I'm stuck :-o

Spoiler
I'm right at the end, just the 4 bottom middle and the main base thingies left.. can't build/power a nulifier close enough to final base to kill it?

Did you get all relays?

Ok, this map almost forced me to THINK.

Just two questions:
*) How do you come up with these
and
*) How do I click "12" on the rating bar?










To those that are stuck:
Get all the relays you can.
.
.
.
No, not just those. You missed that one down there.
Got it? good. You will need it!
Now, a bit later... figure out how to get unlimited relays. Yes, you can.

Don't be afraid to (temporarily) abandon a location.
Don't be afraid to go back to an abandoned location.
Spoiler

and remember it is possible to power something further than a relay can

yes, I control the whole map, collected everything, have all upgraqdes etc.

Spoiler
just can't power a nullifier close enough to end base to kill it?

EDIT:

lol, did it, I'm an idiot :-o

I'm stuck. I can't figure out how to reach the unlimited relays. I've managed to get to the far right and take out the first emitter. But my supply chain is stuck.

Use a blaster to bridge the gap.

This one was tricky, and it took me an embarressing amount of time to figure out that I could
Spoiler
rebuild the forge on the right island in order to get upgrades again
[close]

It took a lot of trial and error otherwise...

Rebuilding is obviously possible (you did it), but I don't think it's necessary.

Looks like a fun map but too many dead ends. Once you move either Orbital, you can move them back. The only way to obtain the unit cluster containing the Nullifier is to move the orbital. Once you have the nullifier you can't go back to the base in the lower left to destroy the emitters nor can you get close enough to the 3 emitters where the unit cluster is at the beginning.

Yes you can

Thank you for playing, though

in order to collect pick ups you have to have a direct connection to a Command Node (CN). The pick ups that are far away from land, can usually be picked up using a collector on a power zone. Hence, create a power zone, connect it with a collector to a CN and viola. I don't know how much you want me to give away, but what I would like to know - where are your CN's when you are stuck? do you upgrade through forge?

I hope the file attached explains part of the problem. I can't make it more clear, without giving the whole map away.

EDIT: remember to use the collector, not relay, on the powerzone.
