TACTICAL HINTS
- Wave Director starts after 3 minutes with approx. 32 units and grows by 4 per wave up to a maximum of 120.
- AI production burst 220%, sacrifice wave chance 30%, HQ risk tolerance 16%.
- Very Easy to Normal are designed for relaxed base-building; from Hard onward, the AI demands early scouting, defense, and disciplined focus fire.
