Base Raids and Strategic Capture: Island Points and Assault Tactics

Beyond your personal military compound lies an open island territory dotted with high-value strategic objectives. Capturing and defending these contested sites—including coastal oil refineries, offshore pumping rigs, radar observation towers, and central supply depots—generates vital cash yields that tick continuously into your base treasury.

Each objective possesses a circular capture perimeter. Moving your squads onto an uncontested zone initiates the capture gauge; once fully secured, the installation displays your faction color and routes revenue directly to your compound. Holding multiple installations simultaneously forms the economic backbone required for late-game aerial and naval expansion.

Raiding a neighboring commander's outpost requires methodical coordination rather than reckless solo charges. Player compounds are protected by physical blast doors, perimeter sandbags, and automated anti-infantry sentry turrets that rapidly eliminate exposed foot soldiers.

To initiate an assault, open your COMMAND interface and set waypoint attack orders targeting the enemy's exterior gate. Accompany your squads personally to provide heavy weapon fire support using your personal Rocket Launcher or Anti-Materiel Rifle, targeting defensive turrets to clear an opening for your ground troops.

Effective raids leverage combined-arms tactics where different unit classes cover each other's vulnerabilities. Deploy heavy tanks or armored personnel carriers as the spearhead to draw turret agro and absorb initial explosive damage, allowing follow-up riflemen and rocketeers to advance safely behind heavy armor.

If you have unlocked aerial assets such as the Gunship or Stealth Bomber, coordinate air strikes against clustered defenders inside the courtyard. Suppressing enemy spawn points prevents the defending player from rallying freshly respawned squads while your strike team dismantles the outpost collector.

Conducting aggressive raids inevitably draws retaliation from rival commanders. While your primary strike force is operating downfield, secure your home base by investing in reinforced perimeter walls, automated anti-air missile batteries, and garrisoned squad posts near your main vault.

Always keep a reserve vehicle or fast deployment squad stationed at your primary gate. If an enemy vanguard breaches your exterior barriers, immediately order your home reserve to engage intruders at the perimeter chokepoint before they can reach your central command tent.
