== Background ==
 
 
The Attack Bike is a classic Nod weapon design; it's extremely fast but lightly armored. Nod offensive doctrine emphasizes using Attack Bikes for hit-and-run raids against enemy vehicles and aircraft, while avoiding direct confrontation with enemy heavy armor whenever possible.

Cheap, fast and universal, Attack bikes will find use in many decks. A single bike [[Battle mechanics (Rivals)#Squad|squad]] will deal with [[War dogs]] and [[Talon (Rivals)|Talons]], but their true strength is in numbers. A pair of Attack bikes will deal with most but heaviest vehicles, and their cheap price and fast movement speed means that even if one squad falls, it can be replaced with a new one very quickly.
 
 
Although Bikes have normal vision, their fast movement and general usefulness makes them a good scouting unit. If they run into an unprotected harvester, they can start to put pressure on it right away. If the opponent opens the game with two harvesters, a pair of bikes can make a short work of them.
 
 
Bikes deal a lot of damage up-front, followed by a long cooldown period. This allows Bikes to employ hit-and-run tactics.
 
 
In the early game bikes are weak to [[Pitbull (Rivals)|Pitbulls]] an [[Laser drone|Laser drones]]. Even when they are able to take them down, will struggle to do it cost efficiently. Bikes are not effective against heavy vehicles, but their squad mechanic makes them very difficult to remove for slow hitting units, like [[Predator tank (Rivals)|Predator tanks]].
 
 
The launched rockets travel slowly compared to other projectiles and faster moving units can avoid them for a while, but the rockets will follow the target indefinitely.

Nationalism will bring us victory!
- Red Guards freshly infused with national fervor

Nationalism is an upgrade for the Chinese military. PLA commanders may invest in nationalistic indoctrination for $2000 at the Propaganda Center. Once upgraded, units that receive the Horde Bonus will get a 25% rate of fire boost that is active even when horde bonus is not active.

When Nationalism is researched, affected units gain a golden ring around the red star visible under regular Horded units.

Trivia

  • The icon used is actually the flag of the Communist Youth League, China's equivalent to the Soviet Komsomol.
