Empire Earth Speedrun (Russian Campaign) - Jewel in the East

Jewel in the East
Objectives:
Capture 8 Cyber Factories or Cyber Laboratories.
Lead Molotov to the Time Machine.

This mission is where random AI becomes a massive PITA. I'm up against 3 factions, all of whom have groups of units pretty much randomly running around the map, and I need to get half a dozen Priests to cross the map safely. A single lucky group can kill all my priests and ruin the attempt.
The only efficient way to get 8 Cyber buildings is to convert five of the six in the south-east city, along with the three in Baotou. Before you're able to convert anything, however, you need to destroy Universities, as they block the ability to convert (social criticism woo!). And of course, I'll have to kill a bunch of units and towers to keep those priests safe, as well as open up a way to that time machine.
To make matters easier (especially that last objective), I abuse the signature ability of the Apollo cyber. Ion Shield halves all damage taken by a unit, which is then further reduced by armor (which I've upgraded), making my units take almost no damage from towers instead of being three-shot by them. Especially for Molotov's little hike it's a life saver.
I lost a lot of units in the extraordinarily massive battle for the city, but they don't actually do that much damage against buildings (the hero units do most of the work) so it's not a big deal. Conversion speed can be extremely random, so the fact that the final conversion lined up pretty well with Molotov's arrival makes this mission good enough for me.
