Combat
Understanding combat mechanics helps you win battles efficiently.
Targeting
- Right-click enemy - Attack that specific target
- Attack-move (A + click) - Move to location, attack enemies along the way
- Units auto-acquire targets within range based on stance
Stances
| Stance | Key | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Aggressive | F | Chase enemies anywhere on map |
| Defensive | G | Attack nearby, return to position |
| Hold Ground | H | Never move, only attack in range |
Default stance is Aggressive. Use Defensive for guard duty, Hold Ground for ambushes.
Weapon Types
Different weapons perform differently against armor types:
| Weapon | Best Against | Weak Against |
|---|---|---|
| Bullet | Infantry | Vehicles |
| AP Bullet | Light vehicles | Infantry |
| Cannon | All-round | Heavy armor |
| Heavy Cannon | Heavy armor, buildings | Infantry |
| Rocket | Vehicles | — |
| Missile | Heavy armor, air | Ground infantry |
| Flame | Infantry | Heavy armor |
| Sniper | Infantry | Everything else |
| Laser | Everything equally | — |
Armor Types
| Armor | Found On |
|---|---|
| Infantry | All foot soldiers |
| Light | Rangers, APCs, Harriers |
| Medium | Light Tanks, Flame Tanks |
| Heavy | Heavy Tank, Mammoth, Harvester |
| Building | All structures |
Splash Damage
Some weapons deal area damage:
| Weapon | Splash Radius |
|---|---|
| Rocket | 25 |
| Grenade | 35 |
| Flame | 30-50 |
| Artillery | 60 |
| MLRS | 80 |
| Demo Truck | 150 |
TIP
Group infantry loosely to reduce splash damage casualties.
Aircraft Combat
Helicopters:
- Sustained firepower with rockets
- Flexible, can attack any target
- Must be built at factory level, requires Tech Center
Harriers:
- Single devastating strike per sortie
- Returns to Air-Force Command to reload
- Select Air-Force Command + right-click enemy = launch all docked Harriers
Anti-Air:
- SAM Sites (building defense)
- Rocket Soldiers (infantry)
- Helicopters can target other aircraft
Interception
SAM Sites and MLRS have interception auras that shoot down incoming missiles and artillery shells:
| Unit | Aura Radius | DPS vs Projectiles |
|---|---|---|
| SAM Site | 200 | 150 |
| MLRS | 120 | 80 |
| Rocket Soldier | 60 | 40 |
This makes massed SAMs effective against artillery bombardment.
Demo Trucks
The Demo Truck is a suicide unit:
- Explodes on contact with enemies
- Also explodes when destroyed
- 600 damage in 150 radius
- Can chain-react with other Demo Trucks
DANGER
Keep Demo Trucks away from your own units—friendly fire is very real.
