you need to build up a defence before the creeper brach the temple walls
Really hard level, I can't get up an bertha army in time (and other weapons are ineffective due to the terrain, except sprayers which are always 100% effective)
Dude, this may be my favorite map of yours yet! It's very balanced - difficult, yet solvable without too much micromanaging.
I like that there are several approaches... Cornucanis' approach probably involved flying a CN around, and while I like that idea in some cases it often gives me flashbacks of how I came to this planet to begin with. So I'm not a big fan of the Unidentified Flying Command Node. I'm paranoid that someone will try to shoot it down.
But for those struggling with this, maybe try attacking from just one side. Having bases scattered all over the map can be stressful.
Hint:
Spoiler
Mortars + sprayers are an excellent combination
bonus hint:
Spoiler
You will need a lot of power to supply a row full of mortars
Thanks for this excellent map! ;D ;D ;D

Sorry to hear of your past experiences, but on the bright side at least you found a way to break out of your ensuing captivity. I'm sure that was quite an adventure. And yes, my approach on this map was quite similar to your description. It was one of those where I could see it should just barely be possible, so I decided I couldn't rest until I achieved it. It was a really fun challenge on a great map. Almost as challenging as finding a way to break out of a top secret compound in the New Mexico desert.

Kudos, m8! You definitely have an edge over me... Like you, I could see it should just barely be possible, but I decided I couldn't rest until I ordered a pizza and watched Independence Day. ;D
BTW, pizza is sooo much better than malkpfahtinni (kinda like flying squid creatures... tastes like chicken but really rubbery) ;)
