Alternatively, one can pursue a micro intensive combat strategy, as opposed to a metal heavy one. The metal can then go into eco or escalation.

Random team games are interesting because the right play is less obvious, there is few ways a single player can "force" the direction of the game into a well explored direction. If bad players have less influence, the game state collapses into a far fewer optimal progressions.

I am reminded of a recent game which was won by throwing everything into dirtbags and spiders to stalling opponent off mexes until kids finished building 2 pala and hercs before moving out. It wasn't pretty but it worked.

There
was
also
games
where
the
entire
game
was
helped
by
force
firing
various
unspotted
mexes
with
a
few
impaler
and
rebuilding
mexes.
I
think
that
resulted
in
a
few
thousand
extra
metal
by
the
end.
