HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Shipyard by 3:12

  1. Open 3 mex and wind, then drop Bot Lab by 1:12.
  2. Build Shipyard in the cove to start the naval contest.
  3. Pump submarine then destroyer to contest enemy sea entry.
  4. Add geothermal powerplant to fund the economy transition.
  5. Upgrade to Advanced Metal Extractor as eco scaling finishes.

WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY

Standard Geo sea play wins slightly less than half the time but builds a strong metal base by 15:00 with moderate losses.

  • + Metal produced reaches 29210 by 15:00, well above Beach sea's early pace.
  • + Corsair (destroyer) makes up 34% of army, a clear naval focus.
  • − Own metal lost climbs to 6339 by 15:00 from sea skirmishes.
  • − Geothermal only completes in 58% of games, an inconsistent power spike.
