What began as a conflict over the transfer of consciousness from flesh 
to machine, escalated into a war which has decimated a million worlds. 
The Core and the Arm have all but exhausted the resources of a galaxy 
in their struggle for domination. Both sides, now crippled beyond 
prepare, the remnant if their armies continue to battle on ravaged 
planets, their hatred fueled by over 4000 years of total war. This is a 
fight to the death. For each side, the only expectable outcome is the 
complete elimination of the other...

|           |   7.  |   8.   | (9.)  |
======================================

 1. Map and Radar/Sonar
  
   This displays the overall map as well as the radar and/or sonar on 
the map. However, depending on how you set it, this entire area can 
appear in different ways: 

- You can have it on Mapped status, in which all of the terrain is 
visible. This doesnt mean that you can see everything, though. It 
means you can see the map in black and white, and that means only the 
terrain is visible. Enemy units cant be seen in that way. But, if you 
combine Mapped with Permanent line of sight, all the terrain is visible 
AND colored, so you can go wherever you want and see whatever you want 
as well, including your enemy units. This eliminates your need for 
radar and sonar completely.

- If you have the Unmapped status for your map, that means you start 
off the Skirmish with a black map, and it stays that way until you 
explore it. After you explore and leave the area, it stays visible, but 
not with a permanent line of sight.

- Radar/sonar appears in the same color of your team color, and the 
same goes for the enemy. You can spot enemy units through radar/sonar 
only with Radar Towers and Sonar Stations, and their advanced versions. 
Also, some structures and units come with automatic radar devices that 
can be used. (Such as the Commander and the Advanced Aircraft Plant)

- Just as a note, the settings for ALL Campaign missions are Unmapped, 
and the line of sight is on the True setting. Unmapped is the blacked-
out-until-explored mapping, and the True setting for line of sight 
means that a units view is affected by elevation. Also, the team 
colors appear as blue for you, and red for the enemy. Remember that the 
radar appears in the same color as the team the unit is on. 

 2. Metal Gauge

   This displays everything about your metal. The bar indicates how 
much metal you have left compared to your maximum amount. On the right 
of that, there is a green number with a plus sign and a red number with 
a negative sign. The plus sign number tells how much metal is being 
produced at the moment. The red negative number tells how much is being 
used up. So generally, you just the producing number to be higher and 
that way you wont run into any metal shortage problems.

 3. Energy Gauge

   This displays everything about your energy. The bar indicated how 
much energy you have left compared to your maximum amount. On the right 
of that, there is a green number with a plus sign and a red number with 
a negative sign. The plus sign number tells how much energy is being 
produced at the moment. The red negative number tells how much is being 
used up. So generally, you want the producing number to be higher and 
that way you wont run into any energy shortage problems.

 4. Unit Construction Choice/Commands

   When you click on a construction unit, a small screen should appear 
in this area with various pictures of units. These pictures can be 
clicked and placed somewhere, where the construction unit will 
nanolathe them. (Keep in mind that there can be more choices if you 
click on the arrow beneath the pictures.) This is the same for unit 
production plants such as a Kbot Lab. However, you can click Commands 
at the top of this section (Automatically Commands when clicking a 
non-construction unit) and this gives you a list of how you would like 
the unit to function.

 5. Battle Screen

   Well, this is obviously where you see everything, battle everything, 
build everything, etc. I pity you for even reading this, if you dont 
know whats going on in this part of the screen. =P

 6. Action Commands

   Whenever you click on any type of unit, these commands will appear. 
These give specific actions for the selected unit. These include basic 
commands such as Attack, Move, etc. A majority of the time, the unit 
will have at least one of these commands blacked out, and that simply 
means that that particular unit cannot use that command. This holds 
especially true with the D-Gun command...

