy. He'll be really surprised!
