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.