 7. Life Gauge/Unit Data

   When you hold your pointer over a unit, a gauge will appear in this 
portion of the screen. This is the amount of life they have left in 
them. Full life means a full green meter, and red is the killed off 
part. So the more green, the better! (Unless were speaking of an enemy 
unit.) Also, when you are using a construction unit and choosing your 
unit to nanolathe, look down here for the metal and energy cost.

 8. Unit Action and Metal/Energy Production and Use

   First off, when you click a unit, there are those green and red 
numbers again. These show the units metal production, metal 
consumption, energy production, and energy consumption. The red and 
green numbers on the left display metal. (Green is production and red 
is consumption, in case you didnt take a hint. =P) The two numbers on 
the right display energy. And above them displays what the selected 
unit is doing. For instance, if a unit is doing nothing, it is marked 
as Ready. These actions include things like Moving, Attacking, 
Nanolathing, Ready with Orders, etc.

 9. Unit Being Attacked and Secondary Building Gauge

   This doesnt always appear when selecting a unit, so Ive put it on 
my little map in parentheses. This DOES appear in two situations:

  1) When a unit on your side is attacking or aiming for an enemy unit, 
the name of the enemy unit is displayed here, as well as the amount of 
life the enemy unit has.

  2) When you are making nuclear missiles from nuke launchers or nuke 
protection systems, the building progress shows up here. This is unique 
because those missiles are not actual units, and cannot be seen while 
building. So, if you want to make a nuke from a CORE Silencer, then 
click the picture to make one, then hold your mouse pointer over the 
Silencer and look in this area. It should display how much of the 
missile is done.

---
So now hopefully you know everything thats going on in the battle 
screen, so good luck!

II. UNITS

  Anyone thats played this game definetely knows that it is PACKED 
with tons of units to use. These units go from vehicles to planes, from 
laser towers to rapid-fire, long-range cannons, etc. So if you want the 
lowdown on them, look no further! Note that I do NOT supply information 
about units that can be downloaded from third party websites all over 
the Internet, as those are not official in any way. Only normal units, 
units from the expansion pack, units from the newest versions, and 
units that can be gotten from the Cavedog official website. 
(www.cavedog.com) have information.

Overall Talk: These are all basic units, thats why they are just level 
one. The construction Kbot can build some very useful things for the 
beginning of a battle, such as a Geothermal Powerplant or Guardian. 
Peewees are good in groups, as are Hammers. Hammers in large groups can 
take on a lot. Rockos are basically meant for long range attacks, so 
make sure you use them just for that. Jethros are an excellent defense 
against aerial attacks early in the battle, until you can make better 
things. Warriors are just a super version of a Peewee, and Fleas are 
excellent scouts, with their superior speed. (Theyre even faster than 
Zippers.)

Overall Talk: If you want Kbots, this is where you go. The construction 
Kbot can build the best things, and that includes Fusion Reactors, Moho 
Mines, Big Berthas, Annihilators, Flakkers, and Vulcans. The Kbots are 
very powerful. Zeuses and Fidos are definitely some of the Kbots you 
would want on your attacking team. Invaders are for self-destructing, 
and that puts on a very huge explosion. Eraser and Marky deal with some 
Radar things, and Mavericks simply wreck. Zippers are excellent scouts 
with their speed. The Pelican is useful for land-water situations. 
Shooters take a bit longer to make and more resources, but theyve got 
an energy weapon, and thats the most powerful weapon there is. FARKs 
are among the most useful units for construction, because they help 
repair and build extremely fast, although they cant actually start to 
build anything on their own. Infiltrators have a cloaking ability to 
spy (Although they can be seen on radar), and Decoy Commanders are a 
tad useful for building. Decoy Commanders do NOT have a D-Gun, so dont 
get too excited...

Overall Talk: Level 1 vehicles arent the greatest, but they can get 
some minor jobs done quickly. Put them in big groups for the best 
results. However, once you get into the more major stuff, these wont 
be your best things. Jeffys are good mobile scouts. And please dont go 
around thinking that Samsons are the best vehicles on the list. You may 
think that theyre doing the work, but once up close, the Stumpys and 
Flashes are what are doing most of it. The Podger can lay those sneaky 
cloaked mines, which can come in handy a lot. Use the Construction 
Vehicle to make your better things.

