This map ended up kind of grindy and very long on Hard difficulty, so be warned about that.

If you just want a relaxing time without worrying about threats at all, and just build up your units/AC in peace, try out the new Peaceful difficulty mode :)

Don't forget to use the Recycler to create Redon/Bluite/Greenar for your stuff. Most units can be sent to the Recycler to be turned into scrap that you can use to make other things.

Good luck

Would like the thing that attracts Creeper (a sun?) to orbit faster, but the rest was pretty fun! Until I opened a Titan box without saving and died, but that's my fault :(

Also I think there should be some Cannons/Mortars, to stall the Creeper, already built at the start. I think this as sometimes there isn't enough defence to cover 4 sides of Crimson Creeper entering the gaps ( Obviously changes due to luck ), but maybe you wanted that, idk.

Might use the Sun thingy in my CW3 Import series, and maybe another level?

Sorry about that! But you live and you learn, I hope there have been ample warnings about it :)

Early on you want to focus on building Friend boxes for a while to build up a starting army, the initial ERN can be used for energy production to support opening those until they're too expensive. That is normally designed to give you a starting army. Also I don't actually expect you to cover the gaps at all, especially with weapons that aren't shields; there's a reason you got a blue wall all around :) You'll find that just staying in it is quite survivable until you're able to move out.
