'''Narration:''' ''Water was an especially important resource for the Arm, whose soldiers still made use of organic components. Nigh Pilago was a principal source of that water. Once covered completely by a single, vast ocean, the planet had been drained to the point where small land masses were beginning to appear.'' | |||

The seas of Nigh Pilago are swarming with Arm naval units. Communication intercepts imply that the Arm has developed a new, more powerful Carrier ship. In addition to serving as a mobile repair base for air units, the Carrier has the capability to generate tremendous energy levels. Destroy all Carriers that you find. | The seas of Nigh Pilago are swarming with Arm naval units. Communication intercepts imply that the Arm has developed a new, more powerful Carrier ship.

Space is at a premium, and there are a lot of little islands for Arm to hide out on. Get started quickly building to get some KBots out and resources coming in. Crashers and Storms will be a good defense against the naval and amphibious attacks coming fast. Build a Construction KBot as soon as you can manage, and keep repairing and rebuilding any structures you lose. Building Punishers along the northern and eastern shores of the island will help your defenses dramatically if you can get enough of them. | Space is at a premium, and there are a lot of little islands for Arm to hide out on. Before starting on building anything you might want to burn down the forest with you D-Gun directly west to your starting position. That way no enemy will start a fire and destroy all your buildings at once. Get started quickly building to get some KBots out and resources coming in.

As soon as you can, start advancing your structures to level 2, tearing down level 1 structures (or building an Advanced structure where a level 1 structure was destroyed by the Arm assault). Start with Moho Mines and Fusion Plants, so resource drains don't get too heavy. Get an Advanced Radar Tower up as soon as possible to start attacking the enemy with the Punishers (instead of trying to maintain a defensive posture indefinitely). Replace the Punishers with Intimidators to extend your range and damage. At this point, it should be safe to build a Shipyard. As usual, this will bring Arm's ships coming as fast as they can to attack the Commander. Target them quickly with your base's defenders, but remember to pull the Commander out of harm's way if needed (or maybe submerge the Commander the get away from the surface ships' weapons). | As soon as you can, start advancing your structures to level 2, tearing down level 1 structures (or building an Advanced structure where a level 1 structure was destroyed by the Arm assault).
