this is a long game...
I've never liked air units apart from the guppy but still really enjoyed this just because it was such a ridiculous challenge!
This level taught me that air units are actually really effective, all you have to do is build 3000 reactors, 40 ore mines, 300 strafers and 50 bombers and then chocks away!!
On a constructive note this really needed a few more easily atainable totems. You slowed the level down but I think this just frustrated the expierience rather than added challenge. Just my personal preference as a speed runner :P
thanks for your constructive criticism. I'm always amazed at how quickly you complete levels.
I'm trying to improve the totem situation by always having 5 grouped on the hills. I feed them with guppies.
Obviously I have to look for another solution
To be fair a time like that on a level like this can be 1-2hrs of actual playing! I must admit I didn't guppy to the far totems but knew this was an option, there was just way too much to focus on! And that's a good thing! Don't worry about taking feedback on board, I just come on here to share my opinions and say thanks but the ebst thing to do is keep making maps you want to see, I am loving them, some will hate them, c'est la vie!

...and that's great. Thx
Wow, you guys are fast.
I only built about 10 strafers and then destroyed half of them once I got 5 on PZ's.
This is definitely one of my favorite long maps, probably because you only have a few mortars and cannons and if you lose them, you can't rebuild them. That makes it a little more like realistic warfare.
This battle was moderately challenging from the start if you play through without pausing, but it's a lot easier once you realize the totems you want to feed are the top ones. Sequential guppies work great for that if you have enough energy to build about 10 of them and keep rebuilding them when they die.
Pretty straightforward and simple, and I guess it only got low reviews because people dislike having to use flying units. I really enjoyed this one!
Thanks for the map!! =)
