Walkthrough for Total Annihilation Mission 21: CORE PRIME. Learn how to defend your base, capture enemy units, and destroy the CORE base with strategic unit placement and powerful weapons.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    At the start, build 2 light laser towers at the top of the middle ramp after constructing solar collectors and metal extractors near the galactic gate.
  2. 2
    Build a vehicle plant, then an advanced vehicle plant and a Spider.
  3. 3
    Use the Spider to paralyze Pyros and a CORE construction KBot patrolling the top area.
  4. 4
    Capture these paralyzed units with your Commander.
  5. 5
    Have the Commander capture solar collectors and metal extractors along the top area.
  6. 6
    Build Sentinel towers and a few missile towers to protect the middle ramp, along with one or two Guardians.
  7. 7
    Once you have at least one fusion plant, start constructing an Annihilator at the top of the ramp.
  8. 8
    Use Peepers to patrol the area at the bottom of the middle ramp for early detection.
  9. 9
    Build a Bertha cannon to attack reachable areas of the CORE base, despite high walls limiting its range.
  10. 10
    Build three fusion reactors to ensure the Annihilator has sufficient power.
  11. 11
    Use Brawlers or Phoenix strategic bombers to attack the CORE base. Keep Phoenix aircraft together for concentrated laser fire against CORE aircraft.
  12. 12
    Prioritize attacking CORE vehicle, KBot, and aircraft plants.
Tips
  • The CORE forces primarily use the middle pathway into your starting area.
  • The Spider is crucial for capturing enemy units and Kots.
  • Static defenses on the middle ramp will be effective against CORE troop advances.
  • Your Annihilator, once online, will prevent enemies from reaching your base.
  • Metal is abundant and not a concern for construction.
  • Massed Phoenix aircraft lasers can effectively destroy CORE aircraft.
