I thought I'd give it a stab just to see how much I could cut down on your time.  35 Minutes to take complete control of the void and get 6/7 totems... and then that bottom right island is way too hard to take in any reasonable time frame.   Even with 3 other islands with uncapped emitters, 95% of the creeper is still generated on that lower right island, mostly thanks to those stashes that don't consume creeper.  They generate 2000 creeper in 1-2 seconds whenever they're off cooldown, so even with 16 mortars pounding on the island, you can barely make a dent in the creeper.  The island is generating up to 700 creeper/sec between the 3 stashes and the emitter, and I felt like it would take an exceedingly long time so I just quit the map. 

I suppose the strategy probably would have been to give up more of the islands I'd already taken to spread the creeper growth out more, but it just felt frustrating to run into a complete brick wall.
