The trick to this map is to wait until the spore towers have almost finished building and then target the Sleeper strafers with all the AC you've managed to store up. Once they're destroyed, the building in the middle will leave behind a blueprint for two Thors - which you will desperately need once the massive creeper wave hits.
Once you build the two Thors, you can wipe out the creeper wave and take down the mother ship with waves of the new sniper-strafer that's only available to build for a few minutes after the second carrier lands. To get to the carrier you'll need to use a guppy, two relays, and a repair ship equipped with an ECM module to pass through the shields and then supply energy to the EMP station to activate it. Do NOT activate the IMP station unless you have enough beams to take down all 20 demons.
I have to say, this map could possibly be one of the absolute coolest maps ever not made for one of the coolest strategy games out there.
Thanks for the game!!! =)
