Why is this described as "tough"?

The direct way, it takes 50 seconds.

The dumb brute force way "Berthas, masses of mortars, etc"...... it takes 1m55s
Yes, one can build a power network, plant some 200 Berthas, and have them firing in under 2 minutes.

Starting with oodles of power, megaspeed packets, and huge territory to build unlimited reactors is way too potent.


Tried this with restriction "no reactors, no Berthas, no Mortars": took 3m45s

hm ok, tried it with rules:
"Destroy all weapons at start"
May only build collector, reactor, neutralizer, strafer and bomber.
(note, not even beams allowed)
.....still easy, still took only 4m31.7s

Ah, finally a variant that is a bit more challenging:
Start: Delete all weapons. Delete Forge. NOT allowed to rebuild forge, ever.
....6m17.3
