This mission works pretty well. It is sort of a sandbox build a base and kill stuff mission because your opponents are too busy fighting each other to fight you. There are some interesting restrictions on capturing things as well.

There are a few strange behaviours that could probably be explained with fluff. If you kill a commander it becomes impossible to use their technology because your Dominatrix are no longer able to capture their structures. So if you want a factory you have to capture the factory then kill the commander. This makes assimilation harder than sniping which is good.

Incorrect, upon killing the commander you get the factory tech unlocked for yourself to build.

Dominatrix is cool, but ravager is much more useful here. You literally don't need other unit types except maybe cons and some AA.

I sniped the lombard commander with sunburst while ravagers took the southern dude. Assassinations are cool. :)

P.S. Loved the briefing track. Non-silent briefings yay!

I think this mission would be more exciting if the starting fac was more capable of comsniping, like cloakies. Then you wouldn't have to wreck halve of the base before killing the com.

You don't have to wreck anything.
1) Put ravager on repeat.
2) Expand with cons and commander, make some LLT.
3) When 10 Ravager ready, go around DDM and into commander.
4) Now you have a new base. While you were whacking previous commander, you made 10 more ravagers.
5) Take 15 Ravagers, and bash next commander.
6) ... Take 30 Ravagers and bash next commander.
7) GG.

...implying you can find (and then subsequently actually kill) the (then fleeing) commander inside the base full of stardusts, faradays and unspotted doomsdays (among tons of stuff blocking the way for your ravagers).

Was just relating my experiences. Finding commander posed no issue for me, i just went for the factory and the guy was always near.

I was again reminded that this is my fav mission in the whole campaign.

Spam ravager all day not a care in the world.

at some point I randomly received a "fuck you" pop-up. Turns out the lombard commander cakewalked into enemy base and died. His stuff got allied to myself.
Bulgar DDM is initially powered by windgens only so it's fairly random whether it actually works (CAI makes some proper E fairly quickly though).
northern Lombard DDM is unconnected to the grid.
