Fountains of Death 4
In pre-approval testing I think I did it a little faster... :)
Edit: 2nd time I got the timing right...
Think i found an faster way =)

Indeed - and I'll have to cede those 2 seconds to a master. :)
He he , i have my moments now and then :P
Hm, somehow I can only get 1:19. How do you do it faster?
He "has his moments now and then." :D
Hint: where do you put the collector to take advantages of the desired upgrades?
Fun to squeeze those extra seconds off.
Hm, I tried that, but that didn't help — whether I build it as close as possible (so that it starts building as soon as possible) or as far away as possible (to minimise the distance I need to travel to the left), I still can't get better than 1:19. Any more hints?
Oh looks like i did make an really nice score =)
I was sure someone would find an faster way =P
and it still might be someone does =)
I build 1 collector to the left of the upgrades so i get them all when i have moved the city to build it .
Then i moved it again and used relays ;)
Yep, that's my solution too. The collector, I think, needs to be as far to the left as possible of the upgrades and Odin moved as far left as it can while retaining the link to the collector. Build relays backwards from the totem using as few as possible. That's it.
Yes thats what i did , guess i had my moment when i managed it in my first try =)
Added an pic of how i did it ,
and i moved the city 1 step away from the closest Relay .

You really only need 4 upgrades. The energy upgrades and the move speed upgrades.
That means you can move the collector further down and the city can power it while flying over it. Don't know if that ultimately speeds it up any.
Well i took all the upgrades , and it does'nt seems that anyone have found an faster way yet =P
Might be that the Collector gets charged/build faster this way ,
so it has'nt done any harm that i got all the upgrades =)

Apparently not! :)
