Sami sets sail to capture cities before Drake’s troops can flood in.
Mission Strategy
For all of the Green Earth maps, you will be able to choose between all three of the Orange Star COs. Each CO has an entirely different map. Unlike the original game, you do not need to do certain missions as certain COs to unlock Drake and Eagle. Both Green Earth COs are unlocked by beating the missions with any CO.
This is the first battle against Drake, the navy specialist. Not only are his sea units strong, they also have +1 movement range and +2 stars of defense. His CO Power does 1 damage to all enemies (but cannot kill) and removes half of their current fuel. All of his units also gain +10% defense during his CO Power.
This mission has an additional victory condition. You can capture 15 properties to win. Sami does not start with a Base or Port, so you’ll need to land your Infantry or Mechs soon onto the north part of the center island to start creating units.
The weather can change randomly in this map. Rain will reduce Fog of War visibility while also increasing movement cost for Tread and Tire units in Woods and Plains. Snow, as seen by Olaf’s CO Power, will increase movement cost in most terrain (not roads and properties) for all units.
- Power Goal: 3
Capture 15 Properties: This is the intended way to win this mission. You will need hold onto your initial properties while capturing the entire north part of the island. After you own the north, you will need to take one single property away from Drake, most likely on the south side of the island.
Even though your Mechs can cross the Mountains, Drake will have a large force on the south side. It’s best to push the middle Woods with a Medium Tank backed up by indirect-fire units. move your Mechs along the Mountains to help spot for your Rockets and Artillery, as many enemies will end up hidden in the central Woods.
HQ Capture: HQ capture is possible, but requires a lot of AI manipulation and a little bit of luck. The Turn by Turn Walkthrough below uses a southern sea rush to capture the enemy HQ, but any weather will mess up the strategy. you will also need to stop the enemy from capturing 15 properties if you are focused on an HQ capture.
Once you reach Drake’s HQ, remember that his Battleship hidden in the Reef north of the Bridge can attack units on his HQ. If you start the capture at full health, his Battleship’s attack alone will not stop Sami from finishing the capture next turn. You’ll just need to protect your capturing unit from his other forces.
Defeat All Enemies: By the time you would defeat all of Drake’s forces, you could have easily captured 15 properties. Especially as Sami who prioritizes Mechs. Since Mechs can attack and capture properties, there should be no reason to aim for this victory condition. If you do, know that Drake has a Battleship hidden in the Reef north of the Bridge by his HQ.
