Fun Strategies I Learned (that can be applied to Zero-K)

Hammer & Anvil:
Stun a force, then take it out with assault forces.

A good example is sending in annoying units like assaults and skirmishers to force the opponent's forces into a bad position.
Then the raiders do the good job

Blitzkrieg:
Move swiftly before the enemy retaliates.
That's right, germans were the original cheesers. Who knows? Maybe there were more cheesers before that.

Leapfrogging:
Avoid the big defenses, focus on the small islands.

Guerilla warfare:
Using few well-positioned units that are annoying to deal with, and might be useless to fight against. Mines, cheap tanks, anything to waste the opponent's time.
My favorite strategy

Additional fun strategies I learned (that can be applied to Zero-K):
Smash & Grab:
You smash the enemy frontlines, then use the hole to raid the backlines. (Best units: Assaults for smash, raiders for grab. Cloaking is preferred.)

Pacifism:
You do the evil thing and add morality to the game. You only attack if the enemy attacks, punishing him for ever engaging in the act... of playing the game as intended.

Shock & Awe:
Concentrate your attack into a single blast. Once the enemy is startled, use the time to attack the panicking enemy from the inside. Doing so is possible only if you have better knowledge of the battlefield.

Hit & Run:
Hover simulator.

Runby:
Send a unit to constantly walk around the enemy's base and causing massive damage, even if it's just a single scorcher. Classic.
