Ouroboros Challenge

Challenge

“	The Last Bastion is mass-producing the Boidmachines and has reinforced a battlebase with multiple Plasmerizers around it. Luckily, the waters around the island have frozen and a path for the ground forces was created. Now is the time to strike!	”
	—Map description

Ouroboros Challenge is the twelfth Challenge map, where the enemy forces consist of three Last Bastion bases that host Boidmachines and Plasmerizers far more than normally allowed. The enemies also have Ramwagons at the ready.

Information

The enemy starts with 16 Plasmerizers and tech defences around the map, fueled by Tech Power Plants and Tech Nuclear Plants. Each AI has a Tech Maintenance Center, a Tech Defense Bureau and a Tech Machine Shop. Notably, in the area directly facing the players' bases across the land bridge, there are four Plasmerizers guarded by a large number of Shrike Nests, Neutralizers and Sweepers.

The enemy has 2 Boidmachines for each, which means they have 6 of them at a time, two for each base, which will be activated one by one during the battle. The enemy also has access to Ramwagons that are usually seen patrolling the battlebase in groups of 3.

Trivia

The challenge's name refers to the ancient symbol depicting a snake or a dragon eating its own tail.
The challenge's map is a remake of Hidden Fortress from Red Alert 3, with three icy roads connecting the southwest island to the fortress. Moreover, Rising Sun flags can be found all over the map.
