Map of Rhen Var: Citadel
Map of Rhen Var: Citadel
  1. Your starting command post. It's inside a building that's detached from the main citadel, and it's really easy to defend.
  2. The northeast command post, just outside the entrance to the catacombs. It's really easy to capture from the catacombs, not so much from the other direction.
  3. This command post is underground, in the catacombs. It can be a pain to find people among all the pillars and tombs, so try not to let the enemy get this one.
  4. The Keep. Its capture is this level's secondary objective, meaning that the team that loses control of it will receive a larger drop in their reinforcement count than when losing a normal CP.
  5. Be careful taking this command post, you can be shot at from about 5 different directions.
  6. Your enemy's starting command post, also enclosed in an outlying building. Opposing units tend to hide behind it and wait until all your allies go away, then recapture it.
  7. There's only one way to get to this command post, making it difficult to capture and easy to defend. There is simply no way to take this one by yourself.

Overview

  • Your faction: Empire
    • Easy reinforcements: 250
  • Opposing army: Rebels
    • Easy reinforcements: 200
  • Vehicles on map: none

Walkthrough

Strategy #1 Start as a normal soldier at your only command post (1). Make your way to the east and into the catacombs and capture that command post (3). Keep moving east to the next command post, but watch it: chances are enemy units will beat you there. Keep fighting, using the tunnel as cover, and claim that CP.

Now, the choice is yours. If you're up for a challenge, move through the city to the Keep (4), and take out the enemy soldiers hiding amongst the many pillars and ramps. Or you could walk down the steps and try to take the CP opposite yours on the map, being careful not to outrun your allies. Watch for the turret at the bottom of the stairs. Alternatively, if you die you can spawn at CP 1 and try to take CP 5. Keep your back to a wall so people can shoot at you from only 3 directions.

Whichever you choose, you'll eventually have to run the gauntlet and take CP 7, but if you outnumber the opposing units, it shouldn't be a problem. Find the rest of the enemies (look behind their first command post if you're having trouble), or just capture and control all the command posts. Of course, this part should be kind of obvious by now....

Strategy #2 Start as a Dark Trooper at CP1, with haste, boost your way up to CP7 and capture it. Looking back, you'll see the rebels come storming up from their base, they will try and take CP7. Bob down next to the medical droid and shoot them until your troops come in to repel them back. Then boost across to the second floor of CP6, then make your way down the stairs until the CP is just around the corner. Wait behind the corner while the CP turns to yours, if any rebels are just around the corner, bounce a grenade off the wall to where they are standing. If not, just shoot them. Then defend it until a couple of your dudes spawn there. The rest is up to you, this is just a good starting strategy.
