| Use your EMP Patriot turrets liberally; they are a decent all-around defense, and once the infantry stops moving, it's toast. | | Use your EMP Patriot turrets liberally; they are a decent all-around defense, and once the infantry stops moving, it's toast. |

| Get your Supply Drop Zones up before your Particle Cannons, so that when you run out of resources from your main supply dock, you still have a very good income. Use Supply Drop Zones liberally, five of them can be made per Reactor, as opposed to two and a half with the normal army. | | Get your Supply Drop Zones up before your Particle Cannons, so that when you run out of resources from your main supply dock, you still have a very good income. |

| Make sure to have more than enough power at all times, and space your Reactors out so as to avoid massive power loss. | | Make sure to have more than enough power at all times, and space your Reactors out so as to avoid massive power loss. |

| === Aurora Bomber, Stealth Fighter and Raptors ===
| |
| Build a number of each aircraft in your airports, mixing both Raptors and Aurora Bombers. With four Raptors, they can usually take out six light enemy units from a group of eight, with the other two either retreating or proceeding to a futile attack. While the Raptors (or other aircraft) is reloading, the Aurora Bomber can be sent to quickly catch up with the remaining unit to destroy them. Remember, Raptor's Alexander build expensive just like Kwai's MIG. Alternatively, the Auroras can help soften any AA units within the attacking force, before the Raptors start their attack.

| ===Double Expand===
| |
| ''Note: this strategy is modified for skirmishes starting with 5000$.''
| |
|
| |
| #Set your first Dozer to create a reactor.
| |
| #Build a supply center, and then another supply center at another nearby supply depot or pile of supplies. Note: this is not a good build if there are no nearby supply depots aside from your main.
| |
| #Build your EMP patriot and then upgrade your reactor to control rods.
| |
| #Focus then on getting another another Chinook for each supply center and building more EMP patriots until you feel safe.
| |
| #When you have a good amount of money, build another Dozer and constantly build units and additional buildings.
| |
| #Try to get out your Comanche quickly to bolster defense against infantry marches and to support against mass tanks.
| |
| #Get your Strategy Center up, followed by your Supply Drops or fast Particle Cannon.
| |
| #Late game isn't quite set in concrete, but the general strategy of mass Aurora Bombers followed by mass Comanche works very well to quickly soften defenses and sweep in with Comanches upgraded with Rocket Pods.
| |
| #Alternatively, you can fortify your base even more and go mass Particle Cannon.
| |
| #This build is good for getting you set up with good cash income early in the game.
| |
|
| |
| ===Fast 'Racks===
| |
| ''Note: this strategy is modified for skirmishes starting with 5000$.''
| |
|
| |
| #Set your first Dozer to create a reactor.
| |
| #Build a supply center followed by a Barracks and upgrade Capture Building as soon as possible.
| |
| #Build a few Rangers to then capture Oil Derricks, then set them to either defend the Derricks if they are in neutral territory, or rally them to defend your front lines.
| |
| #Transition into airfield, strategy center, and then either air power, mass particle cannon, or whatever strategy you wish.
| |
| #This build is good for getting you set up with good cash income early in the game.
| |
| #Capturing Oil Derricks is a good way to establish yourself in the early game, as the 1000$ bonus you receive can really push you ahead in the game.
| |
| #Consider sending sacrificial rangers to Oil Derricks around the map, just to collect on the 1000$ bonus.

| ===Cannon Rush/Proxy 'Racks===
| |
| ''Note: this strategy is modified for skirmishes starting with 5000$.''
| |
| This plan works ideally against the US or China.
| |
|
| |
| #Scan your adjacent enemy and plop down your spy drone on another nearby enemy team.
| |
| #Set your first Dozer to create a reactor.
| |
| #Build a supply center.
| |
| #Tell your Dozer to load into your first Chinook and fly over to the enemy's supply depot. Unload the Dozer and quickly create an EMP Patriot to one side of the supply depot, preferably to a side where it will allow it to use the enemy supply center as a shield against tank fire, and will still be able to fire at enemy supply gatherers.
| |
| #Tell your Chinook to return home and gather resources.
| |
| #Do not worry if they sent infantry to attack your dozer. Unless there are a lot, or they are the Chinese Infantry General, you will finish your patriot before they can destroy it or your Dozer.
| |
| #*This build will fail if they quickly get out missile infantry.
| |
| #*This build may fail, as it is very cheesy and can be easily counter by smart players, or bad luck. It is a gamble, but if it works, it can pay off in an easy victory.
| |
| #Build a Barracks close to your EMP patriot, and repair it if it drops too low on health.
| |
| #Research Capture Building, and create Rangers to capture the enemy's base.
| |
| #Go after their Supply Center and Command Center first, and then capture their War Factory and Barracks.
| |
| #If you kill their Chinooks or Supply Trucks, they will not be able to build anything, and you can safely capture their entire base. Now giving you extra income, and two tech paths.
| |
| #Transition this into late game Aurora Bomber or mass Particle Cannon, and whatever strategy works with the captured enemy base. Or get creative and synergize the two races together for unique fun builds.
