Peacebringer

General

The Peacebringer is Masari's most advanced ground unit, only available when Forbidden Knowledge is researched at the Knowledge Vault. It resembles the Conquerer but is much larger and possesses three cannons instead of one. Its size allows it to roll over and crush smaller units, the exceptions being the Hierarchy's walkers and hero units.

Campaign

Peacebringers are generally not encountered in any Campaign except the Masari Campaign, where they may be produced once the first mission is complete and the Conquer the World phase of the Campaign begins

Tactical Application

The Peacebringer is, barring Walkers armed with mostly weapon hardpoints and certain heroes, the most powerful unit in the game. It is extremely durable and heavily armed. Assuming their abilities are unavailable, it is capable of defeating most hero units in one-on-one face-offs. Its weapons also have a high rate of fire and can fire at air units, allowing it to hold off both ground and air assaults. As a secondary weapon, it has a tractor beam that slows one enemy unit by 30%, and the Molecular Instability upgrade at Suit 3 of the Light Tech Tree turns into a powerful weapon that deals damage to a target every second.

The Peacebringer, does however, have some drawbacks. It is very expensive, and also very slow (as a result it isn't likely to be able to take advantage of its ability to crush units since most can easily stay away from it). Fortunately, it can't be crushed by the Hierarchy walkers. Like the Conquer, it has no turret, so the Peacebringer has to turn itself to face a different target, and it's cannons inflicts less damage against infantry.

Triva & Tips

• The Peacebringer shares many similarities with the Mammoth Tank of the Command and Conquer series. Both are giant tanks not acquired until late game, can crush smaller vehicles, and have weapons for firing at targets. The similarities are not surprising as Petroglyph, the company that created Universe at War, is formed of many former employees of Westwood.
• Be wary of Science Walkers with Machine Magnets, you will need to manually target the Walker hardpoints to avoid having your Peacebringers destroy each other.
