I liked the map idea, but I think it was way too huge.

This was epic!   ;D

My only complaint is making it mandatory to collect all the techs...this added quite a bit of (relatively boring) time to my score, trying to wipe out all the creeper so I could get to all the techs after I'd nullified the inhibitor.

@fortas16,
This was very nice and a good fight.
In the future, please consider only making maps as large as they must be to demonstrate your map-making skills. I love a good long-lasting fight and one with options for the best approach.
Your AE's prevented us from using Strafers and Bombers in any assaults and a lot of players love using both of those units.
Side note: in the approach I used, by the time I captured the Siphon, I didn't need the extra Aether or Power - but I sure could have used them early on. Maybe something you can change next time.

Thanks for a fun day of playing.

@dmtheorist -

Spoiler

after you take out the Inhibitor, set your Berthas to auto mode and they will clean up the piles of Creeper for you.

Yipe! An hour 10 minutes for first place.  :P Really nice fight.


Mostly the tech limits were just annoying. (Especially putting exactly one siphon so far from a practical starting point.  ::)) Also my first sniper fired its first shot two seconds AFTER the inhibitor went boom.  ;D (But I didn't have any techs to collect at that point.  ;))

I had to go with the hard way of dealing with runners - I took the rare step of setting cannons to 'runners first' since I hadn't caught the sniper tech yet and strafers were blocked by all the AETs. (Power zones are your friend.) (Near the end PZ berthas did finally cut the digitalis off at the source and strand the last runners; but that was pretty much mop up time.)
