  1. Take 3 mex, then wind and a Bot Lab to open eco fast.
  2. Push T2 lab out, aim to pass T2 to air player.
  3. Get first T2 constructor building, prioritize mex upgrades over eco.
  4. Finish Advanced Metal Extractor, keep upgrading team's mex.
  5. Add fus and anti-nuke, keep feeding T2 cons and Umbrella/Citadel to team.
