Desc:
One command node; three possible starting positions. Each position is rich in one resource. Choose wisely, commander.

Sadly, I didn't choose wisely.
On the plus side, I get to try again!
Fun game.

Fun idea, but as you didn't change the terrain texture, and the terrain is rectangle based yet has weird roundish and uneven edges, all of it seems like an unfinished early version of a map. The game itself is rather nice.

I first landed on totems, and just build a siphon on the aether resource pack and then flew the CN to ore and build the base there. You waste a little time but a 1000 aether for it is not a bad deal :D

I see I missed a shortcut.  ;)

I played through from all three starting points. Ended up with aether fastest and energy slowest (but not a large difference.) At least part of that may be pure geography - either ore or aether offer much better chances to fight your way in to one of the others in time to be useful.
