Human race
If you are in the human/colonist race, the first thing you need to do is upgrade your Control Hub to level 2. When you do, collect plenty of supplies and make the Gunner Training building. When you finish that, make ten Gunners. After this, make the Probe Station maker thing and make the Scouting Probe that you learned in the first mission. Put your Gunners and the Scouting Probe as Team/Group 1. Put the Scouting Probe in the front of the triangle formation, then follow the roads raising buildings and enemies along the way. Always have an extra probe at the main base, because the probe is weak in defense and will be killed easily. With this combination you will win almost every time. Note: Always maintain a main base defense of five or six Gunners.

Driel race
If you are of the Driel race and are inside a fortress, like in the second or third campaign mission, the first thing you need to do is raise the Mound to status level 3. When you do this, make a Wormery and make three or four Dex Worms. Place each of them at an entrance to the fortress. Then, make every kind of soldier. There are several combinations you can make. Either start by making soldiers or by upgrading the mound. If you upgrade the mound first, research the fencing after you make the Dex Worms and soldiers. When you finish the research, build walls around the supplies so that enemies cannot get in unless they break. Note: While doing all of this, you need to get supplies with your drones.
