A rather challanging assault across the void, took me 2 and a half hours to finish but I am not exactly the best player.

Thanks for making this.
I gave it a good long look, but decided to pass. The concept of play is easily seen, but that is going to be just too much of a slog without a ready supply of Aether to make improvements.
If you made another version and included a couple of Berthas and some Totems at the left side, that would be a fun challenge.
Thanks,

I agree. At the same time, you

can use the totem on the right side

but it takes time, with no effort.

A good, solid 30-minute challenge

The act of limiting my Terps to just one is a particularly effective form of torture!


my approach:

Spoiler

used sacrificial guppies (8 is enough) to harvest the Totem for some tech. Mostly spent on build/packet speed.
otherwise *ignored* the front landing strip and terraces.
Sent huge fleet (no resupply) to clear some ground in the far east.
-landed command node to neutralize the airdefense, then returned CN to left for power.
-used a fleet of roughly 40 guppies to supply an invasion from the rear.

terp only used to leveling the territory to ease building the power and invasion fleets.

Wish my aunt Bertha was here, I could really have used her help!
