Redoubt Zero
Four lobby players | Hostile occupied centre | Bounded garrison challenge
The valley was occupied before your armies arrived. A fortified depot holds the central hill, with guards on the apron and weapons facing four approaches. Your first docks lie behind the ridges; the extra supplies, oil and forward services lie beyond them. The usual lobby opponents are only part of the problem.
The fort has open gates, separated outer bastions and clear deployment ground around its command and armory. Outside the walls, western worker courts lead to a creek workshop and dairy yard. The east has a populated siding and transfer depot. A northern checkpoint, orchard service yard, southern trade street and ordnance courts give each approach a different staging problem.
The independent garrison is hostile to every occupied lobby slot. It starts with eight military buildings and twelve vehicles. Six guards leave on a hunt after 110 seconds. Up to four six-unit waves follow at 150, 270, 390 and 510 seconds. Destroy its command centre OR armory to cancel the remaining waves. The armory is the stock Chinese barracks on the southern half of the inner apron. Defenders already on the field keep fighting.
There is no endless production: at most 24 reinforcement units are introduced. You can ally with the other lobby players for a shared assault, split into rival teams or fight a free-for-all around the occupied centre. An early strike on a production target reduces pressure; an unsupported expansion near the fort can invite a patrol into your collectors. Ordinary lobby armies use their existing AI and calculate their own unit paths.
