There's no preparing this time... you can only run for your life, and hope you make it in time. Thanks to Timwi for helping me test it, this map is a little outta my league.

What's the difference ? 2 reactors minus ?
Anything else ? If so 2:05 is awesome.

the differnce is no sams, or thor. aka, no preparing this time. before, you had to buckle down and fight the spores, now you just have to get away.

Actually, a major difference is that there are now twice as many reactors available...

Hi, thank you for your hints.
Twice reactors ? :o Damn, I haven't seen !
"Preparing for hell I made in 1:58", but without timis vid I would not have managed it.
I love this game !

Ok, that's it, I cannot do any better. Awesome map. Uhh...what about fer ?
I think it is beatable.

Hint: You have to build one Storage because the system cannot handle more that 20 Energy.
If you have 25 Energy in Producing it still only deplete 20, although it shows e.g 24,8 !

thanks... and wow timwi!! he beat you!

@fridge:
Your score can be beaten very easily. I have beaten it by 7 secs, but I didn't optimise my approach at all. Your post indicates clearly, that the approach that you use is far from being optimal.

At first I was surprised that so many people had some not very bad scores and noone had a very bad one (until I saw the video). The average or bad cw player often does not think of such strategies.

The approach in the video shows many very obvious mistakes ( the way the reacors are connected to each other, the way the island is connected to the reactors, the loactions where the blasters are dropped and many more.)

I believe that the map can be beaten in 1:30 or definetly in 1:35.

I would like to see that! I couldn't beat it at all, and I made the danged thing!

Anybody want to share some clues to how in the world this can be done? Obviously I need to go to some higher levels. Any advice?

there's a video under the comments for preparing for hell (fixed) also, it's supposed to be done fast, :P
