OK, someone got to post up some strategy here, as I am lost on this one! lol  :)

someone got to post up some strategy here

I ended up building 230 Berthas but had to handle their aim targets manually, because its auto setting would always target the 25000 emitter (which was really ineffective).
Dump excess Liftic into Nukes and destroy (Shift+X) them, that creates some AC in the front line. Also prepare some beacons.
You should perma-Damper the emitter as soon as orbitals are available.

The method outlined by Piko is the only way I could find to make any progress

Spoiler

although I honestly don't know how he could fit in that many berthas, I have half the map full it feels and I'm no where near 230

. I'm at the point where I can survive and I think I could finish it but it would take forever because it lags so badly.

Anyone else find that when you quit this particular map the game pauses for a couple of minutes like it's locked up? It's not done that on any other map.

I am at a loss

- how do you get the wall of creeper to stop?when it crosses the middle I have six buffed bertas up and a tripe row of mortars. Which units do you use?

Kikai, you aren't thinking big enough.

Spoiler

Mortars are useless after the first few minutes. Don't bother buffing the berthas, you literally need to cover the map with berthas and energy mines then build a ton of Thors. The Thors and bertas combined can pretty much hold the creeper wall at bay. Use a full column of nukes to then create an anti-creeper wave to push the creeper back slightly. Move you're Thors forward, rinse repeat.

basically, at fist, you shold build 5 ern miners for each greener, then build nukes 15+ and destroy them when built, this wiil generate hugh amounts of ac.
then whatever u want, i built a line of berthas aiming at the main breeder, a line of the ball shooting thingy and then tons of ac mines.
the just build height 20 towers with a pole on top and advance with thors, they will get rid of blobs, skimmers and spores.
then just keep building new nukes and destroy them, no rockets needed,.