Overall Talk: These are pretty handy vehicles. An Advanced Construction 
Vehicle is pretty much the same as the Advanced Construction Kbot. It 
can build the best structures that come in handy a lot. Tritons, 
Bulldogs, and Lugers are great for your land attack team. Spiders come 
in handy a lot with their paralyzer weapon. That could save you a lot. 
Merls are good for some rockets. Penetrators are Annihilators on 
wheels. Literally. That energy weapon of theirs comes in handy a lot. 
And Panthers are good for taking out some aircraft, as well as the 
lightning weapon that is only on the side of the Arm. (With Panther and 
Zeus)

Overall Talk: Only 5 units including the Construction Aircraft, but 
they come in handy. The Construction Aircraft builds the same things as 
the Construction Vehicle or Kbot. However, they build slowly, so stick 
with the vehicle or Kbot unless you need that Advanced Aircraft Plant. 
Peepers hold no weapons, but they are nice and quick for scouting an 
area. They are excellent for patrolling your base. Freedom Fighters are 
good for air-against-air combat, and Thunders are great bombers for 
some more minor bases. Atlases can transport your units by air, which 
can sometime make life a LOT easier.

Overall Talk: Air attack... you need reinforcements. Who do you call 
for? These guys, of course! The Advanced Construction Aircraft builds 
the best things again, but due to the slower nanolathing of it, I 
recommend you stick with your Advanced Construction Vehicle or Kbot. 
Anyway, Brawlers are the best! If you want an air attack to wreck havoc 
on a base, then crank out tons of Brawlers. These rapid-fire gunships 
can take on almost anything! Make sure you got plenty of them on your 
attack team. Phoenixes are strategic bombers also equipped with an 
extremely light laser. Hawks are excellent air fighters. Theyre top-
notch for destroying other aircraft. Lancets are most useful for taking 
out underwater structures like Torpedo Launchers. (Make sure you never 
use Lancets for a land attack) And lastly, you can carry and Eagle with 
your planes to be ready for an enemy encounter.

Overall Talk: I dont view these ships as units for an attack. I find 
these not very useful at all. The Construction Ship can build some 
pretty good things for the water, but nothing besides the Advanced 
Shipyard is worth pointing out. Skeeters are your main scout units for 
water. Crusaders are the only good things youve got for attacks in 
this group. Lurkers have some pretty good torpedoes that can come in 
handy, but the Piranhas are better. Hulks can transport things, and 
have no weapons. But you can load a bunch of crawling bombs into the 
Hulk and make it self-destruct for some *great* damage.

Overall Talk: There are some great things here. First off, the Advanced 
Construction Sub can build some water things that only it can build. 
Piranhas, Rangers, Conquerors, and especially Milleniums are what you 
want for your water-based attack team. A Colossus can produce great 
amounts of energy, so you can build a bunch of them and have plenty of 
energy, PLUS two air repair pads for each one! Thats a good deal. 
Archers are excellent units for taking out aircraft; they are by far 
the best water units for the job. And lastly, you can use Escorts and 
Fibbers as a combo to jam up both radar AND sonar. These two units 
together form an excellent team.

Overall Talk: These hovercrafts are low in number, but somewhat useful. 
The Construction Hovercraft can build a ton of basic structures. The 
Skimmer is a good scout since he get go through land and water. 
Anacondas and Wombats are pretty good attackers. Swatters can do a 
pretty good job of taking out aircraft. And a Bear is perfect for 
transportation across a land and water. Bears are also nice for loading 
lots of Invaders (Crawling Bombs) into... a great explosion.

