How do you not get overwhelmed with so little energy, i dont know how to play without enough energy, please help thanks.
There is just enough power to win the map. (with no reactor on PZ but most of forge uprgades)
Key is time.
@ 10 min you have to build ALL reactors and base defence.(keep 4 canon and 1 mortar for offensive actions, use sprayer to protect wall)
@ 20 min get to berta and build on PZ.(BEFORE 20min is best)
@ 30 min kill one of the 4 twin emitters.
You are not supposed to be able to survive after 30min if you didn't destroyed one of the 4 twins.
PS: order twins trigger: NO@ 20min, NE@30min, SE@40min, SO@ 50min
How do you defend such a huge castle in 10 minutes, when things are so slow with no energy? thanks. in red

Spoiler
Drop your CN near the energy node and build a siphon on it first. Now you're not starved for energy. You have some time before you have to deal with creeper or spores, use that time to build a collector network and crank out most of the reactors. By the time the energy node runs out you should have a healthy energy supply. By 3-5 minutes in, you can have most of the reactors and half your mortars and pulse cannons built. Don't over-use the mortars right away. Build, but disarm them so they don't waste energy firing at shallow creeper.
Don't become too focused on the area you're attacking. Keep scanning the entire map, especially the perimeter of the castle, and make sure you're not about to be overwhelmed somewhere.
Fun map. Had to keep an eye on everything.
