Fairly simple map, enjoy!
Not sure if there's a trick to this or not, but it was really fun up until I had to sit there (which I'm still doing as I write this) and watch the center slowly drain. I'll be the first to admit that there's strategies I don't know, but I can't figure out any way to make this go faster in order to better my score.
Edit: Yeah, I'm going to have to thumbs down this one. It's a fun map up until the end, but looking at the scores, it seems that everyone else has the same problem (bunch of identical scores). And if the times are right, I have another 5 minutes to have to stare at this map to finish it. It's simply no fun having to sit and watch a map complete itself. Nice ideas in it, though, enjoyed the first 6-7 minutes of game play.
Yes you have to sit and wait.
No trick, I really debated about making an AC point to pump in to the middle area, then decided to lower it from half a billion creep to a lesser amount. My original test time was about three hours ;D Thanks for your comments I will keep them in mind for the next map.
Pumping Station is up! Try it....no waiting there!
Thirteen minutes of sitting waiting for the sealed creeper chamber to drain = automatic thumbs down.
