Plan your next Executive Assault 2 session
Our independent guide breaks down Executive Assault 2’s core systems, offering observations that let you align strategy with the game’s built‑in options. By comparing faction traits, base layouts, and the RTS‑to‑FPS transition, you can make informed choices without relying on undocumented shortcuts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Faction Mining Comparison
List each faction’s asteroid‑mining technique and note early‑game resource yields. Compare the figures to decide which faction best supports rapid expansion.
- Compare the mining techniques of each faction before committing to a playstyle.
- Experiment with early tech branches to see which faction’s strengths align with your strategy.
02 / THE GUIDE
Power Flow Mapping
Sketch a simple diagram of your base’s generators, storage, and consumption points. Identify any sections where demand exceeds supply and adjust building placement accordingly.
- Prioritize power generation early to avoid bottlenecks when adding new buildings.
- Position turrets near resource nodes to protect mining operations.
03 / THE GUIDE
FPS Perspective Test
Enter FPS mode with a robot, then with a starfighter, recording how each view changes enemy awareness. Use the observations to plan future RTS assaults.
- Use FPS mode to scout enemy outposts before launching a full RTS invasion.
- Coordinate with teammates in co‑op FPS runs to secure high‑value targets quickly.
04 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Promotion Tracking
Play a co‑op session with a friend, noting promotions earned per hour. Compare this rate to solo play to gauge teamwork efficiency for tech unlocks.
- Mix AI and human CEOs to balance challenge and teamwork.
- Experiment with different team sizes to see how they affect base defense.
05 / THE GUIDE
Custom Map Balance Check
Design a small map with two opposing bases and a central resource node. Playtest both sides to see if the layout favors one faction, then tweak structures for balance.
- Test different base placements in the editor to find optimal resource routes.
- Use custom logos to clearly differentiate allied and rival companies during multiplayer.
