This map is hard. It has a different mechanic from the usual generate energy, increase firepower, win sort of game.
It has taken me several attempts and I still don't have a viable strategy. I have ideas though!
Reactors at 650 and no collectors. Mean.

This looks a very interesting map, though I couldn't figure it out how to solve it yet ...

I'm the author--someone beat my score by SO MUCH, I have no idea how!  Now I have to try it again.

thanks for this map, it made me think differently... however, I still don't know how warren managed to finish this in less than 3 minutes  :o

Sacrifice? who gives away free energy?

I could only see one way to win this map. Hard and fast before the free energy gives out. The first time, I built too many weapons and ran out just before the first nullifiers were built. I would say: 33% to construction, 66% to ammo.
