Halo Wars Mission 6: Dome of Light Speed Run / Strategy Guide in 4:09

This is an individual level speedrun for Halo Wars' sixth mission, "Dome of Light". I'll describe what I do and why in text.

This mission involves a lot of micro-management, and has very interesting strategies. First, I send all my units to take care of the base clean-up, which is required to enable the Rhino drops, while making two supply pads. I then tell Forge and the two marine squads to get supplies very specifically, and the three spartans to travel over to the second drop spot to get supplies and prepare to destory the covenant outpost before it spawns.

Heavy use of Pelicans to move the Rhinos as they are faster than moving on the ground. I send the first one to the first spot, sometimes they need a bit of readjustment, then I immediately prepare the next one. when the first one lands, the covenant outpost spawns and I get the spartans and Forge to destory them. The turrets can often kill one or two of the spartans if you're unlucky. As soon as possible, transport the Rhino with the Pelican to the drop point and move the spartans over to the fourth point, and get marines and Forge to collect more supplies.

Once the third Rhino is ready, I have to wait to transport it, otherwise the game will delay the de-fogging of the third position, so I wait until Anders begins to speak and then prepare and enact the transport. While this is happening I set up the spartans getting supplies at the fourth drop point and tell the marines and Forge to go to the fifth.

When the third Rhino is at the drop point, I immediately get the next one, and as soon as possible transport it to the fourth position. Hijacking the Locust can be nice, but it's not required, I set the spartans to guard position 4 and get the others to clear 5.

When the fourth Rhino is ready, I destroy the supply pads, and then the base, to get supplies in order to purchase and transport the fifth and final Rhino, then finish the mission.

At the end, if you cancel the Mac cannon, the game does it for you and is more accurate, so I just mash cancel and then win.
