Again I'm stuck in the ED's struggle for survival. This time in Madagascar. I manage to dig the tunnels to the LC base, but keeping the ground level in safety is making me crazy. Sooner or later I'm found by the all-seeing AI and they destroy my small
base situated at some hidden corner of the island. The tunnels are defended by LC and UCS, but there is more-LC attacks on ground with heavy air units. They also have this crazy sonic airships, which are devastating against buildings. They destroy defenses and all other buildings in seconds. This is just unbelievable-5 or 6 of this Thunderer units level entire base in seconds. And just in time comes the UCS as well with their usual swarm of air units. In this situation, the evacuation of my troops in tunnels is not possible. This mission is very important, because you gain the shield technology here, but it is hard to escape afterwards and mission fails.
I decided to build a tunnel entrance from below to the surface in random locations of the map. As soon as it is completed it blows up because they find it quickly. I don't know how they keep seeing the whole map, maybe with constant patrols.
My latest idea is to make a last stand with all my tanks on the ground near a single tunnel entrance while exploring the
tunnels. Some people suggest attacking the base which seems a suicide-at this point of the game LC bases are so well
defended that you don't get a chance. I just got new heavy tank designs and canons in research center, but I doubt they will help me against the LC. Their shields beat everything so far and their sonic weapons level buildings very quickly.
