Geo sea / Armada / Economy first / OBSERVED BUILD

Standard geo sea

The role's normal opening: bot lab then shipyard in the cove, an early submarine and destroyer to contest the sea, and a geothermal around 7:45 to fund the transition into destroyers, fast assault corvettes and assault frigates.

Usually shipyard in the cove (87%)

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Shipyard by 3:13

  1. Open 3 mex and wind into Bot Lab.
  2. Put up Shipyard with naval turret and BP for defense.
  3. Send out "submarine" then "destroyer" to contest the sea.
  4. Bring geothermal online to fund the fleet.
  5. Add Advanced Metal Extractor as the economy transitions.
