i just go ham and pool my resource into one swarm and destroy everything eventualty to leverage advantage. that last level had to use the teleportor. i got the 2 space stations and the six planets they sent boarding teams into the rotating defense turrets. then would have to break off and reclaim my planets sometimes losing all progress in the mean time but those guys on the other end got one of the defense turrets and that helped out a bunch, distracted the black away from me for a while. there i made progress on the turrets sending 40 at each one as it past the once most were down or neutralized i could send those on the turrets to do some damage. it sucks on the last level for restarting the black are there from the beginning so it makes it harder.
seems too unbalanced towards the ai in the first levels at least sent 40 to attack 20 on enemy planet all die still 10 left they send 20 against my 20 on my planet all die and this is on easy. i get having a home world bonus but seems to unbalanced on the enemy side also the switching of ownership takes too long slow everything down to match it or speed it up. i've played a better version of this game based on cells and it splits "race" stats into travel speed, production, and strength and lets you choose one based on a combination of the 3 so each has trade offs. like the graphics but need some work. also in the other game it defaulted into sending 1/2 each time and you can group up to 7 or 8 source together.
