HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: T2 constructor by 7:43

  1. Open mex and wind, drop Bot Lab and Vehicle Plant almost immediately.
  2. Pump Blitz, Rocketeer and Pawn to the coast to stop leaks first.
  3. Add Centurion and Janus once first units are moving up.
  4. Form units into a line pushing toward middle as numbers grow.
  5. Upgrade to Advanced Metal Extractor as the economy transition kicks in.
