Standard beach sea

Armada Beach sea build order · Supreme Isthmus

Economy-first sea play: shipyard right away, a destroyer by around 5 minutes, then an Advanced Metal Extractor as the eco scales up, with later ships like corvette, frigate and submarine filling out the fleet; this is the role's baseline…

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Shipyard by 1:40, first destroyer by 4:52

  1. Open 3 mex into tidal generators for early energy.
  2. Rush Shipyard straight from the opening eco.
  3. Keep adding mex and naval energy converters to fund the fleet.
  4. Get your first destroyer out to contest the sea.
  5. Transition into Advanced Metal Extractor as eco scales.
