So here we have a Cybran v Aeon game on Theta Passage. I grab the early advantage, I'd say, by getting middle, but he get the corner to start with and continually tries to flank me with mixed success. What ensues turns out to be a pretty decent game (or at least it felt like it was) even though the ending lacks the finality of a climax that you may desire Wouldn't mind a review as to get pointers on how to improve my game here as Cybran...Auroras are still giving me fits, it seems

Game length:26:53 --------------------------------------------
Game Summary: A quite interesting game with varierty of tactics used! Both players start out with a similar build order, and soon after Ryath goes and takes the top plateau with his commander and fortifies it with point defences. While Ryath is securing the top, TimmyFred has taken the middle and starts pushing out with mantis. After the initail fight cools a new element of war is included - aerial warfare enters the fight with both players utilizing bombers - Ryath goes for economy as Timmy tries to finish of Ryath's commander, which barely escapes! After amassing a good force of auroras Ryath pushes to the top but gets repelled by Timmy's mantis and bombers, giving him the advantage.. But everything is still open!

Use of 'move' commands at the beginning, though you need to fine tune it a bit, and the factory could be made sooner. For example, you do not need a third pgen, especially with all that walking, two is enough! Good that you include a scout with your hunters - running blind does no good unless you get lucky, and you always wont get. Pushing to middle while he was away at the top was nice! Artillery against his pd's at the top - good, wasting mantis against those pd's would've been ineffective. Reclaiming things in the middle for the mass & walling pd's, good. Capturing the mexes at the top plateau. Reclaiming the wreckage at the top was good - if you see wreckage anywhere, it isn't bad idea at all to set an engineer with patrol there! You should upgrade your mexes!
Ryath
Lots of engineers, nice! Good use securing the top with your commander Bombers behind his frontlines were good, too bad he had enough energy supply to survive the loss of several pgens - was a good idea to target them anyway. Good pushing with Obvilions. You had a lot of excess mass all the way through. Build factory or two to use that, wasted mass is BAD! Upgraded to tier 2 radar, which sent you to negative in energy. Too few factories!
