Learn how to effectively build and utilize the Fortification Wall in Total Annihilation. This guide covers its strategic placement and defensive capabilities.
Walkthrough
- 1Placement: Identify key choke points, approaches to your base, or areas you wish to defend. Place walls strategically to create kill zones or to funnel enemies into areas where your defenses are strongest.
- 2Construction: The wall is constructed by a Construction Unit (either a constructor bot or a construction ship). Ensure you have sufficient metal resources and a construction unit available to build it.
- 3Defense: While the wall itself has health and can be destroyed, it serves as an initial obstacle. Units behind the wall can fire over it, providing cover for your troops.
- 4Support: Walls are most effective when supported by other defensive structures like turrets, or by mobile units that can engage enemies as they attempt to break through or go around the wall.
- 5Expansion: Walls can be used to expand your defensive perimeter as you gain map control.
Tips
- Walls are less effective against air units.
- Consider leaving gaps or creating specific entry points that can be heavily fortified with turrets to create ambush points.
- Walls can be used to block off enemy expansion or to trap units.
- Pay attention to the terrain; natural choke points can be enhanced with walls.
- Keep construction units nearby to repair or extend walls under fire.
