Overview

The War Factory produces ground vehicles: Recon Buggies, Wolf Light Tanks and Flak Tracks at Tier 1. It is the first production building in almost every opening.

How to use

Build it right after your first extractors and power, set a rally point toward the enemy, and keep it producing: an idle factory is wasted metal. Two factories double your army's growth if the economy can feed them. Upgrade to the Advanced War Factory as soon as you can afford it; Battle Tanks and tank destroyers change what fights you can take.

Counters

Bombers, artillery and MLRS. Losing it mid-fight cuts off reinforcements, so it belongs inside the turret ring.
