EMPIRE EARTH TIPS & TRICKS
Nuke Silo tip
When you want to take your enemy out with minimal damage and expenses you need to build nuke silos if possible. You usually get nuke silos if you add it to the allowed technologies list when you do a custom scenario. Keep attacking your enemy with nuke silos until they can't build any more. The most effective way of striking is to launch a round of nukes, then quickly go back to your silos and then choose the next 6, then choose the third row and launch them, then go back to the first row. This will have given your silos enough time to regenerate. They can usual regenerate in 5-8 seconds but timing is important.
Archers
Before the Renaissance, these units should be your staple ranged combat support units. You should protect them with melee units like Spear Infantry. Archers are deadly against unarmored or slow targets. They are weak against heavily armored units and Shock Infantry (use piercing Javelin Units instead). They are strong against Spear Infantry.
Field Cannon
They can replace archers as combat support units. Shots perform decent damage against buildings and their area of effect makes them powerful against massed infantry. You should place them behind ranged infantry. They are weak against Sword Cavalry.
Stealth Units (Sharpshooter and Sniper)
Good for combat support. They are invisible unless an enemy unit gets too close. Their shots, while very slow, are highly damaging and almost always one-shot-one-kill against infantry. They are inherently weak against the anti-infantry.
Armor Piercing Tanks
Can be used against infantry or buildings, but fighting other tanks and heavily armored vehicles is their specialty. Weaknesses include Anti-Tank and Minotaur Cyber units.
Priests
Although they are not good military units, but they have the ability to convert enemies over to your side. The conversion process takes time and cannot be used near a University. Remember to recharge their capabilities.
Strategist Hero Vs Warrior Hero
Warriors are unlike strategist Heroes and made to lead from the thick of the battle, not the back lines. They are strong fighters and provide morale to friendly troops near them. Strategist Heroes command and don't fight and they have the ability to heal, while their battle cry demoralizes the enemy. Figure out which works better in that particular situation (can only pick on per battle) and you will be on your way to an easier victory.
