ups...
Fantastic map, the start had a hint of PastorHealer with those bugs and the game play shifted as you progressed, lots of unique challenges along the way. 10/10

...now I'm a little flattered... THX
i played the map 3 times - even I enjoy it
As in a PH map, I restarted a bunch of times with the aim of domainating the bottom area, getting a load of cannons up without popping bugs was the key.
Beautiful! This one I liked a lot! :-)

took me some time... this save was 5 hours in... damn bugs! :D
Wow, that's quite an approach. My plan was cut digitalis straight away but avoidpopping bugs for a while.
D,
That's some serious development in less than two minutes.
Your grid layout is perfect in a heavy bug map. Even if a bunch of Collectors get stunned, the grid (power generation) stays intact.
I gave up on this PH-ish map after a few tries, but might have to go back after seeing your screen grab.
Thanks for the assist!

Can be improved with relays. Next step, reactors on PZs and push out with cannons!

How do you build that lot in less than 2 minutes? I struggle to get 3 towers built in that time. Is there some aspect of the game i'm missing?

Hey
Just for a trial land your CN and pause the game. Lay out all the collectors exactly like I have done. Unpause and let the collectors start to build. As they cost 1 power this will happen quickly. As soon as your power bar at the top hits the middle green mark start building a couple of cannons, if the green bar continues to rise build a couple more. As long as you keep that green bar at half full you will always be building at full speed. If it is red or fully green you are not building at optimal speed, you are either wasting energy (full green energy bar) or grinding to a halt (in the red). Give it a go :)
Blimey I have been playing this game for well over a year and never knew that!. Never even glance at the top bars or ever pause a game. Excellent advice, thanks.
I have been playing the game, or earlier versions for the best part of two decades and still learn new things all the time. There's a lot going on for a seemingly simple game!
