I can't figure out how to start other than land a CN on the SE island next to the totems, but it is too far to connect to any units. I can't find any other landing spot. A tip would be welcome, it looks like a good map and I'm intrigued now, thanks!

The key isn't where you can build, but what you can build. Go through everything in your inventory and see if something looks... different? Weird?

And try not to ask "why?" in Martin's maps. If it's the only thing you can do, if it's the only thing you can build, if it's the only place you can build, etc. then do it and see what happens. After you do it, maybe do it some more and see if things get better or worse, and then do it less or more.

Maybe that's too specific or too obscure. Trying to walk a tightrope here, lol.

Wonder what the best possible time could be. Weasee prolly can do it in 20 minutes but I'm happy to just beat Martin's score and teach him a lesson for making a map like this (lol, j/k mate - I actually enjoyed yet another different challenge!)

Thanks for the map! =)

Cesser, Johnny Haywire here, read my first comment, please!

Johnny, you may want to have a look at the scoreboard again.

Spoiler

I had noticed that unit that costs 0,

but I was thinking I couldn't get ammo to it. After reading your hint I built one anyway, so thanks! Still I couldn't figure out how to get energy to a nullifier, the spores immediately kill charged collectors/relays. Anyways, I'm giving up now, thank you for your help!

You should also observe what happens after you build the object. Let the game run for ~20 minutes after construction. You should see promising results that will guide you with expansion.

Martin, you are still cunning and "evil". :D
