That was cool!
Using bases as stepping stones where you move your minions as you progress further into the map, and having the resource gathering be implemented as an active and kind of "on demand" activity rather than the usual passive style is a neat and unique twist to a strategy game.
Maybe having the bases slowly regenerate minions even when out of energy could be somehow balanced to prevent the player from hard locking the game by running out of energy, but in a way where they can't still just steamroll the opponents through just having a superior number of bases.
And I do agree that having a fixed camera where you can always see the whole map at once would make it more fun and smooth to play. Maybe combined with a fog of war where you can only see the area around your bases to prevent having a perfect situational awareness at all times.
