Noah cannon assault uef strategie. Get all of the mass you can, build lots of power, research buildings , and AA emplacements. Tech up the structure tree to Noah cannons. While doing this, pump out interceptors and a few bombers out of air factory. You should have about 2000 mass and tons of power at this point, as well as tons of tech points. Build 2 cannons, and assign one engi to each to speed up the already blazing build time of rockheads. Then tech the land tree (this is why you neeeeeeeeeeed research) fast till you have shields,triple guns, tank AA and are going up the combat experience zone. Now continuously load and fire full salvos ( which is a lot) at the enemy base. Tech up more and build more noah as needed. Note: this is a better stray for team games, asyou will need to spend precious mass on anti ground or naval units. If the enemy does something smart...ADAPT. Don't follow this strat to the letter if it doesn't work. You may or may not want to say round one, fight as you launch your attacks. Happy killing.

The bets method I have found, which leaves it open for you to do as you please is the following (may be restricted if using start timer)

Use UEF, build 4 mass extractors and 2 research stations, keep mixing between research stations and power until you have 8 power stations and 5 research, this will be slow, but will pay off.

For research unlocks, only do the top Row for these (quicker build, cheaper build, research boost, then mass boost, then mass convertors). As soon as you have built 5 convertors build as many power generators as you can, then you can really start doing some serious damage, after that, do what you want, but i recommend lots of air defence, and adding air/direct fire defenses to buildings for that first assault.

The biggest thing about this game is in two parts:

1) Start up is ESSENTIAL. Weakening your economy or spending too many resources towards structures will cost you dearly in the future. Avoid crippling your economy off the start as it will slow your build up process. Also, try to find the perfect blend between defense and building. Air units are excellent when set on patrols around your base.

2) DO NOT OVER EXTEND YOUR REACH! Building a base too far or moving your units too far, etc etc, will leave you open to an attack. I have seen many players fall because they sent their acu too far away from their base, or they spread their units, defense structures, and defenses too far apart. Be careful, be wise, and trust your judgement.

CALLING ALL ILLUMINATE PLAYERS!! the best tactic is to build about 7 or 8 energy generators and build on every mass spot that you can reach. your ACU shold be building air defences. When one engineer is done make him build light ground defences. The other one should build research stations and research resource upgrades (upgrades that increase the amount of resources u get) and the Loyalty Gun. When you get the loyalty gun, build lots of them at the choke points to your base. That will give you an army. Research military upgrades and build factories (dosent matter what type). Then build loyalty guns closer to the enemy, guarding it with aa. keep slowly getting closer to your enemy until u have a sizeable army. then attack. this tactic will work most of the time, but you will not have enough mass at the beginning. if you know how to get plenty of mass at the start, or you turned off research, then ajust my guide.

im new to the game but i have question. once i was in a game and some beam thing came from all the way from their base and started capturing all my units? what was it?

also how can i make a good defense 'cos i always get rushed and stuff and its annoying.

Don't bother with Noah cannon, loyalty gun is good but if they build bombers before it is fully built it is useless. You could try and get loads of mass converters, but the amount of energy generators needed would be very hard to defend. Most of the strategies posted so far would be useless online.

i play with 3 AI's i set 1 friend cheting turtle 2 hostels 1 on normal 1 on cheating not cheaying turtle but when ever i FINALY git a army up to lunch a attack my friend has allredy CARPIT NUKED everything and it no fun itslike i wasted 17 min of my life can someone help me find a way to stop my friend from nukeing everyone


P.S reallllllllllllllllllllllllly sorry about spelling

How can I maximise my defense when I start making my far-out Mass Extractors into mini-bases?

I was playing supreme commander 2 on my Xbox and the other team started to build things instanly we were 6 mins into the game and one of the enimes had over 50 long range artillerys aiming at my base. Can someone tell me how he did that.
