- STRATEGY TIPS:
-
- - units in Dark Colony depend on each other for optimum battle performance.
- ie. units like artillery may need troops to provide protection from airborne
- threats, and artillery can increase its range greatly if it you use airborne
- scouts as "spotters".
-
- - Much of the skill in mastering Dark Colony, is the optimal use of a variety
- of unit types in the tactical battles.
-
- -remember Alien forces are more effective fighters at night (vision/targeting
- skill etc.) and Humans are more effective in daytime hours.
-
- -keep an eye out for newly erupting resources. In addition, some plant types
- seem to thrive in the presence of petra-7 gas.
-
- -try to defend important areas with a variety of units
