Unfortunately, it seems not possible at the moment. I tested this by modding the starting bases and colonies to have 40 troops each, and since when attacking invaders always use all their troops it seemed like a good test. During the first invasion mission, our side only had 24 troops attacking, and the defenders didn't have significantly more people.

So basically, the max amount of troops you can use looks like 24. I also didn't find any options to increase the troop cap, so I'm guessing battles against the other starting factions are intended to never be more than 20 versus 20.

Ground battles can get moderately large. It starts off with 20 vs 20, with the enemy getting reinforcements as buildings are destroyed and turrets firing into the crowd of attackers. It's enough to look and feel big, without actually being overwhelming. As the game progrsses the defenders get new defensive technologies like fliers and mechs, and increasing the number of defenders present.

So, ground battles are big but not huge.

I'm actually pretty glad you did this! I mean, I've already gotten 100%, but if I ever wanted to run through it again and try to get a better 100% time, it's nice to know that there's a map availible. Also, it is a bit of a shame that there isn't a wiki. :/

You need the final key to escape, but apart from that it's mostly a red herring.

The doors that only require the last key can be entered through an alternate route. Basically, you've got to explore around for a hidden passage.

You know, at first I was turned off by the difficulty, but after I steeled myself and tried to get better I found I really enjoyed this game! Finally beat it at 9:37:07 with 100% of the items found, and I'm seriously considering going back and trying to speed run the game. So, thanks for the awesome game, and I'm actually really glad it was a difficult as it was; that feeling of satisfaction coming from being able to breeze through areas that used to give me trouble is great.
