Easy-to survive, hard to spread!
I was messing around so faster times should come ;)
I saw a little bug in the map, and exploited it. ;D
Oh, stupid mistake. Sorry :(
Difficult, that's about all it is. Otherwise I thought it was boring and plain and lacked any form of originality and it wasn't really fun.
Ignoring the exploit, the most interesting part was finding the optimal size of area to survive the initial rush of creeper (collector/reactor area vs perimeter-to-defend). This took me 3 tries. The mid-game was a relatively uninteresting blaster-advance with the usual issues of reactors, speed, storage. It got interesting again as I approached the super-emitter (had to tighten the collector grid to fit more blasters; tried using mortars to help with firepower). At the very end, I had to resort to sacrificial eroding blasters to get the final 2 totems connected long enough to evacuate Odin City.
Thanks for the map.
