The Raiders
These quests are focused around the Raiders and how they interfere with the player's outpost's operation. The quests themselves weave in and out of focus, and don't always lead directly into the next one. Some quests have certain level requirements and other quest prerequisites.

Repel the Raiders from Recoil Ridge (2 groups)
There are two groups of red-bordered Raider encounters. Village Raiders contain an easier group of Raiders, made easier with the inclusion of Sheriff Colt and Perkins. Gantas' Raiders has similar low-leveled Raiders, but includes Gantas himself, although unarmed. Lt Morgan and Ramsey join the player for this fight. Defeating all his troops will end this battle, but finishing off Gantas before defeating his troops will yield a nice bonus (228 SP, 1140 Gold).

Rescue Recoil Ridge Redux
Return to Defend Recoil Ridge
Repel the Recoil Ridge Invaders! (3 Groups)
The groups here are rich with high-level raiders like Brawlers, Champions, and Dust Walkers. You will get almost the full spread of hero units for the fight against Gantas, including Cassidy's deadly shooting skills. If you don't fight Gantas, he will remain around for you to kick for a while. Each of these battles also rewards 1000 XP and a Skull (chance?) in addition to the usual Gold.

Strange Bedfellows - Part 1
Sneak into Gantas' Fortress
Defeat the Raider "Witnesses"! (3 Groups)
For this quest you control three hero units; Perkins, and two Raiders, whose names are Zergel and Enver. One of them has a weapon not unlike Sheriff Colt's Shotgun, and you cannot add other units.
Note: Once you defeat the three groups of "Witnesses", Gantas will taunt you to come out and the mission proceeds to the next phase.
Next Mission: Strange Bedfellows - Part 2
Strange Bedfellows - Part 2
You will have one final battle to take on, with Gantas and two Raider Bombard cannons in the back row, which will instantly kill any of the three hero units on the field. Don't take too long to fight, or you will wind up losing. Once you finish, you will be given three Skulls for winning. There is also a set of normal Raiders in the front row. You only need to kill the units in the front row, and the mission will be complete.
After a long speech by Gantas telling you (in many more words) to just leave things be and get out of the area, you will get your reward. The group of NPCs will discuss matters, and finally suggest you keep working at building up forces and pushing where you can.
Reward: 10000 XP
Next Mission: A Plan Comes Together
Dethroning Gantas
These quests are new as of version 1.2, and pick up after the "Strange Bedfellows" fiasco. Please note, these missions can be quite difficult and a couple missions will hinge more on strategic use of units rather than throwing Super Tanks and Assasinators at the problem until it goes up in a red mist. Attempt these only if you are willing to foot Hospital bills for a while.
And yes, the "Raider Bombard" massive cannons which level most units in a direct hit will be active.
A Plan Comes Together
Note: This quest was added with version 1.2, and thus its availability is unknown at this time.
Build a Tool Shop
Build a Detonator at the Tool Shop (Takes 2 hours, costs 2500 gold and 500 Iron)
Reward: 1500 XP
Next Mission: Tanks at the Front Door
Tanks at the Front Door
Attack and create a diversion.
Defeat the Raiders! (3 Groups)
Note: The distractions will require you to feed units into the Raider Bombard cannons, which can destroy almost any unit in a single shot, so you're going to suffer a lot of casualties on these missions. During the battles, you also get control of Perkins. However, instead of a foot soldier, he is now in his own personal Light Tank. While it looks exactly the same as a normal Light Tank, it is significantly stronger. Despite this, the Raider Bombard cannons will still take it out in a single shot, so be sure to support him with other units as well. But you don't have to take kill the cannons or the walls just the towers and the troops.
Note- I have noticed that for all the power and strength of the Raider Bombard cannons, their accuracy isn't the best. Using units with high Defense may allow them to dodge more attacks from the cannons. --Potato9999 14:08, July 8, 2012 (UTC)Potato9999
One battle involves the entire front row being taken up by Mammoth Riders. Strategy by Potato9999-
Put Perkin's Tank in the front row, and put a Shock Troop in every remaining space. Use the Shock Troops to eliminate the Mammoth Riders. The Raider Bombard Cannons will miss them, for me, roughly two thirds of the time. Using this strategy, I only lost a single Shock Trooper. Another plus is that even if you do lose all your Shock Troops, they are extremely cheap to heal.
2Flame troops with two machine gunners behind them works too
Reward: 1500 XP
Next Mission: Raiders at the Back Door and Defensive Counter-Offensive
Raiders at the Back Door
Attack Gantas' Fortress
Defeat the Raiders! (1 Group)
Note: This will be fought using Elder Taos' men, meaning you get to control Dust Walkers and Raider Brawlers in a large group of mixed units. Enjoy the fun! However, they are not the special Allied Raiders you than train at your base. You really are just using normal Raiders, with the same stats as enemy Raiders.
Reward: 1500 XP
Next Mission: Watchdogs, Planting the Bomb, The War at Home
Defensive Counter-Offensive
Defeat the Raiders Counter-Attacking you. (10 Groups)
Note: These will NOT be special battles, but you will be doing this for a while.
Reward: 2000 XP
Next Mission:
Planting the Bomb
Attack Gantas' Fortress.
Attack the North OR South Patrol (1 Group)
Note: You can defeat both groups if you want extra XP.
Reward: 1500 XP
Next Mission: A Change in Plans
A Change in Plans
Attack Gantas' Fortress
Lead Elder Taos into battle, and defeat the Bombardier Ammo Runners (1 Group)
Note: Elder Taos and Zoey are the only units you will use, but this should be enough to take down the runners.
Reward: 1500 XP
Next Mission: Call of the Wild
Call of the Wild
Attack Gantas' Fortress
Defeat the Mammoth Pen Guards (1 Group)
Attack the Raiders (1 Group)
Notes: Floyd sees Mammoths bottled up in Mammoth Pens at the fortress, and feels that it is his duty to liberate them. He then rushes over there, and attempts to free the creatures. This is where you fight the first group of guards. After defeating this guard, another will arrive, adding the second goal. The first battle is Floyd against two guards, the second adds a flock of Mammoths to the battle, which YOU are able to control. The Elders have an attack which stomps the whole front row, making them easily able to crush the Raiders.
Reward: 1500 XP
Next Mission: Things go Boom
Things go Boom
"I've just put all our lives in Perkins's hands. Sorry everyone"
Detonate Zoey's Bomb (Brief cutscene)
Destroy the Bombard Cannons

