Though some of the missions have been pretty tough (CNex-3 most of all), I've had a blast getting here. Once I finish this and the second Assembly mission, all I'll have left is the final campaign mission. I think if I had a better handle on that this whole mission would be easier. It's kinda revealing my weakness on the strategic map, because I'm not very good at actually optimising cities' output. I can barely even find other AIs, let alone expand my empire everything takes FOREVER because of all the water.I've restarted it once and I'm tempted to do so again. It's a game of wits and I'm so bad at it, lol. There are like 7 AI factions at play, though you do start with all espionage research unlocked.

Chains of islands are connected via teleporters, and it's the first large map I've encountered. It's an archipelago map with limited land available.
