On this mission you must destroy the Command Center at the north of the map.
To do that I need a base and resources so I clear the raiders camp and complete the optional mission, kill the Hutt.
I hate this level, if you miss a single thing the run is over, and if you don't the game will sure find a way to screw you. About 4 hours of constant attempts yield one successful run due to this. This is the latest strategy, it can be improved a bit but overall it's as straightforward as it gets.
You start at level 2 and to build Transports and Pummels you need Tech Level 3. Which means we need a Command Center, but we got no resources.
To complete the first objective, which gives the required resources you must defeat the Raider's camp. That is destroy their three buildings and kill all their units. This means that if you were to kill all the units then destroy the four buildings at the same time, you'd complete the objective. However in this particular mission you have a split second to do this, when you destroy a building three raider's appear, and then you must kill them. So destroying all four at the same time (so no raiders appear before you defeeat the enemy) is extremely hard. I don't pursue it.
I just leave a single building alive last, and don't destroy it so that I don't have to fight the last three raiders. This is a possible huge improvement.
Now I dont send all my units here because I will need them alive, all of them, to complete the optional objective which nets 5000 nova. Enough to complete the mission.
The raiders kill the troop center units quickly so I protect them. The Hutt's units kill anything but specially Jedis, so I don't send Echuu there, the troopers are sacrificed for th required nova.
Later on, when sendong the Transport loaded with Pummels, I usually send a thousand decoys, but on this map there's a hidden unit that is reachable, a Skyhopper, it has extreme antiair defense and is very speedy, so it can do th ejob as decoy. However it is past the Hutt's base and there's enemieson the way so you need something with enough speed/defense and enough line of sight to activate the Skyhopper.
I steal Jabba's transport since it meets all of it and also has a Strike Mech type of damage (without it it's very hard to do, Echuu dies quickly).
So there's many units that are a godsend, and the nova is just enough too, like if the level designer designed the level for speedrunning :D
The nova is enough to buy all the required resources to build whatever is necessary to compelte the mission.
While I am getting to level 3 I get some houses, and clear the future fortress site with Echuu, you have to be vigilant that Echuu doesn't die to the Bounty Hunters that are on the hill, that he doesn't attack buildings (or the whole enemy army will come), that he doesn't go too far to the left (i was close to too far) or you will trigger Boorka's Bounty Hunters, an you have to keep an eye on the usual attacks the Confederacy will send to attack you, you want to intercept them so they don't kill the workers.
The workers get the buildings to build the Pummels and single Transport and then build the Fortress.
Echuu has to stay in front, again, to intercept the enemy. As soon as the Fortress is ready you can attack the enemy Fortress and the whole enemy army will focus on it, in the meantime send the Skyhopper in no attack mode to park in the middle of the antiair defense, while the transport with five pummels travels by.
The enemy Command Center is in a very narrow space, so Pummels always give trouble positioning here, but they take it down fast.
At the raider area, Echuu may be killed, or Naath, or Jabba's transport, or you may forget and not send/delay the Heavy Troopers to attack the buildings.
When killing the Hutt, the units don't pull it off all the time. the transport may be destroyed.
Later you may lose time when trying to get to level 3, depending on the timing of the first and optional objectives, and also forgetting to buy from spaceport.
Finally, Echuu may die or somehow screw the final part, of the workers dying due to an extra enemy attack squad, or forgetting to buy resources, or the transport destroyed, or whatever :D
