Stormrise

Hammer Time

This solution is to beat this on Hard, you will get the achievement if you want to in the end.

This mission is fairly simple if you know what you are doing, immediately take the first Node in front of you with your Hero's. Then save up a bit and buy an army, Rage's and Matriarchs are good, make sure to use Acid Rain with the Matriarchs.
To get some extra achievements really fast or need to know how to use acid rain, read my other solutions:




After the Army is ready make sure to group them with LB. Then take them and attack the base to your right. If you just click on the green Icon with all groups they will attack anything in their path. Once the base is taken, make sure to fully upgrade it, you do not need to upgrade to Warp, waste of money.

Then send the army and a ton of infantry to the next attack point to the left of your main base. Send your hero's to help also, this base will fall easily to your rampage.

After that base is taken just fully upgrade it, this time build a Warp as it will help. Take your army and go up the hill and take that Node.

Once that node is taken, here comes the hard part, Build the best units you can and Max out infantry and your population limit. Use your army to go into the base which is loaded with Offense and heavy Stalkers. Do not send your Hero's as they will die!

This suck's because once you get the base you will lose it afterward. Just rebuild another army and attack again and you should reclaim it. Once the base is taken you are at the final step, if you want the Hammer time achievement just attack the last tanks or "Arc Hammers" near the Node to the right of where you are supposed to go, achievement will unlock after destroying the 2 over there.

All you have to do is send 1 last army to the final Green icon and when you capture the node you will finish the mission.

This mission isn't too bad, but stick to my strategy and there won't be any problems, just remember to save it during the right moments. GL, Have fun!

This achievement is missable.

On mission 5, you start south with your commander. First, go north to capture the first node, and build refineries. Protect this node with a few troops. Then, proceed to the east and capture the node there. There are quite a few enemies on the port, so bring your commander and some strong troops.

Then, go west and take the 3rd node. You'll then have to walk north to the fortified door and capture your 4th node. Once inside, you'll have to take down mechs and a 5th node. Bring a lot of troops there, because the mechs cause serious damage. The buggies work well, although they are weak so you'll loose some.

OK, at that point, you'll be able to get the achievement. Simply walk to the ramp going up and you'll see the Arc-Hammers to the right. Don't go up the ramp but instead go defeat the 2 Arc-hammers with your troops.
