Centurion push

Geo builds Centurion bots very early (from 2:39) and gets a transport from Air, moving into an early Aircraft Plant with bombers and fighters instead of the usual T2 rush; despite the name, units only reach the middle rather than being…

Those units destroy a typical 984 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into Starlight (22% of army), blitz (21% of army), bomber (10% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Centurion push by 2:39

  1. Open Bot Lab immediately, ahead of the usual geo-first order.
  2. Push Centurion bots out fast for an early front push.
  3. Get a light transport (Hercules) from an ally to fly Centurions to front.
  4. Build Aircraft Plant for bombers and fighters as you transition.
  5. Bring Starlight online as the late push continues.
