Conquest Snowball · Predator Path
A predator build. The plan is not to outscale the lobby — it is to feed on it. Hit a single Air Base + 2 Missile Launcher timing, capture the weakest player, retrofit their slots into Reactors, then immediately re-arm and strike the next. Each conquest compounds your income multiplier; three captures and you are uncatchable.

When to pick Conquest Snowball · Predator Path
The Military Rush archetype is not always the right call. Use these reads in your first 60 seconds of scouting to confirm.
- You spotted an econ-only player with no Barracks or Border Towers by minute 8.
- Aggressive lobby where the first capture sets the tone — you want to be the aggressor.
- You are confident enough to commit fully; half-rushes lose to turtles.
- Lobby has multiple Bunkers visible by mid-game — your damage gets ground down.
- Your neighbours all opened with Workshops — they will out-tempo your raw Air Base.
- You are still learning timings — a mistimed Air Rush is a guaranteed elimination.

Conquest Snowball · Predator Path expansion plan
- P1Phase 1 (0–6 min): Workshop → farm → Wood Plant → Houses. No defensive buildings yet — you do not plan to be raided.
- P2Phase 2 (6–14 min): Steel Mill + Soldier Statue + first Air Base. Pre-position 2 Missile Launchers on the border facing your target.
- P3Phase 3 (14–18 min): First strike. Pick the lobby's weakest econ-only player. Lead with Black Hawks, follow with missiles.
- P4Phase 4 (18–25 min): Retrofit captured slots into Nuclear Reactors. Build a second Air Base from the conquest cash.
- P5Phase 5 (25 min+): Strike again. Repeat until the lobby has nobody left who can fight back.
Critical Conquest Snowball · Predator Path callouts
- Read the lobby in the first 90 seconds. If everyone is rushing military, abort to Turtle Defense.
- Never leave conquered slots empty. The multiplier is in the buildings, not the territory.
- Two Missile Launchers per Air Base is the minimum. Three is overkill. One gets sniped before it matters.
- Keep one General home on defense after your second conquest — you become a target.
