"Great game, if only it was finished."

This has sat in my favourites for a long, long time. I love this, even if it is only a beta (yes, IT'S A BETA, EVERYONE).
For those who think it's impossible, I promise you it isn't - even with the 2x power at turn 1500. I've finished this game multiple times with a massive city behind my concrete walls and enormous watchtowers, guarded with chain guns and rocket launchers, staffed by almost a thousand workers and over three thousand soldiers. (Also, when it says there are 2000 more turns, there aren't. There's only another 1500.)
For a few start-up tips, focus on building factories. And then houses as you need them, to fill up your factories with workers. A standard house gives 5 people, a standard factory takes 3 workers. Don't bother with soldiers, until shooting the enemies yourself becomes difficult. Use your pistol until ammo runs out, then switch to the shotgun and stick with that. When the bulldozers appear, you might want to start swapping to your machinegun for them. Anything beyond the jeeps while wipe out your default walls, so when they start appearing, start upgrading your walls.
That's all I can think of for now, but I hope it helps anyone trying out this gem of a game.
