My first map using CRPL. Unit is a mini version of the nexus. This is mainly if you want to download the script. Enjoy #CRPL

Nice script but the map is hardly playable / enjoyable.
Unreasonably big, fully empty and too boring.

Plus, the nexus can be nullified by accident: if it moves close to a nullifier that is already in the process of nullifying an enemy, the nexus gets targeted and destroyed too. I didn't even notice when I destroyed the nexus... :)
(Possible solution: the nexus should avoid areas which are already in the range of active nullifiers.)

You could have posted the script in the forum instead of uploading it as a map or add some minimal design to it.

I don't even know how I killed the nexus.  I ringed the center with mortars and spore towers to keep it confined and at that time I killed everything I could without entering the central zone--I didn't pay attention to these nullifiers as there was no threat to them.  I then started chewing on the center and I noticed nothing more was being built--and I couldn't find the nexus.

This map needs some aether to overcome the supply bug in the game:  The game does not feed power (or anti-creeper) reliably at a rate greater than your storage capacity.