Overall Talk: Seaplanes arent really the greatest bunch of units, 
because they are VERY small in number and they arent that useful. In 
case you didnt know, seaplanes are just aircraft that can land in the 
water. Construction Seaplane builds the exact same things as the 
Construction Hovercraft, so there isnt many new things. Tornadoes can 
take out planes pretty well, and Albatross is great for taking out 
things like underwater structures. Seahawks are pretty unique, because 
it detects sonar rather than radar. Yet it flies. So overall, theyre 
not too hot, but they still have their uses.

Overall Talk: Once you make yourself a Podger, you can lay down mines 
for traps. These mines can be quite useful, and they come in a variety 
of damages and ranges. I suggest that you go all out with Nuclear 
Mines. Their power and range far outnumbers all the other mines. 
However, they cost much more than the other mines, and take a lot 
longer to build. So if you dont want to use them, make sure you use a 
large variety of them all for different situations.

A pretty good number of these are essential for starting a base. Once 
you get a nice base going, then you can reclaim them for some nice, big 
Fusion Reactors.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 - WIND GENERATOR

Built By: Commander, Construction Kbot, Construction Vehicle, 
Construction Aircraft, Construction Hovercraft, and Construction 
Seaplane.

Like the Solar Collector, these are also good only for the early stages 
of building a base. However, due to the fact that energy production is 
based on the wind intensity, these are pretty unreliable most of the 
time. I recommend you stick with Solar Collectors on your base starts.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 - TIDAL GENERATOR

Production   : +25

*Cost

*Stats
Max Velocity : N/A

Turn Rate    : N/A

Built By: Commander, Construction Ship, Construction Hovercraft, and 
Construction Seaplane.

With energy production slightly higher than Solar Collectors, these 
generators are good for beginning bases near or in the water. Make sure 
you have plenty of them so you have some surplus energy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 - GEOTHERMAL POWERPLANT

Production   : +250

Built By: Construction Kbot, Construction Vehicle, Construction

Once you get a good start on your base, and you have a thermal vent or 
crack near you, this is definetely what you want to put on that thermal 
vent/crack. With +250 energy production, itll keep your base nice and 
steady. A good unit for energy. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 - FUSION REACTOR

These are the big mammas of energy production. These are what you want 
and NEED for an advanced base. Putting up two should keep your energy 
problems out of sight, but keeping more gives you less to worry about. 
Make sure you get these on your advanced base.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 - CLOAKABLE FUSION REACTOR

Production   : +1000

*Cost

Fusion Reactors now appear with the cloaking option. Though keeping 
your Fusion Reactor hidden will prove very helpful, keep in mind that 
cloaking takes energy, and will subtract from your total producing 
amount, leaving this reactor producing about +500 rather than its 
original +1000.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 - UNDERWATER FUSION PLANT

Fusion Plants hidden underneath the water! They produce 150 more energy 
than the normal fusion reactors, plus they are hidden from enemies 
sight. The downside is that they do cost more expensive than the normal 
reactors, and can only be built by one unit, which is only available 
through the Core Contingency expansion pack. But if you do have them, 
make sure you use them!!!

These are your basic metal production unit. Normally, these units will 
only be functioning correctly if they are placed on metal patches, but 
they work anywhere on Core Prime. Make sure you build a large amount of 
these.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 - UNDERWATER METAL EXTRACTOR

Theyre same as the normal metal extractor but underwater. Nothing too 
special. And yes, they DO have to be on metal patches underground, 
meaning theyre kinda useless on the old maps. (Except Core Prime ones)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 - MOHO MINE

This is what you want for metal. Take those dinky metal extractors off 
of your metal patches for some REAL metal extractors... Moho sized. 
Make sure you build a bunch of them to have enough surpluses of metal.

