Pretty brutal end-game. Had some trouble with the (nearly) final corner. The one that spawns a significant amount of creeper. Didn't have quite enough room for blasters to eliminate it and, because the creeper spawns from elsewhere, there was no emitter to destroy. Finally managed to build a portal near the gems, slipping a few green energy dots by the flood of creeper each time. Ouch !

Great map!  I was concerned about the

quickly-massing anti-creeper near the top

so I

put a maker-vacuum there and charged up 50+ makers and used them as bombs

.

I wonder what would happen if

the anti-creeper reached 2147M

.. Hmm...

The warping creeper was a problem, but I found a good solution to it, without putting blasters everywhere:

Spoiler

put shields as close to the spawn point as possible, then fill the area with AC, then put shields directly on the spawn points

.  Worked great, and I didn't have to worry about them from then on.

finished it, i just put a simple mortar to blast creeper spawn points, moved thur and enjoyed my time

One of the best maps I've played.  Challenging, thought-provoking, creative.  Well done!
