4. Fortress (8) – Custom
- Type: Man-made walls, narrow corridors, garrisons everywhere
- Review: Absolute chaos. Each player starts inside a walled fortress. To reach enemies, you must destroy multiple gates. Demolition traps and tunnel networks shine here. However – turns into a 2-hour slugfest often decided by who runs out of credits first. Rating: 6/10 (Niche appeal)
Oasis Ring
- Layout: Skyscrapers create natural corridors. Garrisons are everywhere.
- Meta: Infantry reigns supreme. USA Rangers, GLA Rebels, and Chinese Minigunners become essential. Toxin General is the king here, as his bulletproof toxins clear garrisons instantly.
- Tip: Do not build airfields. The tall buildings make air navigation a nightmare for helicopters.
- China (Tank & Infantry): Extremely strong due to the "Horde Bonus" and ability to create impenetrable defensive lines. The Nuclear General and Tank General excel in the chokepoints common on 8-player maps.
- USA (Superweapon & Laser): Strong late-game due to Particle Cannons and Aurora bombers. However, they struggle early on 8-player maps if they spawn in a vulnerable position, as they cannot defend multiple flanks easily.
- GLA (Toxin & Stealth): Highly effective in "Money Maps" due to the ability to rebuild quickly and the economic independence of Black Markets. Stealth ambushes are devastating in the chaos of 8-player battles.
