Hold the fort in the tundra while a storm rages overhead. Reactors don't work here so energy will be at a premium. Build up power plants to make up for the deficit.

Great artwork, I immediately started to shiver once the map started!
Great story and nice challenge!

Was the obviously starting position meant as a trick? However, I prefered to start the second run in the NW, I was a little surprised that the creeper crept slowly over the border ;)

Greetings from The (cosy warm) Shire!

Thanks for the feedback! This was my second map, and my first using crpl.

I liked the idea of having more than one possible starting location, especially on a map with access to only one command node. I think it allows for different opening play styles.
