GAME TIPS:

* Try different early games opennings – infantry rush, trike harrass, eco boom, fast expand, tech etc. They are all equal now.
* Bebore Conyard_Upgrade, Buildings can be snipe more easy with low tech units. Keep it in mind in early game.
* Build walls in front of Turrets. They can fire above them. Most units cant.
* Lot of units have larger FireRange than Reveal Shroud . Use Force Fire to shot where they cant see. Or use trikes to expand visibility.
* U can heard incoming AirStrike/DeadHand now. Try to dodge while u can.
* If Harvester is loaded and is killed, than Spice will spread across the an area.
* Killed Tanks throw shrapnels that can damage nearby units
* Devastator and Saboteur Self_Kill ability can destroy nearby Spice.

Adding footprint type passable only by infantry in to the Building Triat.
As there are no way to use custom tiles in OpenRA most author adds new tiles as building actors. In D2k there special tile types passable only by infantry units. Beside this it can be used for husk to be able
The other mod (RA TD) can also benefic from this, for example creating forest that only infantry can pass, or other rough terrain on maps.
