vanilla map with a bertha

Vanilla but a tough start!  Finally survived it, at that point it just takes time.

I wish I had some time to play your maps, had an hour this evening, got wiped out at 26min game time as I overstretched! No save  :'( Rookie error.

Love this though, will be back! Tricky desions at the start, to Bertha or not to Bertha?

"Better" times will surely come again.

This error happens to me all the time. For me it's overconfidence :-)

So I started with a big collector grid, built 4 mortars and then 4 cannon well within that and set about building up reactors as fast as I could without starving the guns. Was holding creeper at bay until when trying to build enough beams to hold off the six-shotter SW at 9 minutes. Do I need a fundamentally different approach or just tweak what I'm doing?

I built a terp and made a small 3 high wall around my base, much easier to defend. The centre could then be nullified for a PZ beam. I flew a cannon around the map cutting off the thin lines of digitalis at the far ends. Then push out one corner at a time. Never got round to finsihing the map but the start is a lot of fun.

Yeah, you have to sacrifice the friendly emitter for a PZ pretty early.
