You have to rebuild often and be constantly on your toes about keeping connections up

Nice idea

Spoiler

You do not need to rebuild at all, the rain will not destroy any unit if it is sat on enough AC. Destroy the shield and expand your base with the expanding AC, use sprayers to expand the spread and leave them on constant to flood selectareas.

A level like this would be very interesting with some strong wind!

I want to like the map, But I just don't like the rain mechanic. Its just very frustrating.
wouldn't be so bad if shields actually did anything against it.

But kudos for trying new approaches, keep em coming.

Hint, the shield dose nothing. but if 5 creeper lands on 10 anti creeper you still have 5 anti creeper. Build up a base and use guppies and turrets to do the rest.

Yet another stupid hard map from coldwarwolf. This "rain" is really lame. And your advice about using AC doesn't work. Maybe if I had 10 or 15 minutes to get ready AND shields actually did something. This map would worthy of a high rating.