I find these things pretty annoying and not too useful most of the 
time. They are most useful in maps that have little metal, like the 
beach levels at Thalassean.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 - FLOATING METAL MAKER

Almost the exact same thing as the original metal maker, but its built 
on water and floats. It has the same production rate, and its a little 
bit more expensive. Thats all.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 - MOHO METAL MAKER

Again, these units arent too useful. +16.0 is a very good amount of 
metal per tick, but I dont think its worth giving up 800 units of 
energy. Besides, Im not low on metal too often anyway.

Its okay. Your energy capacity increases as you build construction 
units anyway, so I dont find myself using these too often. I dont 
think you should need to use them too often, either.

When units fire at will, theyll only fire if the enemy comes into that 
units line of site. But, instead of waiting for them to come into line 
of view, you can click your attack unit, then click enemy radar. This 
will allow you to attack them before they come closer. But, its a pain 
doing that manually, so thats why the Targeting Facility was made. It 
automatically has units attack radar. But draining 1250 energy just for

takes tremendous amounts of energy to fire, and its cost is higher than

Overall Talk: There isnt that much, but theyre still good for 
beginnings. AKs and Thuds are the basis attacks bots, which are useful 
for starting campaign attacks or other early stages. Storms are nice 
for shooting longer distances for basic Kbots, and Crashers are 
excellent in defender against aircraft for early, developing bases.

Overall Talk: There are a lot of Kbots here, and lots of them are 
useful. Pyros hold a flame-thrower weapon exclusive to the Core. The 
Can moves slow, but its laser is powerful, plus it has great armor. 
Freakers have light lasers and move fast, thus making useful scouts. 
Dominators are great rocket launchers. Morty and Voyeur can work 
together to jam your opponents radar while making yours better at the 
same time. Sumos are much like Cans, but more advanced. However, Sumos 
move even slower, but their armor and weapons are better. Gimps are 
good for a land-sea assault. Parasites hold the useful cloaking 
ability, as do Decoy Commanders. Resurrection Kbots are awesome! They 
can restore a corpse to life! Just find some destroyed unit whos now a 
hunk of metal, and restore it to full health afterwards! It works with 
enemy units as well!

Overall Talk: Some okay vehicles here. Weasels are swift and make good 
scouts. Instigators and Raiders are extremely useful in early campaign 
missions. While Slashers can shoot far, the missiles dont do much 
damage, with the exception of shooting aircraft. Spoilers are used to 
lay those sneaky mines. Levelers have a nice, strong cannon good for 
damaging Arm Peewees and such.

Overall Talk: A nice little bunch of COREs best vehicles. Crocks are 
fairly useful because they can ride right into water, and they also 
deploy a fairly strong cannon. Deleters and Informers work together to 
block enemy radar and get some better radar for your own side. Reapers 
and Goliaths are much stronger versions of the Raider. They both have 
powerful heavy cannons, great for destroying enemy Kbots and vehicles. 
Mobile Artillery and Diplomats can also be useful additions to attack 
squads.

Overall Talk: A small and not particularly useful group of simple 
aircraft. Finks make good scouts, Valkyries are pretty useful for 
transport. Avengers arent very good fighters, but theyre still pretty 
good for knocking off pesky scouts or even bombers. Shadow is good at 
bombing the heck out of light bases with little or no air defense.

Overall Talk: These are some good planes. Rapiers are gunships like Arm 
Brawlers, but they are not the same. Rapiers dont fire that rapidly, 
but they still manage to be pretty useful. Hurricanes and Titans can 
work together to bomb both land and water bases. Vamps are the best 
things for shooting down other planes. Vultures use radar, and flying 
can prove to be much safer sometimes.

Overall Talk: These group of ships arent that useful, so you should 
maybe just build a couple and then get going with Advanced Ships. 
Skeeters are your basic scout unit, and like all scouts, they move very 
quickly and are armed with a light laser. Enforcers are the only units 
in this group that are actually meant for attacking and destroying. 
Theyre obviously much better than anything else in the pack is, but 
its nothing compared to Advanced Ships. Envoys can transport a few 
units, and good for self-destructing with some Roaches inside of it. :) 
Snakes are your basic torpedo submarines, which is also pretty useful 
since its underwater and harder to hit. However, Snakes seem to be 
annihilated quite easily against enemy Torpedo Launchers.

