Just a heads up. you only get 2 turrets at the start (you can unlock said turrets to build more if they die using 2 tech artifacts). you can also unlock 2 bombers.

Very nice map, enjoyed it a lot.

Very easy to mismanage your resources (which is cool) and run out of AC before you reach the end, two bombers on PZs really eat it up!

I tried to make it interesting. A lot of my other maps aren't popular (don't know why, just low ratings).

Figuring out why something is popular is an advanced science that some people devote their entire lives to. If you want to figure it out faster than organic trial and error by releasing lots of different maps, there are many books on the subject.

Forget making 'popular' maps, just make ones you enjoy and no doubt others will too.

If you try to male popular maps you will make end up making rubbish, generic and untimely lame maps! Pastor Healers maps are a great example of 'unpopular' maps (low scoring) and he is possibly the most prolific and talented map maker on here.

Never mind the ratings. Your maps are great, keep em' coming!
