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
- 1At 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.
- 2Build a vehicle plant, then an advanced vehicle plant and a Spider.
- 3Use the Spider to paralyze Pyros and a CORE construction KBot patrolling the top area.
- 4Capture these paralyzed units with your Commander.
- 5Have the Commander capture solar collectors and metal extractors along the top area.
- 6Build Sentinel towers and a few missile towers to protect the middle ramp, along with one or two Guardians.
- 7Once you have at least one fusion plant, start constructing an Annihilator at the top of the ramp.
- 8Use Peepers to patrol the area at the bottom of the middle ramp for early detection.
- 9Build a Bertha cannon to attack reachable areas of the CORE base, despite high walls limiting its range.
- 10Build three fusion reactors to ensure the Annihilator has sufficient power.
- 11Use Brawlers or Phoenix strategic bombers to attack the CORE base. Keep Phoenix aircraft together for concentrated laser fire against CORE aircraft.
- 12Prioritize attacking CORE vehicle, KBot, and aircraft plants.
