I'm stuck. Taking out the two enemy subs targeting the officer is easy. But im caught up on how to eliminate the other two subs. Any hints?

Sure Meredith, go ahead.

Hi Sharkdad, there is 1 specialist with a higher combat priority than the Elder. Get that one on your first hire.
Send your Queen along with that first hire to Donatu, and at some point you'll have to make another hire that will help there. I'm keeping that last bit vague on purpose. :-) At least you'll be confident about another part of the solution now.

I got it thanks. I had to mess with the timing in order to get it all to work. Thanks

Is it weird that I found this one of the easiest of all intermediate and advanced puzzles? Alot of the other ones I've taken like at least ten minutes on and hit restart at least five times but this one just came to me instantly. Maybe all the their ones have prepared me for it.

Could someone please send me a private message with the solution to this puzzle?
I solved the others on my own but fail at this one.
I am able to kill both subs on the left by only using the pirate, bomb the first on the right (while destroying the outpost on that move) and move my queen there in time but whatever specialist I chose then, it's not enough to defend against the elder ship. :(

Edit: Thanks to the kind people at this board I finally got it. :)
Can't believe I was so close at a few attempts but missed one important thing every single time. This game is so simple and really deep at the same time.
Absolutely love it! :)
