Can't figure out how to get a start.  It takes too much energy to stop everything.

Can't figure out how to get a start.  It takes too much energy to stop everything.

this is one of those energy focused ones... i haven't got a perfect start yet on try 10! ;)

basically i am just experimenting with different amounts of leveling early terrain, see how many CN's i can get down in the first 40 secs...

so far managed 2, which showed some promising paths forwards... but this is a map i will have to keep coming back to, as it is very frustrating! 8)

Wow, Tek is still around! I actually thought this was one of his pyramid maps so I was really excited at first but realized it was something different.

But different isn't bad at all. I really enjoyed the energy challenge in this one. After my first attempt, which was pretty much optimized for the center (I got all 3 CN's down using minimal energy), I realized that wasn't really the best way to go. The second time I got to 14 energy in about 5 minutes which was enough to build a good defense.

Hint: You DO want 3 CN's down, at least as soon as you can. But do you think there's a better way to use that 3rd CN?

Thanks for this excellent test! Really pushes you to think more gooder! =)

Diogenis, dude - just finished your 6 maps. To me, this one is not only your best map so far but I'd say it's definitely in the top 10% of all maps I've played. Maybe even the top 5%.

Great job with this map and I hope you keep making them!
