[Challenge] Offworld Resource Suppliers

Parameters

Players: 4-8 AI and/or Humans

Difficulty: Manager+

Speed: Normal

Map Size: Small for 4, Medium for 6+

Resource Min: NONE

Resource Presence: RARE

Terrain: Random

New Resources: Yes



Goal:

The goal of this exercise is to rely heavily on the Resource Market for your base resources, investing all of your resources into the refining of those into Electronics, Glass, Chemicals, Food, Fuel, and O2. This will also test your ability to quickly switch production if the production of a refined material, such as electronics, becomes too expensive due to the cost of one of the base resources. 


Other Notes:

You can try to control the very limited resources on the map, but expect frequent sabotage. Expect some matches to end before the first Offworld Market is built. Feel free to share your replays, just note what version they are for.

I feel like Hacker Array and getting resources back from scraping are the key in such a setup.

Two others are Underground Nukes and Slant Drilling.

yeah, they work really well combined... having a cluster around a 3 or 2 stack, gets nuked.

It works well if you can stock up on goon squads for the central resource and nuke the other high level of the same resource, You would dominate the market.
