Well done. Great first map!

It's a little exhausting. Perhaps too long/too big.

Spoiler

I liked how (with timing perfected) I could shield around the first emitter. Not tight, but at least cut it off while I finished building. The delay on the emitter and drone doorway was just enough to establish a defense, although there weren't any exploits or workaround to figure out.
I appreciated how you marked most of the soil that contained creeper with the 10point terrain blocks, however I was left searching for remaining creeper at the end because it was hidden in random places. It was a little frustrating. Otherwise great work!

To search for scattered creeper in terrain, use your 'map' on the right side of the game. It shows (in a confusing way sense you can't tell what level the creeper is on) where the creeper is. For me, I line up the top or bottom of the bar with the creeper spot on the radar so I know exactly what level it's on.

One of the early design features of scroll bars (now lost in the mists of time and only in the memory of fogeys like me) is that the center of the scroll bar can be used to locate your position in a long list. If you have the center of your scroll bar along the creeper map, then you are directly opposite the creeper in the real map.  Capice?

Since I found this not too long ago, I thought I'd dig it up again and quote it, since it seems appropriate:

I doubt we're going to see any enhancements for CW2.

However a few things might make your life easier.

1. You are aware that pressing the "R" (Reveal) key hides terrain so that you can see if there is any entombed creeper in terrain?

2. Hold down the "X" key and click on a number of buildings to quickly destroy them. (Just as fast as to select multiple buildings).

Pause the game, the press 'R', this will hide all terrain blocks, so you can see where the creeper is hiding.

WOW! Nice and easy!!!!  :)  Thank You!
