Teleport map is terrible.
I have to say, the campaign is all over the place, with a couple fun maps and then a hair-pulling scenario like the syndicate teleport-map. Basically if you havem't played it, it's tons of islands with multiple teleporters that go every which way. It's absolutely impossible to keep straight in your head, and halfway through the map the teleport destinations all change(!). The victory condition is just achieve one of the victory conditions normally, after jumping through storyline hoops, so there's not even a way to storytell your way out of this hell. So unenjoyable I felt it deserved a post here. Who's doing level design for these maps?

Actually this map is good for navy except others. And teleports is needed so AIs wont attack each others in unpredictable ways. You can block teleport with single unit.

It was definitely a jarring experience for me as well. Extremely grindy. The best way I found to handle it is ignore the teleporters, slowly accumulate a team of 6 heroes, put them on hoverbikes, build wraiths, only curry favor for the automatons so you can get their repair mod for the wraiths, then dash around assassinating heroes and capitals.

You have a huge advantage on that map because so much of the Syndicate lineup hovers. Just make friends with the natives and use their units to sit on teleporters (enemies can only ever bring single stacks to attack through teleporters, and a few cheap NPC units can hold that off fairly well) and use roving bands of hover units to murder everything without ever endangering yourself.

Just do it a doomsday. This is the fastest option really. This map is interesting, but unfortunately it will take a long time. Probably one of the worst because of it.
Another Amazon mission. Cool how you stop the terraformation on volcanic ...
dissatisfaction will kill you

good that they are autosave

Amazon got acadian terraforming tech so it should be easy.

Yeah. I hated that map. Just finally finished it today. Took forever.
