Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin by producing Infantry units. Send one Infantry north to capture the base and airport on the peninsula.
  2. 2
    Dispatch other Infantries west to capture the cities in that region. Consider building a T-Copter to support their movement.
  3. 3
    Once sufficient bases are captured, focus on producing a large number of Battle Copters, as they are Sensei's specialty.
  4. 4
    Deploy a few Tanks to each flank to counter enemy Anti-Air units.
  5. 5
    Position your Anti-Air units strategically, either on the peninsula or in the west, to protect your forces.
  6. 6
    If your advance in the west is slowed down by the three cities, build an Artillery unit to speed up the capture process.
  7. 7
    Warning: Adder will construct a Missile unit and conceal it in a forest near his Headquarters (HQ) around day 10-12.
  8. 8
    Prioritize locating and destroying this Missile as soon as possible. You will need at least two Copters: one for reconnaissance to find the Missile and another to destroy it.
  9. 9
    The reefs on the map are considered safe zones.
  10. 10
    An alternative strategy to capturing the HQ is to block Adder's bases and eliminate all his units.
Tips
  • Battle Copters are Sensei's specialty and highly effective on this map.
  • Tanks are crucial for dealing with enemy Anti-Air units.
  • Artillery can significantly speed up captures in built-up areas like the western city cluster.
  • Be vigilant for Adder's hidden Missile unit between days 10-12.
  • Consider focusing on unit elimination rather than direct HQ capture for a different victory condition.
