'I' is harder than 'H'
I agree, Alphabet-I takes longer to finish than Alphabet-H. But I thought Alphabet-H was more surprising than Alphabet-I, because in Alphabet-H you are tempted to expand into the available plateau space too quickly, and end up with more real estate than you have energy to defend. It takes a couple of Restarts to learn how to survive. In Alphabet-I, you are clearly going to be space-constrained and reactor-heavy from the beginning, all of the plateau is defensible, and it shouldn't take a Restart to learn how to survive.
Both maps are interesting in their own way.
Very instersting map. Never felt challenged but just had to build a lot of reactors then claiming more and more space with the blasters.
