HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: T2 constructor by 4:55

  1. Open 2 mex and wind, then Bot Lab by 0:35.
  2. Rush geothermal powerplant to fund T2 ahead of other roles.
  3. Get T2 constructor out to start building T2 units.
  4. Add Vehicle Plant and Advanced Geothermal for the T2 push.
  5. Fly first Starlight to front with a transport from Air.
