All the RTS experience in the world won't help you; in fact, it may actually prove a hindrance as the way things actually operate in Perimeter may be unlike the way you expect things to.
Energy, for instance, is the sole resource in Perimeter, and it's pulled up from the ground via energy collectors that must be placed on perfectly flat ground.
Energy management in Perimeter is not a matter of, "How much do I have and what should I spend it on?" but, "What's the collection (or drain rate) of my energy based on my current activities?" If you spend energy faster than you're generating it, you begin to draw from your reserves.

 Circumference/Perimeter of an Ellipse: Formula(s) - Numericana
New Approximation for [the] Perimeter of an Ellipse by David W. Cantrell.
An exact expression of the perimeter P of an ellipse was first published in 1742, by Colin Maclaurin (1698-1746).
This formula for the perimeter of an ellipse converges slightly faster than Maclaurin's asymmetrical expansion in terms of powers of e [with the major radius factored out] but it's much worse than the symmetrical Gauss-Kummer expression [with the sum of the radii factored out].

This is actually a very important part of the game because energy is your base's lifeblood and the bad guys know this and will try to stop you from adding to your energy supply.
While the harvesting of energy (the lone resource in the game) is a very cool feature, the niftiest part of Perimeter is the way in which the military units are handled.
Your units are actually robots that can transform into a myriad of different units with the click of your mouse (and the required energy).

A few hours into Perimeter and we were about to write the game off as a poor attempt at real-time strategy by a developer that mistakenly believes that the word “innovative” is a synonym for “incomprehensibly bizarre.” Stick with the game long enough and suddenly everything just clicks.
Perimeter’s campaign consists of a bunch of missions tied together by a story that makes no sense.
Perimeter isn’t for everyone, but anyone who enjoys a real-time strategy romp ought to give it a try.
