T3 strategic missile defense systems covering the base are of course vital to this strategy, and long range attacks (such as strategic missiles themselves and T3 heavy artillery installations) are often a favourite of the turtle. While this tactic tends to minimise losses, it also tends to minimise resource income as you restrict yourself access to some of the more dangerous mass points.Īt this stage, most turtles will have amassed a large air force (often of T3 Air Superiority Fighters), constructed multiple defensive lines across choke points (often incorporating shields, point defences, air defence and tactical missile defence). Often using artillery to counter mid-range threats, the general tactic in the mid game is usually to advance slowly expanding only where it is safe. One thing that tends to set a turtle apart from a "normal" player is their lack of want to take an area of the map that they could not easily defend - often leading for them to push for T3 mass extractors earlier than otherwise would be necessary, securing a resource income in their "safe" main base location, as well as other safe locations, often located around/behind their base. Most players who are turtling will continue to "tech up", upgrading resources as they go with additional power generators and higher level mass extractors. Obviously, not an optimal strategy for the early game, it can occasionally be beneficial against a slightly less aggressive opponent in the early game, as they will give you enough time to shore up your defences to actually repel an attack. When turtling then, a typical player would often build fewer factories, investing the resources instead in things such as point defences or anti-air turrets. Most game starts are fairly similar to one another (with some mix of early power generators/mass extractors and factories.) What sets a turtle apart is typically their early focus on resources, building of defences (whether mobile or otherwise) and general lack of early attack.
