| Turret'sThis is the most important part of
building a good base. I will now go through some common and useful
turret combinations to help maximize your defense.Gun/Mortar Turrets Gun
Turret on the outside, Mortar Turret on the inside Pros- This will keep your Mortar Turret
safe from being sniped with air units. Also it is good against tanks as
they would have to go further to kill the Mortar Turret and suffer more
damage.Cons- Hellfire will usually decimate
this type of base because they will be able to target Gun Turrets, Then
their splash damage would wreck the rest of your base as they are
targeting the Gun Turrets. (Unless you have a lot of AA units defending)Mortar
on the outside, Gun Turret on the insidePros- This will keep your base from being
anti-hellfire.Cons-This will allow your Mortar Turrets to be potentially
sniped with air units and also baited much easier. Mortar out, Gun in Gun out, Mortar inPlasma/Rocket Barrage TurretsPlasma
on the outside, Rocket Barrage on the inside.Pros- Anti tank, and if a meat shield is
used the Rocket Barrage will decimate all infantry.Cons- Always the possibility you don’t
have enough AA and an air attack ravages you.(Need picture)Laser/Rocket Barrage TurretsLaser
Turrets on the outside, Rocket Barrages on the insidePros- Will destroy any infantry/tank
easily.Cons- Hellfire can outrange Laser
Turrets and with proper colossus placement your Rocket Barrage will be
rendered useless as Hellfire’s target your Laser Turrets. Also never
forget to think of a potential air attack.(Need picture)Shock
Turret/Laser-Plasma-Mortar-HellfireShock
Turret inside and Laser-Plasma-Mortar-Hellfire Turrets next to/in front
of it.Pros- Can stop large tanks like
Behemoths/Mega’s, while Laser-Plasma-Mortar-Hellfire Turrets shoot and
kill them.Cons- Shock turrets don’t help much in
killing enemies; This combo also reduces the amount of Turrets you have
that can actually KILL the enemy.(Need picture)Mortar/Rocket Barrage-Shock TurretsMortar
on the outside, Rocket Barrage-Shock Turrets on the insidePros- Will be decent against infantry and
tanksCons- If no good AA, air will shred it.
Also Heavy tanks such as Behemoths/Mega’s will wreck it.
BunkersThere are 3 types of
bunkers, Regular, Watchtower, and Stronghold. Each of these bunkers
specializes in certain things.Regular-
all around good bunker-Good for riflemen,
Stinger, Mortar team, Sniper, Shock, Heavy Gunners, etc. (Put anything
you want in them)-Medium armor(Place
close/in your base) Regular Bunker
in action killing a tank and air unitsWatchtower- specializes in killing air-Put Riflemen,Heavy
Gunners, or Stinger-Low armor(Protect
heavily) Stingers in
Watchtower killing WarhawksStronghold-
specializes in killing ground-Put snipers, shock,
and mortar teams-High armor(Try to
keep it within your AA range) Stronghold
with mortar teams, shock trooper and snipersTIP: The more intwined your bunkers
are with your turrets, the greater your defense will be.MinesMine placement is
maybe not the most important aspect of a good base, but good mine
placement can help a lot. Also try to have your mine factory upgraded as
high as possible, so you will have enough mines to use them
effectively. Remember, Good mine placement can make the difference in if
your base survives or if you miserably fail. So I will walk you through
the 3 steps of setting up good mine placement.1.) Choosing
what type of mine setup you want-ClustersPros- If the enemy gets hit by the mines
they will be hit by 2-3, causing massive damageCons- When using clusters you have less
of a chance of actually hitting enemy tanks-Spread outPros- You are more likely to hit an
enemy tank with your mines if you spread them outCons-Because you are
spreading your mines out, if an enemy hits 1 mine, that is all they
would hit Clusters Spread out2.) Mine traps-Regular TrapPros- The “dumb attackers” will fall
right into themCons- The “smart attackers” will know to
dodge them-Fake trapPros- The “smarter attackers” will
usually trigger themCons- The “dumber attackers” will
usually walk right in to your opening which would have no mines-Spawn trapPros- If an enemy does not first send
minesweepers, their platoon will be wrecked by mines in their
spawn-pointCons- If the enemy does send
minesweepers, all of your mines in the spawn-point would be put to baseUse walls to change
the pathing of enemy units and redirect them into the mines: Regular Trap Fake Trap Spawn Trap3.) Mine
placement-Outside/On mortar rangePros- Will destroy Hellfire’sCons- Can be minesweeper even easier-Outside/On Gun rangePros- Harder to mine-sweepCons- Hellfire’s will not
hit the mines Mines just
outside of mortarUnitsTypes of units to
use as defense in your base.-HellfireUse hellfire on
parts of your base that are vulnerable to hellfire’s Hidden
Hellfire under Machine Gun turret killing a hellfire-Gatling
TruckUse Gatling trucks
to have extra defense against hellfire’s and air Gatlings
defending against 8 hellfires-Flak TankUse flak tanks
behind your turrets that can’t hit air, that way if they are snipe-able
the Flaks will wreck incoming air Flak tank
killing Warhawk-Honey badgerUse honey badger to
destroy Tanks such as Behemoth or Mega. They are really fast and get the
job done almost as well as suicide bombers(Need picture)-Suicide bombers/trucks When using suicide
bombers keep a few hidden in the core of your base, and a few hidden on
the outside of your base, like in trees or behind structures. For the
most part keep trucks in your base and hide them behind structures This image has
been resized to fit in the page. Click to enlarge.Hidden suicide
bombers and trucks ready to kill-Laser TankHide laser Tank
behind buildings so if an enemy gets to close it has already fired. Hidden laser
tank sneaking up on Rhino-Shock TankUse shock tanks in
your first line of defense. They can stop Mega’s/Behemoths and give you
turrets even more time to kill them(Need picture)Tip: All of these units make perfect
defense, mix and match these units for the best defense
Powerplants: Try
to have your powerplants upgraded to level 9-10 so 1-2 can power your
whole base. This will help in tightening your defenseWalls: Don't
put walls directly infront of Turrets, some units like hellfire have
slightly less range than a few turrets, so putting a wall in front of
turrets could give the hellfires the slightest advantage to shoot and
kill youRadio Tower: Turn on your radio
towers *Attack notifications* and register your email so you can know
the exact moment you are being hitResource management: a tactic some players use, is to
spend all their resources on an expensive, long upgrade before they log
out. This way, the resources cannot be looted by opponents. When they
log back in, they cancel the upgrade, and get all their resources back!Hiding towers: it’s always good to
give your opponent a nasty surprise when he’s attacking your base.
Hiding a few defensive towers is the perfect solution. You can hide one
turret behind a lvl 4 CC | |
