Hi AstraNine... It took me weeks to figure out how to move your DMD map to projects... then another week to learn not to play the EDIT version... Yep the EDIT button on the LHS and the PLAY button on the RHS in the Projects tables means just what they say...  After all those silly mistakes... it then took yet another few days to stop it from being way toooooo easy...   Enjoy...

With 83 downloads and only 27 successful to date - Perhaps some players may find a hint or two of use... I sure did...
Recommend playing the map first... and then only looking at as few spoilers as needed... 

Spoiler

Map Time is of the essence - Layout your syphons, collectors, relays, Forge, with multiple reactors and Berthas around your Command node locations and use the  O and C buttons to close everything before starting.

[close]

Spoiler

Start one energy Syphon per Command Unit first - once the first 3 syphons are energized - start all the syphons and the collectors & relays & Forge

[close]

Spoiler

Build critical infrastructure like the Forge and a +handful of Berthas ASAP along with the initial fighting units -

[close]

Spoiler

Once the forge is running... improve energy and building speed... and get serious about building all the rest of those reactors needed for the immense amount of energy to build loads of Berthas - Suggest using the V button so the early game single shot berthas can be individually and carefully targeted and fired.

[close]

Spoiler

By 3-4 minutes - energy production should allow building the XXXX beams that will be needed, soon!

[close]

Spoiler

As things settle down... build all the strafers and bombers...to help the Berthas and the Nullifier for the final assault...

[close]

A last spoiler anyone who really, really, needs help...

Spoiler

I am too old and slow now for fighting in multiple directions while building and moving huge numbers of everything - So old and slow fogies like me must use P (pause) a lot - I prefer to tap the N key for even better 1/30th of a game second control
