Had a whole bunch of fun starting in the top right. No idea if it is advantageous but a nice challenge, achieved it on the 5th go! 8 mins game time to collect the pick up though!

No wonder my time is so bad compared to the others.

The first storm was a very close thing, the last spores were well over my base before they were shot down.  I had some more beams before the next one, it was just pushing the creep back at that point.

Good hint 4 me :-)

Nice time! That top spot is just out of reach for me, and I tried!

One thing I have not got the hang of in the totem/pyramid maps is energy management. I always seem to be in the red but at a point seem to build like i'm in the green. Do you know, how does the CN prioritise packets for building or supplying the pyramids?

[rennervate]

IMHO

it depends on how the map designer configures the pyramids. Here it is probably about two or three to one

I could use a bit of help.

I took what I'm sure it not the intended path.  Start point, I put mortars in my base sufficient to keep the creep from getting up to me but far enough inside they wouldn't pop bugs.  I then tried pushing north, realized it didn't work, pushed west.  Terped up firing platforms for my cannons to keep the digitalis back and allow me to place a nullifier right next to the step in the terrain.  There are fewer bugs when you attack at the edge of the digitalis.  I then went along the digitalis and just barely survived the spore storm.

Can't imagine the strategies some of you are using.  I did realize I was falling into my usual trap of not being aggressive enough and fared far better, but still not to your realm.

Absolutely ridiculous.  Worked first time.  20% of my time was in grabbing the bertha.

I consider it a slight bit cheaty, though--you can put a collector on top of that pyramid but none of the others despite them looking the same.

[D0m0nik]

I've just noticed the collector position. Doh!

And with a better idea of exactly where the resistance is I was able to shave 10% off my time--but still 20% of it was grabbing that Bertha.
