Strategy center

The Strategy Center was an important building on the battlefield for US generals. It was essential for the acquisition and control of the most powerful and sophisticated weapons in the United States arsenal, including the Aurora Bomber and the Particle Cannon. In addition, the Strategy Center was essential for a general to obtain certain upgrades for his forces. Its dish array, uplinked to a network of satellites, allowed Strategy Center personnel to periodically reveal all enemy positions. Furthermore, the Strategy Center could deploy a single 'battle plan' that enhanced certain aspects of all units under the owner general's command. These plans were as follows:


 * Bombardment - Increased firepower of units. In addition, an artillery piece was deployed from within the Strategy Center, allowing it to boost base defense.
 * Search and Destroy - Increased sight range of units. A radar array was deployed from the Strategy Center, able to detect stealthed units in a large radius.
 * Hold the Line - Increased armour of all units. The Strategy Center received extra fortifications including sandbags.

Whenever one of these battle plans was chosen, the location of the Strategy Center would be revealed to opposing generals.

Upgrades developed at the Strategy Center:


 * Advanced Training - Units gain veterancy at twice normal rate.
 * Composite Armor - Improved tank armour.
 * Drone Armor - Improved drone armour.
 * Supply Lines - Improved collection rate for all supply gatherers and captured oil derricks.
 * Chemical Suits - Improved protection for infantry against toxin attacks.
 * MOAB - Allows a general to deploy the Massive Ordnance Air Burst, or Mother Of All Bombs. (For more information, see Fuel Air Bomb.)
