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.

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.
