Quick notes
- Read the experimental role. An experimental is a specialist investment, not an automatic victory.
- Pay for the research path. Unlocking a distant node requires the preceding research choices.
- Protect both factory and route. An experimental under construction is vulnerable through its production infrastructure.
- Continue ordinary army production. Keep smaller units, anti-air and scouts active while building the centerpiece.
Pay for the research path
| Check | Question | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Research | Can the required path be completed? | Delay if unlocks are too distant |
| Economy | Can production finish before the attack? | Keep conventional forces if needed |
| Target | Can this weapon hit the important enemy? | Choose a matching role |
| Support | Are scouts and counters available? | Build an escort before advancing |
