Imperium Strategy
Do you have fond memories of that C&C: Red Alert tank rush you used repeatedly to overwhelm your opponents? Well, it doesn't work well in Dark Reign - except here. A Tachion Tank rush is absolutely invincible on this level, provided that you make the following preparations.
Build a few turrets to protect your starting base, especially from the southeast corner base. Start cranking out Tachion Tanks and marshal your forces near the Hover Research Facility immediately, then begin trying to destroy the northern bridge onto the island. Once you have a few Tachion Tanks built in your base, start moving east and destroy the enemies blocking your way to the bridge to the southeast-corner island. Make the destruction of those bridges your primary focus. Once they're gone, the level has effectively been won, because the Freedom Guard won't be able to really threaten you again.
Once the bridges are down, park a few Tachion Tanks west of the destroyed bridge leading to the southeast base. Their superior attack range will allow your Tachion Tanks to destroy the enemy units on the island without being attacked themselves. Build a few turrets to prevent any Freedom Guard units from crossing the nearby land bridge leading north. With the rest of your Tachion Tanks, start heading west and then north, following the curve of the land, destroying anything in your path. Nothing in this level can cope with your Tachion Tanks, but be sure to retreat from Tank Hunters until you pick them off outside of counterattack range. Just keep on moving, reinforcing your units if necessary, until you make your way to the Freedom Guard base in the northeast corner of the map. Destroy it and build a couple of Water Launch Pads to take advantage of the freshwater springs - you'll need a Hover Freighter to get to the freshwater spring in the northeast corner of the map. The remaining Freedom Guard forces will be boxed in the southeast corner of the map. Make a wall of Tachion Tanks near the destroyed bridge and just start moving east, using the "formation move" command to keep your tanks in a line.
