Winning tips

• build at least two ore refineries in the start of the game (This will make sure you are covered with cash for a while)
• do not waste units. Example do not attack with one medium tank against the enemy. Such a attack will make you lose both production time and money. This will also alert the enemy player to build defense which could be difficult to break later in game.
• if you want to attack early in game you should do so with long distance weapons. Make sure you can back up those weapons with example Anti-air or anti-tank.
• always make sure the ore trucks go to the closest ore refineries, and that they are right next to the ore
• sell unused ore refineries
• use arrow keys for moving the screen and disable scrolling when touching the edges with mouse. This increase control over the screen and your units.
• have highest resolution and a big screen
• always search for crates
• always have a defensive building ready to be deployed. This will give you some time to backup your base when attacked. (Pillbox/Flametower early in game and Tesla/Turret later in game)
