Gosh darnit, I made a mistake
Spoiler
The apocalypse can be nullified early....
Even with the mistake it makes for a very good challenge to nullify the four corners and clean up all the creeper before nullifying the doomsday device.
I will replay this how intended , I guess a retaining wall, a few berthas and a load of mortars and possibly a nice stock of AC as will help!
I can't even get started... any tips ?
Spoiler
can't power cannons or shields fast enough
can't turp a wall quick enough (close but not quite)
dead every time :-(

you need to build up energy quickly, and access the ore for AC in the first minutes of the map. Fill up your square with AC, terp small walls (3-4 height) in squares around your base (see the 8 points? those are terp wall references)
i cant do this, i just cant get enough energy, i cant beat the big rush, ty

I can't survive the rush at the start, tried wall, tried cannons
I must be missing something ?
(I used to be better than this, but fell 20ft and landed on my head a few months back, still a bit groggy)
what ever you do, don't nullify the node at the center until you are ready. nullify it before the time runs out
ok, but i just cant get ready in the time limit. there is just not enough energy to stop the onslot even from nulification
you have to build really fast. don't let your energy go into the red, or you'll build slower
must have tried about 10 times now, I can't get the wall up before the creep gets me
dropping 3 bases in, 4 collectors then 2 terps
tried a few other things, more collectors, 3 terps, cannons
nothing seams to work for me
I must be missing something ?
the walls only need to be 3 or 4 high, you'll need at least 8 terps
its the very first wall / creeper rush I'm stuck with
trying to do a 1thick lvl2 wall around me to keep the creeper out
but the creeper is always in the center by about 1min 15sec and I'm dead
I can almost wall it out... but there's always a couple of gaps it comes in through
this is how I try to start

the creeper shouldn't start moving until 10 minutes unless you nullify it. also, notice that there's 4 reactors at the squares edge. use those.
does the CRPL code not work for you?
nope... the creep comes at me instantly
maybe it's because I need to update the game ?
yes, that's correct. update the game. there's a lot of coding in that map. well, all my maps
updated, works now :-)
had to buy the game again, formated and lot my old install, so was running a pirate version
went with steam so it auto updates if it ever needs another :-)

As an FYI, Virgil keeps track of all purchases.
Anyone who 'loses' their license can contact him and get another legitimate version.

You don't need to build a wall. Using the 10 minutes to build weapon allow you to reduce the rush to almost nothing.
