Base defense
Quick notes
- Match defenses to the threat. Pillboxes and Sentry Guns address infantry; anti-air systems stop aircraft; stronger powered defenses cover different ground threats.
- Track the superweapon countdown. A superweapon announces long-term pressure.
- Protect the power network. A defense line dependent on power can fail when generators are destroyed.
- Use mobility to break a siege. A static base can be bypassed or bombarded.
