Tactics

Select Eagle Eye as your commander and follow these steps to devastate your opponent's base.

  1. Construct you fort following the build order specified
  2. Build Eagle Eye's charge meter by attacking the enemy and taking damage in return.
  3. Once the meter is fully charged, activate Explosive Bullets.
  4. Fire repeated broadsides from your three Machine Guns, stripping the enemy fort of surface armour.
  5. Finally, fire the Cannon at the exposed, weakened area of the enemy fort, causing critical, if not fatal damage.

IMPORTANT
- Ensure that all Machine Guns and especially the Cannon are fully reloaded and that you have enough resources to fire them, before activating Explosive Bullets.
Build Order


This build order is an effiecient way of getting this Eagle Eye strat online as soon as possible.

  1. Mine - Ensure you have a bare minimum of three mines, preferably four.
  2. Workshop - Get the tech tree development under way early
  3. 3xMachine Guns - Build these on the front of your fort to create a 'broadside'.
  4. Turbine - Build up far enough to build one 100% turbine. Be sure to make at least one floor in your fort big enough to house a Cannon.
  5. 2xBattery, 1xMetal Store - Increase your storage capacity in preparation for building the Factory and beyond.
  6. Factory - Grants accss to Cannons and Lasers.
  7. Cannon - The big gun to finish the job.
  8. 2xTurbine - Helps feed the energy hungry cannon.
Tips
The following points are a list of optional extras you can experiment with to refine your build order to suit your play style.

  • Machine Gun nest - Depending on how you think your opponent will play, it might make sense to have a MG nest on the front of your fort for Air-defence. This will take resources away from your critical build path, however.
  • Mortar - Sacrificing overall build time in order to construct a mortar allows you to harass the enemy, and fake them out into thinking you are going Workshop/Upgrade Centre/Missile strat.
  • Armour - The extra protection Armour affords comes at a high cost. Use this at your discretion, as it will drastically slow your overall build time if you armour your fort entirely.
  • Doors - Doors built one section back from the exterior of your fort are hidden to the enemy. Keep this in mind if you want to keep your opponent in the dark as to what strat you are following.
Counters
Employing these measures will hamper this Eagle Eye strategy.

  • Armour Piercing Snipers can be used to harass and eliminate Machine Guns.
  • Unarmoured forts emplying the 'Cannon Rush' tactic are vulnerable to early attacks from mortars and missiles.
  • Destroying Turbines will hamper the reliable firing of the Cannon.
  • If the Machine Gun nest has been overlooked, the fort is susceptable to arial bombardment.
