Not sure why the images here aren't resolving for you, but this link should help:

Do the Emitters increase at about the 5 minute mark?
I seem to be holding it back on all continents, but start getting overwhelmed at about 5:30-5:45.
Thanks,

Same to me, DethbyIT, yes they increase a bit.

This mission is completely mad. To reach the last totem on the right corner I needed 3 minutes because it always got overwhelmed by
creepers.

I think the hard task is the beginning. You have to build 1 Blaster on the left upper side to keep the survivers alive and two mortars.
then SLOWLY build up reactors. be very careful.
Hint: Don't try to save the survivors on Hawaii in the beginning, just keep them alive.

I habe to admit I had to start over about 13 times  :o

Great job! Good tips too, that is the way to do it. ;)

They do, here is what I put in the starting text of the map. ::)
Emitter Increases:
3 minutes: The bottom right and left most emitters will increase in strength. The survivors will be in even more danger.
4 1/2 minutes: All emitters will increase. Better have saved everyone by now!
5 1/2 minutes: The bottom 4 emitters will increase, making it more difficult to get to Antartica.

Can't seem to make it work.
I've managed to get all of the survivors (except Hawaii), but then get overrun by Creeper in Siberia.

Interesting game though - I'll monitor to see if anyone else can get it.

Do you mean above Odin City or to the Right of Odin City? I never had a problem above OC. And to keep the right side of OC from overflowing, I keep a blaster there, firing only part of the time.

I now remember reading about the Emitter increases, but have been skipping right through the Intro on subsequent attempts...Oops!

Spoiler

My first weapon is the Africa Mortar that I keep moving from South to North.
Next is the Drone to keep bombing Hawaii.
Next is the OC Blaster - below OC. This does stop the Creeper over there.
Next is the Alaska Blaster. Will that protect the Hawaii survivors all by itself, or do I need to keep flying the Drone?
...
At this point (+/- 5:00) the creeper will overflow either South America or break the England/North America connection.

I think I need to get another Mortar in play somewhere, but not sure of the timing/location.

Thanks.

I think the main problem is that you are sending your first drone to the wrong place. I believe the survivor will be safer longer than you think. To keep the surviors in South America safe, I send my first drone down there, right on the tip, so the African mortar does not get overloaded. And yes, a single blaster will protect the survivor in Hawaii.

Very fun!!! I certainly had to work for this one :D

DethbyIT

Finished...barely.
I kept losing my links to NA and SA, so finally stationed a Blaster near Morroco - which allowed me to finish.

Now to go wash out my eyeballs and get some rest.
