ENGINEER – T1 CONSTRUCTOR
The basic Engineer is invaluable for early expansion, for reclaiming map features, and for setting up preliminary defenses / radar towers. The Aeon engineer’s sacrifice option actually helps at the end of the game when you want to clear out your now-useless T1 engineers – just put them on any reasonably expensive project.

SPIRIT – LAND SCOUT
Don’t be fooled by the gun, a Land Scout provides radar support and that’s it. Place one at a choke point or likely area of approach and you won’t have to build an early radar system in your base, freeing up an Engineer for real jobs. If you see an undefended Mass Extractor, send a light assault bot instead.

FLARE – LIGHT ASSAULT BOT
The Flare does an awful lot of damage for something so cheap, but it’s totally dead against anything that isn’t another T1 land unit. Micromanaged, they’re great for controlling space, killing any Engineers that venture outside the enemy base, and generally getting the upper hand.
You can also put them inside a T1 gunship and they’ll fire, creating a Chariot Gunship. Of course, remember not to rely on them for actually defeating the enemy base; if you have air superiority, go straight for their Commander.

AURORA – LIGHT TANK
The Aurora isn’t like the Striker or Mantis; really, it’s a light and fast raiding platform. It’s amphibious, so you can make a huge Aurora rush on river maps; it has a powerful and relatively long-ranged gun, so it can take down enemy units (except for T1 point defenses); its only flaw is its very light armor. Beware of an opponent teching up and making your Auroras obsolete.

FERVOR – MOBILE LIGHT ARTILLERY
The Aeon light artillery really shines because the Aeon need their extra damage to make up for the light armor on their tanks.
(A Fervor has MORE armor than an Aurora!) The Fervor lets you fire up hills, helps fight enemy assault bots and point defense, and generally smoothes the transition to T2. Build plenty.

THISTLE – MOBILE ANTI-AIR GUN
Frankly, the Thistle is terrible. It can barely hit an air transport, let alone a bomber squad tearing your tanks apart. Build interceptors instead.
