Very early game goals

Sources of early game income

 * Each strategic point, once captured, provides an income rate of 1 per second.
 * Each relic, once captured, provides an income rate of 1 per second.
 * Each listening post, once built upon a captured strategic point or relic, provides an income rate of 1 per second.
 * Each critical location, once captured provides an income rate of n per second.

Build Listening Posts on them as fast as you can

 * Each time you get 100 Requisition, you should be ready to build it

Capture the relic when you can

 * This improves your economy as much as a strategic point.
 * As it takes more time and is in an exposed position it is more risky.

Send your commander and first squad to either:

 * Your preferred relic sometimes until it is fully captured with an LP on it
 * Your non-preferred relic if you want to deny it from the enemy or make them pay in blood for it
 * The central critical location
 * The enemy's closer critical location If you want a chance to ambush the capturing unit
 * Somewhere that allows you to defend multiple points in case of an early attack
