that turret rush is too much, there is no way thats reasonable.

I noticed this being a bit too easy. Sure, the AC slows you down at the start, but once you start capturing the free real-estate on the islands, you've accumulated enough power to rush the factory, cut the enemy's supply-lines, and rush the rift lab.

Somehting I also noticed at the end: I could select the enemy units and structures, and delete them. Might want to look into that for future maps?

Ah.  The cheese is so good!

Just tell the rift lab to move the location of your choosing before unpausing.  It won't really build anything and will land in a nice puddle of creeper.

Playing legit was fun too.

I'm not gonna do future maps with autopilot probably as it's too strong and there's too much restrictions to using it at the same time. I prefer using the autobuild script. This is just a test map btw and I'm not continuing the autopilot side. If people want autopilot cursor maps, they can go try to make the autopilot work themselves.

You can see this map as the "pre-beta" version of cursor vs player. It nicely shows that balancing that would be pretty difficult without anticreeper breeder.
When you want an explanation for something I use in my levels, or if you want to suggest something, feel free to tell me. Just don't ask/suggest things every other day please :P

I liked the idea of having to escort mesh, but it wasn't eneded at all.

Just went south for some power, cut north for the emmitter, reclaimed a little more land for power and smashed stright through the bridge

You can move the rift lab and everything else and you can also destroy stuff with shift+x (or wich key you mapped to destroy)
so you can win very quickly
