Desc:
Constant Spores, Increasing Emitters and Limited Space to start. Good Luck.   
Oh, BTW, you'll only have the Prison Guards' weapons until you get through the gate.      
But good news: You hold the Admin building.

This map will lag at the beginning.

A few of you have posted significantly faster times than I envisioned when I made this.  During my play test I shaved about 2 min off my best time but posted a slower time in order to leave some leeway for faster times.  If any of you speed daemons feel particularly generous, would you be so kind as to PM me with your solution and/or tips for play so I can improve my map designs?  Thanks.

It could very well be that this bug is being abused by players that haven't upgraded to the latest version yet. It allowed players to move a fixed Odin City once before the game started, even on top of techs and upgrades (but not onto illegal terrain).

I'm not accusing anyone, because I should study the map better to know if these times could be possible in a legal way, but we've seen this abuse in the past before. Unfortunately the score submittal procedure does not require the latest version to be used (yet), so sadly enough it's still possible to break perfectly fine maps with it.

Well that's unfortunate, but to be expected.  If a bug exists a bug will be used.  I can certainly see how easy this map would be if the city could move.  There's a nice piece of high ground just off the bulk of the totems and moving backwards would be simple.

The problem for me is that I was hoping for a learning experience that would improve my map making skills.

The learning experience could be in this case never to leave such a large piece of terrain open when the city is fixed anyway, although it's sad that you have to take these kind of things into account as a map maker.

The other lesson is that cheaters are losers.... ;)

Pretty easy even without cheats. I didn't even build a weapon.