Reward: 3000 XP
Next Mission: An Army of One
An Army of One
Attack Gantas' Fortress
Attack the Raiders and avenge Zoey!
Note: This battle will be Ramsey using his minigun, which has three fire modes, Mow 'em Down, which attacks the front row, Drill 'em Deep, which attacks vertically in a straight line, and The Whole Nine Yards, which attacks a single unit (15 shots however). He also will be behind a Fallen Log barrier, but it will not last long. There are more raiders which will move forward as soon as Ramsey finishes one set, culminating in a fight against a Mammoth Rider in the back row. Managing your weapon reloads is the only way to win this battle.
Reward: 1500 XP
Next Mission: Insurmountable Odds
Insurmountable Odds
Attack Gantas' Fortress
Defeat the Raider Horde!
In this battle, you get control over Morgan, Perkins, Ramsey, and Floyd. You can not add any other units, nor can you change the positions of the hero units. You fight a large group of Raiders, and when you cut them down, another equally large group arrives. You do NOT have to wipe out all the Raiders. You just have to keep fighting them until your hero units get wiped out.
Bug: Sometimes simply leaving and returning can complete the mission on accident.
Reward: 1500 XP
Next Mission: Surmountable Odds
Surmountable Odds
Attack Gantas' Fortress
Defeat the Raider Horde!
Note: This battle is fought with the hero units you have come to know, plus "The Kids" driving a Mini Tank. There are several stages to the battle, so pace yourself and the weapon reloads.

