Perimeter’s terraforming tactics

PC

Codemasters have recently released details of the use of terraforming tactics in their RTS game Perimeter. What is this you ask? Here is the general idea of these tactics.

Rather than harvesting a resource from a particular location on a game map, in Perimeter energy can be extracted from anywhere on the map. The player who controls the most landscape controls the most energy. Energy is used to expand bases, transform units, increase territory and limit opponent’s options.

In order to win the player has to terraform the land quickly enough to grab energy and territory before opponents do, so terraforming low-level hills or craters in preparation for collecting energy is a prime objective.

Interesting concept, basically the more land you hold the more power you have. Any way check out these screenshots.
