Guppies? I see no guppies in here.
The only fish I see are Red Herrings.


Once you have upgraded energy store a LOT, your CN makes a pretty decent guppy. Slow, but it carries a ton of energy per trip.
Also, cannons & mortars & stuff can fly around, fetching energy from homebase while fighting in foreign territories.

the problem with this map is that you CAN finish it without the guppies.

this map; http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=35729.0 I don't think you can


I simply didn't "proofread" map 9066 well enough.

Marvinitfox - how did you make the final kill?

Neutralizer on PZ, CN (busy leaving that spot) providing the power. Enough packet speed upgrades to complete the zap before the CN is out of range.

I later realized I was supposed to use guppies, landing next to their launchpads, to provide power.