Reward: 4000 XP
Invasion!
Unlocked upon reaching level 32.
Defeat 5 of Tronk's Armies!
Note: Tronk is one of Gantas' elite leaders and was one of the few taunting you during "Insurmountable Odds". His Raider groups have a special icon, and they are what you need to destroy. Some of them will be Bombardiers who hide behind rocks, while others will be more conventional setups.
Reward: 3000 XP
Assault
Morgan: Man, this guy is creepy
Sarin: I'm not creepy! I'm stealthy and mysterious!
Morgan: Whatever you say, weirdo
Defeat 5 of Sarin's Armies!
Note: Sarin is another of Gantas' elite leaders, and will send groups of Raiders against you when this mission starts. Much like with Tronk, they will have a special icon. It is suspected but unverified that you must finish "Invasion!" before getting this mission. Some of these will be hiding behind fallen logs, so plan accordingly.
Reward: 3000 XP
Sneak Attack
Morgan! It's that crazy lady!
Defeat 5 of Crazy Blade's Armies!
Note: Crazy Blade is "Blades in Moonlight", and alike to her previous brethren will send attack forces with specific icons. These are the ones you must defeat to take credit for the quest. The special combats may be a field with rocks and three Dust Walkers.
Reward: 3000 XP
Battle of the Bonfire
Go to Gantas' Lands
Defeat the Defenses of the Central Bonfire
Reward: 4000 XP
Next Mission: Can't Shoot the Shooter, Moonlight Waltz, and Tronk Tussle
Can't Shoot the Shooter
Attack Gantas' Fortress
Defeat Sarin
Sarin calls out Cassidy and Ramsey to fight, mostly wanting to out-snipe Cassidy. Bring Cassidy to the center row if you don't have Snipers, this way she is much more useful. Otherwise, leave her in the back. Ramsey can be a good help to clean up the front row of damaged units, but he'll quickly be overwhelmed if he's in front with no protection.
Sarin's group of fights uses a lot of Raider Champions, so be aware of that challenge. Sarin himself is a Raider Sniper of sorts, and can shoot quite a lot more often. If you have your own Snipers, bring them to the battle and it becomes much easier. Otherwise you will need to blow through an entire field of large rock cover to get a clear shot.
If you don't have Snipers available to you, then tanks are necessary.
Reward: 1000 XP and level-dependent Gold for the battle, 6000 XP for the quest
Moonlight Waltz
Attack Gantas' Fortress
Defeat Crazy Blades
Crazy Blades wants Morgan, and Sheriff Colt is along to help. Morgan retains his pistols, one of which is extremely short range and the other more akin to a Trooper's rifle. Sheriff Colt has his Shotgun loaded for a small spread or for single-target mayhem.
The trouble is that Crazy Blades loves knives, and has a lot of Dust Walkers. By now you know and love/hate Dust walkers; they can very very easily destroy un-armored forces. Which includes Morgan and the Sheriff. They'll wind up in the back row where they can still hit you but you'll need Snipers to hit them first unless you can chew through the front lines quickly.
Crazy Blades is a problem character. Unlike the other two, she comes with two bodyguard Dust Walkers, and will shred anything if she isn't deflected. Yes, even tanks; she will do 100 damage even against tanks. If you have Snipers, she will kill them easily enough before you can get close to having her halfway killed. Your Hospital is going to be full after this one.
I did this with the only casualty being Sheriff Colt. This is my positions.
Row 1. (Blank) (Super Tank) (Morgan) (Super Tank) (Blank)
Row 2. (Blank) (Sniper) (Tamed Sandworm) (Sniper) (Blank)
Row 3. (Super Tank) (Sheriff Colt) (Super Tank)
Reward: 1000 XP and 2000 Gold for the battle, 6000 XP for the quest
NOTE: Some people are experiencing crashes on finishing this mission. Be forewarned of that, and know that you do not need to do the battle over again.
Tronk Tussle
Attack Gantas' Fortress
Defeat Tronk
Tronk calls out Perkins and Floyd; Perkins is in his Light Tank, Floyd has his Tranquilizer Gun.
Tronk's groupings love cannons and other explosives. This means your armor is going to get chewed up on the way in, no matter what. Tronk has rocks keeping you from hitting him as he fires his own artillery piece which replicates the Rocket Strike attack from Rocket Trucks or Heavy Recons. However HE has infinite ammunition.
Taking out Tronk is easier if you have a couple Heavy Tanks to destroy the first line of rocks, or Snipers to hit him. Be warned, you could lose Snipers or tanks fairly easily.
Reward: 1000 XP and level-dependent Gold for the battle, 6000 XP for the quest
Last Line of Defense
Attack Gantas' Fortress
Defeat Gantas' Allies
You'll have Elder Taos, Perkins, Cassidy, Ramsey, Morgan, and Sheriff Colt to help out, and be able to add six units of your own.
Here we go again! You will need to go through a few sets of Raiders which have their heroes in the ranks. Between every Raider hero fight is a fight with lesser enemies, but the first one up is Crazy Blades.
If you have anything needing to be patched up at the Hospital, do so before you go into this fight. Bring tanks to blow up obstacles in the way (there'll be lots) and avoid limited-ammunition units since there will be six waves of enemies.
One way to do this without casualties (if you use a couple nanopods):
Elder Taos - Ramsey - Morgan - Perkins - Sheriff Colt
Heavy Tank - Sniper - Cassidy - Sniper - Heavy Tank
Heavy Tank - [BLANK] - Heavy Tank
Another way, I used with no casualties (except some some campaign characters):
Elder Taos - Super Tank - Ramsey - Super Tank - Perkins
Morgan - Sniper - Cassidy - Sniper - Sheriff Colt
Super Tank - (Blank) - Super Tank
Replace heavy tanks with super tanks if you have any. Medium or light tanks on the back row may work, instead, too, because they're just to absorb damage from the dust walkers. Also you could replace the snipers with marksmen or assasinators to do a bit extra damage and last a bit longer.
Reward: 1000 XP, 2000 Gold from the battle, 8000 XP from the quest.
Next Mission: Warlord Gantas
Warlord Gantas
Attack Gantas' Fortress
Defeat Gantas
There are quite a few sections to this fight. The first section has four Warriors, six Cannoneers, a Champion, and two Walls. The second section has three Mammoth Riders, four Boom Booms, two Firebreathers, and three Cannoneers. After that, the third section has rocks up front, five Mammoth Riders, two Bombardiers, and a Cannoneer. Fourth screen has three Dust Walkers, four Brawlers, and six Champions. The final screen has two Dust Walkers behind large rocks and Gantas in the back. Gantas has 1,000 HP and wields a huge cannon which can easily blow up tanks.
One way to do this without casualties (if you use a couple nanopods):
Elder Taos - Ramsey - Morgan - Perkins - Sheriff Colt
Heavy Tank - Sniper - Cassidy - Sniper - Heavy Tank
Heavy Tank - Heavy Tank - Heavy Tank
Replace heavy tanks with super tanks if you have any. Medium or light tanks on the back row may work, instead, too, because they're just to absorb damage from the dust walkers.
After you destroy Gantas there will be a small cinematic scene and the next quest will become available.
Reward: 1000 XP and 50 Gold for the battle, 15000 XP for the quest.
