===The Commander===
The Commander is a very special unit in the game, in addition to having strong armour and having special features like the very powerful weapon called the "D-gun", being cloakable and being able to capture enemy units the Commander is also the unit that can construct buildings the fastest of all and also houses almost all of the energy and metal resources of the player, and most importantly the game can be set to end if the Commander is killed.

Even if the game is not set to end if the Commander is lost this is critical to be avoided at all costs until post mid-game (unless the player can gain an extreme advantage somehow which is mentioned in later sections). Post mid-game the player has enough resource storage facilities and resources in general that losing the commander is not as important, however another "feature" of the Commander is the powerful explosion it makes when destroyed, this has to be carefully taken into account as it can be an advantage in some cases and a disadvantage in others (elaborated in later sections).
