Welcome to a new Team Guide for Tournament Island! Today, we gonna have a look at the USA & China combination played on this tropical map.
Enjoy!
Brief map description:The map
Tournament Island is basically characterized by four islands which are connected to each other by
small and narrow passages which serve as some kind of bridges.
A thrid passage allows units to enter the middle which is owning
an oil derrick. Each island has got
two oil derricks,
one supply dock and
three additional supply depots.
Moreover, anything else is surrounded by the ocean and can only be passed by air units.
USA & China Combination
China's Build Order: Go for fast Barracks and take oils. Immeditaly, send the second Dozer to USA's side and build a War Factory.
With your main Dozer, after you have built the Supply Center, get another War Factory in your own base. You should have enough money by that moment to produce a Gattling Tank as soon as your War Factory is completed. Grabbing oils will give you enough cash to keep spamming units from the dual War Factories. If you got enough money go for a Propaganda Central, MiGs or another Supply Center.
USA's Build Order: Go for fast Barracks and capture oils as soon as possible. In the meantime, Send a Dozer to China's side and build a Barracks.
Try to take the middle oil derrick as well, most of the people use to forget it and as USA you'll need more cash to go on with your units\build order. Use your Paladin Tanks to kill Supply Trucks or Workers. To double someone is always a good strategy. You should be able to kill two Supply Trucks with three good shots of Force Fire on the ground. When you have enough money construct a Strategic Center in your main base and get another Barracks on China's side.
Perfection in detail
Fill the little straw huts in the middle with Missile Defenders. This will slow down enemy Gattling Tank rush. A Nuke Cannon is the most powerful unit on this map since the enemies can attack only through two narrow passages. In the late game, I suggest you to drop since the map is just perfect for it.
The follwing screenshot shows how an attack could be mixed.
