Hilarious strategy I thought up, The stealth generator rush Options

[Scary Monster]

This works like magic against the CPU and perhaps even against humans too if they neglect to make a mobile sensor array early.

Everyone knows the Subterranean APC engineer rush as Nod. It's a good idea to have an obelisk ready to plant the moment you capture a building.
However, if you have the tech to make a subAPC or obilisk, you also have the tech to make stealth generators. Have one of those ready and place it instead of an obelisk and the building you capture will vanish. If you still have engineers left over, you can freely capture and sell his radar (or war factory) so he can't counter with an MSA.
So long as the building you took stands, you can place a Hand of Nod next to it and pump out engineers. Every building you capture will vanish under the cloak.

If he has lots of defence structures you can freely build lasers or whatever in his base under the cloak. If they get too damaged, deactivate them so they recloak while you repair them as you build more. Just make certain you capture and sell either his radar or war factory to prevent him making a MSR.

If he's smart, he's already walled off his contruction site, but you should be able to cripple him anyway and have time to make rocket soldiers to punch a hole in that wall.
What do you think?

you know what would be really funny? It would be funny if you built a nod barraks right next to an mkII and then send out a hijacker to capture it, using the build cheat to get your building in their base. then destroy their base with their own mkII hahahha.

Cheating is pretty sick and despicable and I don't think that exploit works any more anyhow. It would make more sense and take less time to capture important structures with engineers early or flood his base with lasers and Obelisks if you're going to something lame like that.

I only play with <3000 bucks to start so if the match lasts long enough for extremely powerful units like MKII to come out, it means you are exremely evenly matched or have tons of free money to tech really high for a pointlessly protracted battle.
