The point is I can't finish such games... and since cards are random I can't really get a specific one, can I?
Why are you using only 1 Astraeus? Think bigger! Use 100+ Astraeuses. Fill half of them with anti-air units, and half with fabricators. Build a teleporter, rush units through. It's pretty easy – you just need to not limit yourself. If you're trying to do something and it's not working – think bigger! Build more! Never ever sop expanding.
i had the same problem. sending down 5 advanced fabbers and blasting a T2 army (mixed 1:5 with AA) through the TP immediately helps. From what i've seen of the response force sent by the AI, setting up two sites simultaneously might work even better. use PIP for easy gate linking and a waypoint of your factories to the teleporter to immediately thrown an army through.
Attacking two places at once is always a good idea. Even players have difficulty with that. One of my favorite strategies is to send in a small attack force on one side, and 5 seconds later, send a much larger attack force in on the other side.
It also helps to establish teleporters and army on multiple planets earlier. If you have 8 mexes, you should have 1 tank factory or at least a grenadier factory. If you have 12, and multiple planets exist and the enemy is off planet, you should quickly have got astraeus to quickly get teleporter over there. I had difficulty, but with 1 commander beat 3 commanders on 3 planets. It is a stalemate, I threw thousands of units into their base of a planet and after thousands of units didn't penetrate. However, I tried and tried until I got a game where I was fast enough to get a grip on all 3 and early kill on my planet's commander so I could deal with the other 2 before they got out of control. That was with only vehicle t1 too.
If you're having trouble, then something's wrong with your playstyle because Normal is really easy... Check out these tutorials: http://pamatches.com/tutorials/ They'll help. Mainly... never stop expanding!
Off course I'm doing sth wrong Thx for the tutorials. I'm not new to RTS, but this game is multi layered! This is something your brain needs to get accustomed with...
Yeah. The massive scale and spherical nature of the game makes it very... unique. But awesome once you get into it.
Yea i've been thinking, in hindsight the AI i shared my planet with probably got too much attention. I think it can be streamlined by just flooding the sharing AI with Infernos while building a TP on the enemy planets and establishing a foothold there.
