Sentry

A sleeping giant protects this ancient landscape.

Tips

The lightbridge is the most useful—and the deadliest—feature on this map. It allows land units to take a shortcut directly into the enemy base; however, any unit on the lightbridge when it closes dies instantly.

Need to activate the lightbridge? Send an air unit toward the control console. This allows you to access the console once you have it within your unit’s line of sight.

There’s no warning for when the lightbridge is about to close, so move your units across as fast as possible! If you’re moving a slow, large army, consider stopping on the center area and letting the bridge drop before quickly activating it again.

Placing a few core infantry units in the garrisons on your side of the map is a great way to monitor any potential incoming attack. Garrisons also provide effective defensive positions for guarding an early expansion base or minibase. In the center area at the west end of the map is a Two-Slot Minibase—these are cheaper than full expansion bases and offer you a good place to create units you can use to reinforce an attack on your enemy’s flank.