Overall Talk: Now THESE are some good ships. First off, you have Hives. 
Hives produce a nice hefty amount of energy, somewhere around the 350 
mark I believe. They also act as TWO air repair pads, you they 
basically rock! Then you have Missile Frigates, Executioners, Sharks, 
Leviathans, and the almighty Warlords. Now THIS is what you want to 
attack with. Together, they make an amazing fleet with a huge array of 
weapons. Shredders also prove to be extremely useful in shooting down 
aircraft, since they have a super fast flak gun armed. And Phantoms 
kinda suck, because all radar jammers kinda suck.

Overall Talk: Hovercraft comes in only one group, and this is it. They 
are not very powerful, but tend to come in handy with their ability to 
glide over both land and water. The Construction Hovercraft can build a 
LOT of things. If you are looking to build any kind of basic structure, 
The Construction Hovercraft is what you need. Scrubbers are about as 
good as any other scout. (Which is not saying much) Slingers are great 
basic units for shooting down some aircraft that flies overhead, until 
you can get some advanced structures such as Cobras. Nixers are pretty 
good, but they hold the same flaw that every other rocket launcher 
(besides Krogoth) has: They launch the rockets too slow. But they are 
still pretty good nevertheless. Turtles are pretty good because you can 
load lots of Roaches (crawling bombs) into it and self-destruct it to 
make a big boom.

Overall Talk: Seaplanes arent the best types of units, mainly due to 
the fact that that theyre numbers are so small. If there were more 
types of Seaplanes, with more effective uses, they could have proved to 
be very useful. However, they can still be used effectively in a few 
ways. For one, the Construction Seaplane can build a great variety of 
basic and intermediate structures and unit production plants, on both 
land and water. Also, the Seaplane Platform can produce some basic 
normal aircraft. Hunters have the unique ability to detect units with 
sonar in the air, which can be very useful at times for scouting 
uncharted water areas from the air. Voodoos and Typhoons are simply 
normal fighters and torpedo bombers, just with the ability to land in 
water. Overall, the seaplanes are not extremely effective, but may 
still be of help at times.

Overall Talk: Once you make yourself a Spoiler, you can lay down mines 
for traps. These mines can be quite useful, and they come in a variety 
of damages and ranges. I suggest that you go all out with M-610s. Their 
power and range far outnumbers all the other mines. However, they cost 
much more than the other mines, and take a lot longer to build. So if 
you dont want to use them, make sure you use a large variety of them 
all for different situations.

A basic unit for energy production, these are probably the first things 
youre going to want to put up in your base. Once you get a large 
amount of energy generated, then you can replace these with bigger, 
more efficient units.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Construction Aircraft, Construction Hovercraft, and Construction 
Seaplane.

Another basic energy producing unit, but this one isnt very reliable. 
Based on the power of the wind on the map youre on, the energy 
production can be anywhere from +1 to +50, and it is constantly 
changing as well. Unless youre sure the wind is constantly strong, 
its better to stick with Solar Collectors as your main energy 
producing basic unit.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 - TIDAL GENERATOR

A very good alternative to Solar Collectors, Tidal Generators are nice 
basic units that produce +25 energy, (Solar Collectors produce +20) and 
are good to build when starting a base close to water.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 - GEOTHERMAL POWERPLANT

Now THIS is something to give your beginning base a nice big jolt. Once 
youve got this up, you can use its +250 production rate to really 
start getting some big things up. Unfortunately, these can only be laid 
down on thermal vents/cracks, but if you find one, make sure you smack 
down a Geothermal Powerplant on it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 - FUSION POWER PLANT

