Eagle Empire - Campaignguide
By Horus Heresy
For those who struggle with certain levels I want to give some assistance. Those have been my ways of solving the levels on hard difficulty.

North America I really really hope you can make it through a guide without my guide guiding you through the guide.

Castle of Cards
Build one Mashinegun, select it, hold CRTL and select the others aswell. Defend off those mortarshots and make sure your weapons dont overheat. When the mortar is not fireing aim for the wooden strutt underneath said mortar - once it falls to its death you can shoot the barrel behind the corpse of this action winning you the level.

Second Ammendment
Just strech up a tower to the sniper outpost and git gud. This is shooting practice only, beware of the bulletdrop and if you are not knowing where to start hold the left mouse button when aiming and drag it over the mortars. A green line should appear that gives you the direct approach (not including bulletdrop)

Sitting on a Bomb
You have infinite resources just build the bridge out of metal and this part will be fine. Try aiming too high first, if you hit too low you might accidantly blow up the enemy fort before killing the mortars since underneath the lower mortar there is a gap in the armor with an angled armorpiece in the fort that will bounce of your sniperbullet which then will cause a chainreaction.

Alternative Facts
Building bridges can be a tough thing, just keep in mind how reallife bridges look. This gap isnt big so you will make it if you just somewhat imitate that. Build a mashingunner on the roof where the others are, upgrade them and once all of them are upgraded group them and fire straight on the reactor. You still have infinite resources so no time to waste!

WMD
Set each prebuilt sniper to a weapongroup, they are on the same height as the enemy snipers, so once one gets built just go through all 3 groups and press only E. no adjustments. They wont hit everytime but they will get them in time. Build one more sniper ontop of the reactor this one will be your sniper (once upgraded) to get that chainreaction going. To get to the upgradecenter you will have to build a bridge without bending over the fort, this would screw up the allignment of your snipers. I suggest you build a foundation down the wall and then build a bridge only one plank thick, stabilize it with ropes. And never forget to take out that enemy snipers during that.

Rough Wipe
You still have infinite resources so just build metal slopes infront of you base, the grid helps you to build them in a 45° angle. Build a sniper ontop and upgrade it (requires upgradecenter) and shoot down the miniguns. As in the previous level you dont want to be shooting below them so start aiming too high. Additionally you have to consider you have to shoot them through SHUT doors. So best time to snipe them is after they have stopped firing.

Burning down the House
You still have infinite resources so just pop down that workshop and put a gunner on each of the steps infront of your base. If you do not play on hard those will automatically defend your base if you have none of them selected - they are not perfect but 6 gunners really should to the job 95% of the time. Next up in the back of your base there are triangles. Make them squares. You want the back of your base rooted or it will wobble too much. Build 3 mortars ontop of your base once you can, aim middlish at 80%-85% power. This should hit from the mortar bay to the bridge. Once you have the angle right just repeat the fire via E till the base is down. Be aware that your own mashineguns will shoot down your mortars if they are shooting down the enemies mortarfires at that very moment.

A bridge too far
Building the bridges - again - orientate on ordinary reallife bridges. This time if you feel like its going to break build a tower where it is stable on the ground and rope your bridge to this tower. You have no need to rush the AI in this level is purely defensive. You dont have an armor piercing sniper so to take out those mashineguns you will have to fire your nukes. To make sure those dont kill the mashineguns aim off. The only thing you need at this point is having their doors open to shoot them. Once you got them all down just aim for the core.

That sinking feeling
Just build to the platform on the right and then build up a bit from your core. Create space for 6 mortars, build those and then just find the right angle of attack - which should be at about 85% middlish aim. If your base wobbles to much rope it off to both sides of your hole. The enemy will fire back so dont ingnore the fire that'll come up.

@Bliccer there is one achievement for doing it on normal and one for doing it on hard I believe.

After "that sinking feeling" you should receive a "all medal part1" achievement, if you have gathered all medals? Cause I havent... is this only for normal mode?
