Desc:
Featuring a new enemy, the Corrupted Shield! These towers strongly repel anticreeper and damage units inside their range. These specific ones also emit creeper on their own, so keep that in mind.
Added to Corrupted Units list.
Interesting map. The corrupted shields immediately destroy any completed player unit inside its range (the closest if more than one is in range) - and their coverage is temporarily reduced by that hit.
Spoiler
This leads to two potential strategies, both made easier by terraforming a nice flat space on at least one side of the corrupted shield.
1. shop at the kamikazes R us store. (beams are the cheapest mobile unit - be sure to shut off resupply while still building - but won't last if you land in creeper.) Or use pulse cannon for more creeper resistance and self defense capability.
2. Build collectors inside the corrupted shield's coverage area. You'll need really good cover fire to accomplish this. Build your nullifier slightly farther away from the target than the collectors and keep replacing collectors as they are destroyed.
