It's been a long time since I used controller so this was surprisingly difficult to manage, https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1995390 bandit plains so of course mono bandit (with turrets)

First match is the "official" submission since it follows the rules but was done with mouse and keyboard: https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1999292

Second one was with controller but too slow because of a sneaky constructor. The "real" part was done in time so good enough for me: https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1999312

This honestly seemed a bit too easy as shields. Still, was second try because first time I was too passive. Global build queue seemed to hinder quite a bit this match (as usual).

Was not that bad with controller even with an awful start. AI just doesn't handle shielded cons turret creeping well.

I did it... What an awful challenge (not in a bad way specifically), I'm not used to managing my energy and placing things at the edge is honestly just incredibly annoying for me since my camera settings don't allow for precise zooming. I'm glad it's over, ended up using the basic glaive + trinity strat since I wasn't able to make shield or tank work. Size of the map made this really challenging as well as the early com loss (forgetting to self d made me restart a bunch of attempts).

Not going to attempt this with controller since it doesn't have the precision required in my eyes.

I added more playtime to Zero-K this week than in the last year or two (playing the game at least), yet, I wasn't able to complete the mission. It felt brutal (yes intended) and every time I got a good match going I hit a brick wall in lance, shieldball etc where their army value was simply too much. I was never able to put on enough pressure to disrupt their eco, and I excessed loads because I didn't make enough factories. 16k excess wasn't uncommon.

I would like to congratulate Madez but Googlefrog managed to complete the challenge just before the bell. I knew terraform cheese was an option and even gave it a couple of quick attempts but didn't want to continue on like that. It's a valid strategy but I didn't want to win that way. Good luck to our last two competitors, bash those bots!

I'll keep playing the challenges since I want to try some of the more creative ones, it hurts a bit to lose on this one since it felt a bit bland (although this was intended)
