| - Cybran is a faction that relies heavily on stealth and adaptibility. Their units have high accuracy, and are good at hitting. One way to make use of their stealth capabilities is to combine tech 3 sonars with monkeylords and other units. Find a good location away from enemy omni-sensors. Establish several tech 3 sonar platforms in a triangle around a large area. Once established have your commander and support commanders start building several monkeylords within the range of the sonar stealth field. Once built make sure their stealth fields are active. Use naval units or large numbers of ground and air forces to distract enemy forces away from a section of their base defense. Once your first units enter range of the base, use a SEAD to take out enemy air defense so bombers can take out their omni sensors. Once the sensors are down have the monkeylords advance behind a decent sized naval force. The enemy will move to intercept your naval forces. At this point they will probably see the monkeylords. As long as you are close to their base you will be fine. Continue to advance the monkeylords into the base. hopefully they will be unable to counter this attack. If they pull their mobile defenses over to the monkeylords then your ground forces will have a much easier time. This strategy should never be used on its own. Combine it with other attack strategies in order to win. Naval Superiority is a great way to get this to work, as there is less chance of the enemy seeing your monkeylords. Another, more effective and less costly option, is to make your ACU into a battle-hardened Ninja. Fairly easy to do, first upgrading your ACU to have the Microwave Laser and the two stealth systems, then getting the T2 and T3 upgrades. Doing the Tech upgrades later ensures your ACU doesn't drain resources at an alarming rate, allowing you to do this with a small T2 economy. Once your ACU is fully upgraded, it is crucial that you check and destroy any Omni Sensors your opponents have. Now comes the fun parts. If you're up against the computer, then it is probably best to just attack his command unit... But if they are another player, then you might be good scaring them to death. Patrol around his base with your invisible ACU, destroying his outlaying mass extractors and defensive units. This will put them into a panic and frenzy to erect defences for a Monkeylord or some other stealth unit. At this point, you can either march right into his base, destroying everything (And making your ACU a veteran) on your path to the opponent. Or, you can make your ACU hold fire, and walk right in without your enemy knowing. Once next to his ACU, click attack and watch your friend's face erupt in horror as the game just ended and he has absolutely no idea how or why! I would advise staying away from all ACUs and SCUs because they have omini sensors in them. Even if the omini range is very small his defences will kill your ACU very quickly. And rember if your power supply runs out for even a second the enermy can fire two tactical missiles which will instantly kill a non vereran cybran ACU. You can easily destroy a monkeylord in seconds with your commander. Dont ever attack a Galactic Collossos with it because they have omini and they will vaporise your commander before he can vaporise it. A good way to counter this stratergy is to get an omini quickly and if your economy cannot support the 2500 power drain then get upgraded sensor suite on your ACU (not avalable to all factions), it will greatly increase your ACUs omini range and render the cybran ninja ACU strategy almost obslete.
