Scripts, slipemitter image and my end screenshot attached.
Spoiler
Slipemitters seed digitalis, so put digitalis on these when these emit creeper and connect totems.
Then use fields to flip all flipemitters. And put emitters to powerzones.
If I understand code correctly, slipemitters just produce creeper on set intervals.
I felt that it's not just easy, it's almost self-wining.
I initially thought that slipemitters move creeper around, from one point to another, so central structures have some connections and that would make it a battlefield where I concentrate creeper on some islands to attack another islands through slipemitters. I would like the idea, though.
Good work trying to revitalize PAC. After yum switched to PF, it's hard for me to get PAC fix :P
UPD1: why do you use SetCreeper instead of AddCreeper for custom emitters?
Slipemitters change what these emit based on flipemitter state. So these emit creeper or AC, depending flipemitter emit.
Every flipemitter is connected to four slipemitters in other islands , one to each direction.
SetCreeper gives more control how deep creeper I want. But maybe I could use bigger amounts and intervals in it.

Aha, now I understand! I misjudged how far you spawn slipmitters from master flipmitter and didn't look through states with enough scrutiny. My bad, I apologize.
Interesting idea about limiting creeper this way for smaller map. Didn't think of it.
Thanks for the answers and keep up your good work.
