Mindustry Campaign: Stronghold in less than 30 minutes

Next campaign map is Stronghold. Everyone is talking about it being hard. If I use math then I can declare that it is... 50% more!
Early on I said I'm not doing speed runs... buuuut... well my first attempt was so close to a nice round number that I set the goal for myself to capture it in less than 30 minutes. The map itself isn't hard; there are plenty of approaches that could result in "not losing" (winning slowly), but working on the optimization to do it as fast as I can was a lot of fun.
Oh, and the map after this is Crevice. I'm gonna skip that one because it's boring. It's just a bigger Ravine and the same approach also clears it quickly: rush surge, built afflicts, and ignore carbide.
Visit my PvP servers! That's the whole point of doing any videos.
I operate the Eviction Mindustry servers, which are based on hex war and balanced for competitive and individual focused PvP. It plays like a real time strategy game but trying to emphasize building, economy, defenses and mass production of units instead of micro management.

The scariest part of this planet is not knowing where things are because of the fog of war. take that away and everything feels a lot easier

[@sharkenjoyer]

honestly yeah that's one of the strengths and weaknesses of erekir
sometimes the fog of war makes everything feel too cramped and it's sometimes hard to expand

[@Fretoi]

​@@sharkenjoyer, they literally force you to play twice, in fact Erekir is incredibly simple

[@sharkenjoyer]

@@Fretoi wut?
What do you mean force to play twice?
For me the gameplay loop of erekir is always pretty much the same
Step 1. Estabilish a defense line strong enough to withstand whatever the enemy will throw at you
Step 2. Wait 2 hours to amass 15 anthicuses and locuses and zerg rush the cores and beat the map in 5 minutes

[@shaydenprime275]

@sharkenjoyer it iften takes 2 tries to beat an erekir map. Because on the first attempt you dont know what the map looks like cause, fog of war

Glad someone else found the little arkycite lake at the bottom

I tried submitting it, and the judge didn't understand the concept of "this upload is a combination of three videos"

[@isaacparsons2731]

You can have a small chem generator and a large power beam to connect it to the base
