God damn! Halo Wars is ridiculously extreme! (Caps removed due to popular demand =P)

In Heroic - does the enemy act differently or do they just get more HP and your weapons and army are weaker?

Damn..is there a game where the AI actually gets better? It's always more HP, armor, and damage. Or something among those lines.

UT. They get no more HP, Armor, or Damage than you do. Their tactics, concept of map/power-up control, mobility, and accuracy get better.

For that level you need to pump anti-aircraft out, but your first move should be to secure the two reactors that are already on the level. You can actually bide your time until you build up a decent force and then start with the objectives since you need to place 5 rhinos while still defending them all. The comp will start off throwing banshees out you with the occasional drop of hunter bond-pair and assorted elites, but increase the frequency of his attacks as you get more rhinos placed.

I built 4 turrets around my base and upped them to take out anti-air units, then built a decent sized force of scorpions, marines, and the tank anti-air unit (whose name escapes me at this point). Used Sgt Forge to protect the one outlying reactor while I used my units to place the rhinos one by one.

Also remember that for the third one you'll need to use a pelican to move the rhino and some marines to the pad. I left some marines there, though they never attacked it again.
