Hold [Left Shift] and click on the round speaker at the title screen to play the four bonus Giant Ant missions. To kill the ants easily, use Rocket Soldiers. However, use Medium or Mammoth Tanks for the Fire Ants. If your units are standing still, they will have a much better chance of killing the ants.

Build a Chronoshere and use it many times. If you have done it enough times, you will see a circle that appears as if it is sucking up the ground. Stay far away from it, as it shoots out powerful lightning bolts.
Low power strategyWhen you have low power, your defense (Turret, Flame Tower, Pillbox, etc.) can still function. But structures such as Tesla Coils, AA Guns, and Radar Domes will go offline. Your radar will not appear until the power is back to normal. However, your other structures will still build or repair depending on how much power is available to you; the less power, the slower the construction.
Tanks vs. spyAlthough you may think your spy is safe if no dogs are present, tanks are still dangerous. They will not shoot at your spy, but will instead try to crush him.
Making cruisers accurateCruisers will miss when firing at something in the distance. Hold [Ctrl] and click to force them to fire on the ground and a little above the target.
Ore truck defenseIf infantry are attacking your ore truck, simply use the ore truck to crush them.
Free menBuild a missile silo. When the missile is ready, sell the silo and immediately launch the missile. If this was done quickly enough, the sale will have stopped and some troops will come out of the silo.
