so, this map is easier than the others? it was pretty effortless to establish a base and now I have a giant mopping up to do. This may take me a week.
May I drop a very subtle hint: Inhibitor 8)
Yeah, a little puzzling until I realized the emitters aren't symmetric, but nothing like his usual fiendish ones.

Many thanks for the subtle hint and your extremely constructive criticism, which directly offers a solution.
:D

nice long fight! this map reminded me of gardening
Inhibitor? :o
no inhibitor in my maps. martin should do the gardening until the end

Inhibitor? :o
the unit that if killed, (most of the times) causes instant victory. Prevents giant mopping up in maps where establishing a foothold is the key problem.
I don't want to be sounding as if I am criticising Alex's maps too much, as they are very nice and he is putting a lot effort into them.
Yep, his maps are great even if I can't beat all of them ;D. I was being a bit goofy. I know what an inhibitor is, I just can't find one on the map. I've tried passing a nullifier over the map but have yet to find a hidden inhibitor.
ahhh, no, what I meant is that we should kidnap Alex and force him to build an inhibitor in his next map.
Or else
;D ;D ;D

...you know my large caliber revolver
The one you liked on the photo?
yes - scared?
Excellent map thank-you. I finally managed to finish one of your maps! An epic fight and an easy ten.
thx & thx 4 playing the map
Hmm... the mop-up is indeed somewhat lengthy, but it's not entirely trivial unless you know the relevant tricks already.
So maybe not challenging to experienced players, but a good training course for medium players.
