Thought I'd post this 5v5 game since it's the first time I've played Advent Loyalists while managing to pretty much get all the tools in their kit out. Even features some Deliverance Engine happy vibes...
I'm in the eco slot and manage to get a pretty long spread of empire and use the Evangelization Nodes on Starbases to really push the culture into enemy territory. Coward's submission is actually decent in this situation as any enemy fleets trying to push all the way through your planets will have to take each, even little asteroids and moons, one at a time or risk losing ships with each jump.
Guardian repulse is just evil at knocking and resetting ships trying to phase jump from gravity wells...
The game kind of drags out as a certain person playing Vasari Loyalists refuses to leave and even the sunshine and rainbows of the Unity get a little cloudy for a while.
Couple mistakes I made were just missing a kill on the Vasari Titan mid-late game as it is raiding in our territory. It had like 180 health and 2 side by side phase lanes to exit on and I picked the wrong one to chase it. You can see which phase lane ships exit on if you are zoomed at the right level (not too far and not too close) but I didn't catch which one in time and it escaped. Second mistake was losing my own Titan in my first HW assault. Even with lots of health and shield upgrades and all of the culture phase missile block bonuses, the Vasari bomber cloud still really brings the pain.
