Legends say that the whole world is built upon the back of a giant turtle... As always a special thanks to BRNK for reminding me just how much fun the user created maps can be.

So EVIL!  :o

Damn flat-earthers everywhere :P
I tried hard to not use singularity, but there was lacking a single tile in top right corner to put 1 more nullifier.

So EVIL!  :o

Thank you...I try.

Evil, but cute! Thanks!  :)

See the turtle of enormous girth! On his shell he holds the Earth.

the map was fun so far, but it seems that I can't finish it - how do I nullify the big node at the top-right corner? Do I need the Berta?

[BilboGCL]

That was really a nice map - I enjoyed it a lot!

And kikai - I used the singularity in the end, combined with PZ-nullifiers

there seems to be no place where i can place a nullifier - I'm quite lost  :-[

[BilboGCL]

When you are in the top right corner, you must nullify as many as possible normal emitters, at least one PZ allows you to place a nullifier with the inhibitor incuded - you are aware that PZs enlarge the radius of nullifier damage?

The message gives the hint in case you didn't figure it out on your own.

Spoiler

"Powerstall" means to put a siphon on the energy cell to clear it out. You need to deactivate all of your other energy sources and let your reserves run dry. Then the siphon will pull all the energy out, clearing the PZ for your nullifier.
Don't forget to turn all your energy back on when the siphon is complete.

To select all of one type of unit, (such as reactors), click one of them and then press the letter o.

Build the syphon and then delete the resource is a lot easier

:o I don't think I have ever clicked a siphon after it was build, so never noticed that button. Still, when going for killshot on inhibitor, I couldnt get siphon to build without singularity cannon.

Couldn't save that bertha sitting in creeper and berthas are disabled. But on my next attempt, best to rush the inhibitor when my weapons can damage the weaker creeper before it becomes too strong. Nice that energy making stuff cost 1 but why relay got a higher cost?

Another comment, thanks for using unique map terrain colors instead of the default ones provided by the game that most map makers use.
