1.10: Production Barriers | [Back to the WarGuide]
When building up your resource production facilities, consider using them as a defense too. Solar Collectors prove the best for this tactic. Set up a line of collectors, and behind that line, construct a wall of defenses. Laser towers usually work the best in this situation. The Solar Collectors act as a wall, and keep your laser towers alive longer. This creates a win/win situation, in that your walls are providing energy, and also providing protection, while your laser towers are protecting your Solar Collectors. Granted, you will probably lose a few collectors, but they are easily replaceable. This tactic works very well during the beginning of the game, when resource generator defense is critical.
