probably the time it takes dude... i will have a crack at it on the weekend, but a map like this will take a while to work out a good strategy! 8)

Not hard? I'm not seeing how to survive the start. I could just barely manage to control the starting box--but not if I grab the beam at the start.

Spoiler
start bottom centre, built 7 collectors, 2 mortars (left and right), place them well
i also could post some screenshots if wanted
some hints: SPOILER
I have tried everything to get this map started but all the same result, death by creeper. Lol! Obviously there is little margin for error. Great looking map just makes it all the worse.

Exactly my first try--worked fine until the first spore came online and I didn't have beams to counter it. Every attempt to get the beams has lead to failure.

take the beam-pickup withsupport from the sprayer. u see the solution in my screenshots
Yep I see the solution but on my PC at least I cannot even build the mortars as they are overwhelmed by creeper so fast. No matter thanks for your help as always.

you can play while paused at a frame by frame rate by pressing "n".
if you press and hold "n" you can get a sort of 0.5 speed that instantly stops when you let go of "n".
but this map is pretty unforgiving, so giving up and coming back to it another time is a legit strategy too! ;) 8)
Wow.
Yet another fantastic map, dude! I think it took me 3 or 4 tries to get the right starting combination but once you get the first emitter down, it's pretty smooth sailing from there.
But it's never boring, which is impressive. Even the final push isn't a cakewalk because the hop to the Inhibitor island - while not overly difficult - requires a bit of finesse and strategy.
And all the pick-ups are pretty much in the path that the player would be going anyway so there's not a lot of ridiculous busywork involved.
Great job putting this together, and I'm not sure how much Tek helped but he's always a great resource too.
Thanks for the awesome map!! =)
