The Space Temple strategy tend to be very effective against turtles and against those who have gone heavily into air. A player rushing a Space Temple should not be entirely defenseless, however, as you’ll need a force to go through the portal the Space Temple creates once it is built. It involves building several research facilities early in the game, sacrificing early defenses for a later strike force. Space Temple RushĪ common strategy on larger maps or maps where direct land confrontation isn’t possible or likely early in the game, the Space Temple Rush is simply an attempt to research and build a Space Temple as fast as possible and use it to transport units into an enemy base. Going with fighter/bombers is a much more balance approach, but it can be difficult to harm an enemy who has built a large number of shields. Going gunships will result in a hoard of flying tanks which seem impossible to destroy but will leave you defenseless against enemy aircraft. The only variable to this strategy is which air units you’d like to build, as flares will apply to both gunships and fighter/bombers.
This makes the Illuminate air force shocking difficult to destroy. Flares give Illuminate aircraft a passive defense again enemy anti-air which reduces the chance anti-air fire will hit. Once flares have been obatained they can be used to make the Illuminate air force very powerful. Although located at the end of a research tree, obtaining flares isn’t too difficult because the research leading up to them is very useful.
