Alma is the military headquarters of Arulco and the main training facility for Queen Deidranna's military.

Characteristics

A landlocked hybrid of a city and a military base, Alma is teeming with soldiers, munitions and barricades. The residential/commercial district serves the needs of the soldiers and their families who reside there, and the town leans on the base for their livelihood.

Conquering Grumm

Expect concentrated resistance every step of the way. Many patrols roam the jungle and farm sectors surrounding Alma and often will need to be dealt with before even entering the city. If they are bypassed, they will quickly reinforce or attempt to retake any sectors that your squad captures.

Sector H13 - Military Headquarters

Sector H14 - Storage Depot

"The queen has things in building here for army. There are many good things." — Dimitri Guzzo

  • Save for a scant handful, every enemy here is in one of the two massive storage warehouses here that make up the sector.
  • The wide, flat roofs here provide excellent vantage points for anyone on top of them - a fact that has not escaped the enemy's notice. There will be one guard on each of the two roofs here, who must be dealt with before the roofs can be safely utilizied.
  • The large sliding doors lining both warehouses are electronically locked and trapped. The only doors going in that aren't trapped are the small doors on the north end of each building.
  • A switch in the small office behind the small room in the north side of the north building will open every vertical sliding door in the sector, so watch what you touch.
  • An effective tactic here is to clear off the roofs of the storage buildings, then line your squad up on the rooftops and let one merc flip the switch to open the doors.
  • v1.13 - if you're attacking here first, be very alert for reinforcements coming into this sector from the mines. The mine always has extra soldiers manning it due to its strategic importance, which means they always have a few to spare to help out a neighboring sector that's under attack.

Sector I13 - Barracks and Prison

Sector I14 - Alma Mine

"I do not know how the people of Alma live this way, so close to the Queen's army. She has manspy here, too. He spies and makes them be good. He makes them work in mines all day." — Dimitri Guzzo

  • The northern approach, coming from H14 Storage Depot is ideal, as the houses along the northern end of this sector provide natural barricades and entrenchment to hunker down behind and fight from. Two competent squads fighting from behind this row of houses can make taking this sector a very smooth and painless process. The northernmost house along this street has a flat roof, and its an ideal position for a sniper to cover the entire street.
  • Be wary of the fenced off wooded area in the northwest - a group of 3-4 soldiers is usually nestled inside here. They won't be able to come out, as the fence has no opening, but they have a clear view of the flat rooftop, and they'll take potshots at you through the treeline. The natural cover can make even spotting them, let along retaliating tough.
