IMPORTANT TACTICS

 

 

 

In Warzone 2100 the base you build in the Western Sector (called Alpha Base) is used for all of your missions in that sector. The missions might be Transport Missions or Alpha Base Missions. Whatever the mission type, you always return to your base at the start of the next mission.

 

 

Note: All missions have a time limit of 2 hours, unless otherwise specified.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ALPHA BASE MISSIONS

 

 

These missions occur on the same map as your base. Either a new area of the map is revealed or enemy forces land on the map to attack your base. The survival of Alpha Base is vital to your success, so you should defend it from enemy attacks by building gun towers and other defenses. It is also worth expanding the facilities at Alpha Base as more power becomes available. Two factories and multiple research facilities will increase your rate of production and the speed at which you can research Artifacts. Alpha missions feature larger maps, with the "relative" safety of your home base.

 

 

 

 

 

 

TRANSPORT MISSIONS

 

 

 

Transport missions are a key part of Warzone 2100. At the start of a Transport Mission, the Transport arrives to carry combat teams to the mission's Landing Zone. You must load your forces into the transport, which then flies them to the mission site. Transport mission maps are much smaller than Alpha Base missions. However, the danger increases as you are now on the enemy's turf.

 

 

 

Transport Missions: are often timed. You have a limited amount of time to complete the mission and return back to the base or LZ.

 

 

The Transport Menu: Select the transport to open this menu. It displays any units currently loaded in the transport.

 

 

Loading the Transport: To load the transport, select it as the destination of your units, or use the Command Console to order units to enter the transport, by clicking the Go to Transport button.

 

Unloading the Transport: Select a unit in the transport to unload it.

 

 

Transport Capacity: This shows how many vehicles the transport can carry, as well as how many are currently loaded. The maximum capacity of the transport is 10 units, as shown by the counter.

 

 

 

Launch Transport: Select the Launch Button to send the transport to the mission site. The transport will then take-off and fly to the mission site.
