Based on AlexX's map #10102. All credit to AlexX for a cool map. All blame to me for making it more evil. I doubled the number of CN's, made snipers only 1/3 of original cost so it's easier to make a safe pool to start from. Multiple starting possibilities. Multiple blasters too: Three times as many as you need! Good luck!
sorry dude, but this map sucks. You have around 30-40 seconds to establish something not even called a base before digitalis overwhelms everything, can't contain that amount with only 3 blasters.
What a great map! I needed a few restarts. Then I noticed

there weren't many creeper lying around in the north. I built four snipers... lots of flying around... lots of shooting... until the chain reaction finally happened... then there was more than enough ac...
Thank you so much for making my map so much better... even if it took much longer.

Yeah, I tried giving strong hints, but that doesn't always work. Build 4 snipers and make a "pool" of AC up north. You'll need to land your snipers in creeper several times so be careful not to lose them. And just in case it doesn't go without saying, you'll need to land both CN's up north too. One at a time or both at once - it's up to you.
Hope that helps!

Heh heh, yeah that's the way I played the map the first time - saw that route and figured I'd try it. Always love your maps, so thanks for the compliment!

Yeah, I must confess I'm just dumb, lol. Sorry for the rant, this map is indeed pretty easy when played correctly.
Lol, no worries m8. Been there, done that too. Really glad you gave it a second look - it's not what we know but what we can learn that ultimately matters! Cheers =)
