I read the thread on level 18 and instead of performing thread necromancy (as that sometimes doesn't bring enough attention to the issue) I decided to start a new thread to re-address the issue.
The AI seems to have once again started building defense trees from the get go making it impossible to capture the first asteroid. Your entire force (being weak around the gills to start with) are either completely obliterated or are completely consumed trying to take over the asteroid. I've tried different timings and successfully had taken over the asteroid by sheer luck. Of course when this happens, A minute later before I am able to recuperate any kind of defense/attack force, I am attacked by an army of 50+ Max stats OR all remaining colors will attack me full forced.
I have already:
1. checked for updates
2. tried waiting for message for the "okay" to flee
3. Tried all forms of timings before the message.
4. Waited for the appropriate time to attack other asteroids.
5. Planted defense trees WITH two laser Mines.
All off these have ended in failure until ONE miraculous time where the AI decided to completely self destruct at the get go (by flinging themselves at each other), finally allowing me to complete the level.
I'm not saying it's always IMPOSSIBLE, I'm just saying for a game that's based on strategy there should be a slim chance of winning each time at least. I know it's not the intention, but a complete shutdown almost zero chance of winning by random draw is very discouraging.
