Legion Geo build order · Supreme Isthmus

Geo rushes the geothermal and T2 constructor on the usual timeline, reclaiming its first bot lab for metal, then upgrades to an advanced bot lab and transitions into T1/T2 bots like Arquebus and Hoplite to send to front while supplying…

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Geothermal Powerplant by 3:22

  1. Open mex and wind, then build Legion Bot Lab for early units.
  2. Finish Legion Bot Lab fast, planning to eat it at 3:17.
  3. Build geothermal, then advanced geothermal by 7:05 for power.
  4. Reclaim bot lab into Legion Vehicle Plant, then Advanced Vehicle Plant.
  5. Transition into T2 vehicles like Cicero and Charon for front and allies.
