Hints and tips:
Spoiler
You should use strafers and bombers in this map because most of your units are unselectable.
Use terps and bertha only if you must.
Don't build too much units so that you can win PAC mode.
Prioritise fire range, fire rate and energy production updates in forge.
Get at least five totems after you have enough energy.
Don't destroy all creeper in upper side of map to start faster in PAC mode.
Destroy your forge before nullifying Activate PAC core in north.
Info about scripts:
Spoiler
There is some sleeper units and PAC scripts. I had to manually place sleeper and PAC mode images to get it work.
ModeSwitcher.crpl (attached under) is what does most things in map.
Very cool idea and the closest to chess that I think I have seen on here, very nicely done.
WOW! Super original game! 8) 8) 8)
1. Interesting gameplay with non movable weapons.
2. But more important that EVERYBODY can create own SELF-MADE PAC! Super!
I did not like to read explanation and hints and created non-winnable PAC with auto-target Bertha!
You are THE GREAT MAP MAKER! :)
I know I'm late.. but a small hint to make it easier in PAC mode..
Spoiler
Use relays or collectors for upto 3 chess blocks from bottom. For sending energy farther & ultimately nullifying the enemies, use guppies. Then just before nullifying the core, destroy the guppies.
