Walkthrough

- 2There is no Fog of War.
- 3Secure all resources on the island, including the Ore Node to the southeast.

- 7Build defenses to block Shinzo's Shinobi attacks.
- 8If one commander is close to defeating the other, attack the winning commander while their forces are away from their base.
- 9Prioritize destroying enemy production structures first to weaken them, then destroy the rest of their structures.
Recommended Arsenal & Factions:
- Soviets: Twinblades and MiGs are effective. Avoid Hydrofoils. Akula Subs and Dreadnoughts are powerful once unlocked.
- Allies: Vindicators can bomb high-priority targets. Assault Destroyers can pursue retreating enemies. The Harbinger is very powerful when available.
- Empire of the Rising Sun: Chopper-VX and Tengu squads are effective.
Hezzara's Imperial Strategy:
- Prioritize securing Refineries, including the southern water-based ones, and Docks Cores.
- Use Yari Minisubs to destroy the southern base's docks early on.
- Defend your water Refinery and destroy the southern base's Docks again if necessary.
- Use support powers on the currently winning commander to keep Shinzo and Hill fighting each other.
- Once the southern base is dealt with, use a combined Tsunami, Tengu, and VX attack.
- Claim eastern water Ore Nodes.
- Use Tsunamis to destroy enemy Docks and VX to destroy Shoguns.
- Sneak attack the winning commander's base while they are fighting the other.
- A VX rush to eliminate the southern island quickly is suggested.
Tips
- This is a battle of attrition. Shinzo has more bases, but Hill has the Aircraft Carrier.
- Prevent either opponent from overpowering the other.
- The Veteran Academy is a key target to neutralize.
- Build defenses against Shinobi attacks.
- If one commander is winning, attack them while their forces are deployed.
