Small puzzle map. Simple trick for victory, can you figure it out?

Hint if you're having trouble:

Those pesky walls make it hard to protect my CN... I wish I had some sort of wrecking ball to knock them down..

Nice little map. I can't get it, it's frustrating me. Good job :D

I had to give a 10 as someone who could not finish it probably left a one. It's a puzzle map and if you cannot do it you probably should either not leave a score or just keep trying. Its bad when someone tries one ore two times and leaves a score of one because they couldn't do it. I will not leave a score unless I finish the map. Great map it was irritating but great when I got it. Great job.

I just clicked on your name to try and play more of your maps and cant see any maps so I can guess it is your 1st? It is a great map and if you make more I will look forward to the game. If it is you 1st kudos I hope you make more Thanks...

Yes, this was my first map! Thank you for the kind words. I was inspired by ThirdParty's old micro puzzle maps. I wanted to make one that was difficult but not quite as difficult as his were. Hopefully I came pretty close to that mark. I probably will be making more maps in the future. I really like small maps so they will probably be small, although not necessarily minimum size like this one  ;)

Here are some more hints for anyone having trouble!

Spoiler

You've probably figured out the 1 unit that will be absolutely necessary for victory. Other than that 1 unit you should only build minimal protection for it while it does its work so you don't starve it of energy. Keep in mind the 2 "landing pads" aren't the only areas you can land your weapon after it's built! Sometimes your warriors have to take some damage to relieve pressure on the civilian units or units under construction.

Also, don't go too nuts knocking down that wall. Spend too much energy bringing down the wall and you may not be able to get your arsenal finished in time to keep both landing pads safe.

Figured I might as well try all your hard maps - this one was a cool puzzle, although "puzzle maps" aren't my fav. I prefer a 500m-high wave of creeper accompanied by a few hundred spores... but this was still cool.

Is it wrong to post solutions for these? It took me a few tries to figure out the right combination and there might actually be a few different choices, I dunno.

Thanks for the map!  ;D

I feel very slow. I can't figure it out. I get what needs to happen but I can't stay alive long enough to accomplish it. Help?
