Battle Room is a side challenge in the Commander's Challenge.
Overview[]
- All factions cannot build any structures that produce vehicles, vessels or aircraft. Base defenses are also prohibited.
- Refineries are still allowed, and the Empire's Ore Collector can still utilize its weapon.
- The Soviets cannot build the Mortar Cycle, but a Combat Engineer may still construct Bunkers.
- The Allies can still build the Airbase to access the Defense Bureau, but not any aircraft.
- The player starts with 3 Construction Yards of their chosen faction and 3 Tech Hospitals. The AI players all have one each.
Strategy[]
- The AIs in the challenge are presumably of lower difficulties and don't tend to expand their bases much, but the fact three of them are fought simultaneously makes it all the more difficult.
- As the Empire, it is possible to pull away the MCVs, since the only amphibious infantry units that are deployed tend not to damage buildings or vehicles earlier on.
- The Soviets can simply build Battle Bunkers and use Bears to spawncamp Shinzo's Dojo or Vera's Barracks, but doing the same to Giles might not be practical. Rather, exploit the Super Reactor's explosion on destruction and pause its construction as soon as it is placed.
Trivia[]
- The only offensive vehicle available in this challenge is Imperial ore collector, although it is also the only faction without any means to repair them.
