Tank Factory

Overview
The Tank Factory is a production-based structure with no main defenses in The Conquerors III. The building has a large amount of health and has no defense mechanism, and as a result, does no damage, can not reload, and has no range. The building costs $235, which is around the average of production-based buildings in the game of $241, with an absolute deviation of 6.

The Tank Factory produces 4 distinct types of units: Light Tanks, Heavy Tanks, Anti-Air Tanks, and Explosive Tanks. This structure is valued by many players, as it is vital to having a successful ground-based army. Tanks, in all armies, are the most powerful (in terms of damage per second and health) land-based unit. If a user is attacking a base with only infantry, their troops will most likely perish. Tanks can and are used as the main attacker in a ground-based army, and are sometimes the units that absorb an enemy's fire. The base capacity for Tanks in either a Survival or 4v4 Conquest is 6, while in a game of Conquest, King of the Hill, or Territory Conquest, the base capacity for Tanks is 7.

Usage
The building, as stated in the Overview section, is a production-centered building with no defenses. Below is a chart of the cost and functionality of each unit sold by the Tank Factory.

Basic Strategy

 * A recommended plan of action is to buy the Tank Factory when one has both a steady income and a large infantry. These two factors allow for one to know when they can get and will have infantry to defend the factory (among other buildings if the Tank Factory is placed with other main structures).
 * Another recommendation, which goes along with the one above, is to attempt to get a Tank Factory as fast as possible. In some cases, such as a 3v3 or a 4v4, where there are many members of one specific team, it is recommended that one of the "sacrifice", or uses the cash one is given at the start of a game on a Tank Factory instead of income-building structures such as a Power Plant or a Nuclear Plant.
 * The last recommendation is to not use Light Tanks as they do less damage and can not assist an army as much as a Heavy Tank can.

Trivia

 * The Tank Factory was in The Conquerors, The Conquerors 2, and The Conquerors Mark 2.
 * Tank Factory is the 4th most expensive Production Building in the game.
 * Tank Factory is the only building that can produce Tank.
