Warning: Due to the location of Odin City partially off the map, if the creeper overflows on the left side, it will destroy Odin City.

See this thread (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=3176.0) for more details.

This is an example:

I'd love to see how the fast guys do this. Any hints? I can't best 23 minutes. :(

If it's not possible you can use the pre-moving city bug. ;)

Replied here, I'll guess you'd defended the left side too - http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=3176.15

Not a 'fast guy' but managed 14 minutes using that strategy.

Edit - just played again with the same strategy, now I am a fast guy  ;D

Meh, I saw the other post first and responded there.

I guess there's a way you prevent the wraparound creeper then?

Booyah!  Not anymore!  :D  

PS. Different strategy.  With careful planning, more use of the Pause button and so on I might be able to shave more time off.

Yeah, moved the city.  Loss of one collector, but worth it.