Once youve got some fairly good stuff running, heres what you need. 
Throw one of these up for 1050+ production, and then throw up a few 
more to rid yourself of all energy problems. :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 - CLOAKABLE FUSION REACTOR

*Stats
Max Velocity : N/A
Acceleration : N/A
Turn Rate    : N/A

Built By: It is nearly identical to the Fusion Power Plant, only 
different because it can be cloaked. Cloaking such a source of energy 
can be extremely helpful, but cloaking takes energy; about 500 in this 
case. So if you decide to put this put and cloak it, your production of 
energy will really only be about +500.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 - UNDERWATER FUSION PLANT

Built By: Adv. Construction Sub

Now HERE is the best unit for energy production. It is hidden 
underwater for great protection from most attacks (excluding those 
pesky torpedoes >_<), and it also produces 150 more energy. While they 
may not seem a lot when you look at the big picture, just remember that 
Solar Collectors produce +20. Put these up when you get an Adv. 
Construction Sub.

The basic unit of metal production, these things produce small amounts 
of metal. They should ONLY be placed on METAL PATCHES, otherwise they 
wont produce anything. If youre on a Core Prime map, however, you can 
lay them down anywhere for maximum results. (+2.3)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As the name implies, these are Metal Extractors that can be placed 
underwater. They only come with the Core Contingency expansion pack 
along with new maps, and maps that do NOT come with the CC pack dont

on old maps, unless it is a Core Prime map. Also, theyre surprisingly 
expensive in their costs compared to the original Metal Extractors.

reclaim your Metal Extractors off of the metal patch, and make one of

These are stupid little units that drain a lot of your energy to make 
very small amounts of metal. 60 energy, in my opinion, if a lot to pay 
just for a lousy +1.0 of metal. The only times these Metal Makers are 
useful are in beach maps, such as the Thalassean levels, where the 
metal patches are scarce. Refrain from using these unless it is 
absolutely necessary.

Energy Storage now submerged in water, really. Unlike most 
underwater/floating versions of units, the cost of an Underwater Energy 
Storage unit is not that much higher than the original land-based one, 
so consider making this underwater one if you ever plan on making an 
Energy Storage, because youll get added protection in the water.

Now, if you have an old version of Total Annihilation (1.0, 1.1, etc.) 
and no Core Contingency expansion pack, youre only units here are the 
Adv. Construction Kbot, Pyro, The Can, Roach, and Spectre. Those units 
are not too great, but better than the basic Kbots, no? Anyway, make 
sure you upgrade your game to the newest version, and try getting the 
CC expansion, and you will get a GREAT variety of different types of 
units with some very unique and helpful abilities. Many of them are 
very strong with firepower, so use some of these if you are planning on 
a large land-based attack.

These are all small and very basic vehicles that are not much help 
unless youre going up against an army of tiny vehicles much like 
these. If youre planning on using some mine strategy, then youll need 
to build a Spoiler to lay down the mines. Like all unit production

youll need to build these for a Construction Vehicle anyway.

A nice plant that can crank out some useful heavy tanks. These vehicles 
are all about brute power, for the most part. If youre looking for

These planes arent the most useful bunch of units youll ever make, 
but they could be used very effectively if used the correct way. Finks, 
for instance, are weaponless, but fly very faster, so use that to your 
advantage to fly through uncharted areas and map it out while avoiding 
most enemy fire. Avengers are excellent for shooting down other planes, 
Shadows are great for bombing bases with weak air resistance, and 
Valkyries can transport a unit almost anywhere. Just dont try building 
a lot of these for an air strike, because youll use the advanced 
planes for that job...

First things first: The Avenger and Titan are NOT seaplanes, which are 
simply planes that have the ability to land in water. Voodoo is a 
seaplane version of the Avenger, and Typhoon is a seaplane version of 
Titan, making them pretty useless since theres no real reason to hide 
in water. Whether or not you should build a Seaplane Platform is up to 
you.
