Ok this one was a pain in the butt, lol. Not sure if I waited too long or not but by the time I was ready to fight drones, there were like 200 of them, some with 5,000 health. Ended up being a slugfest with giant groups of blasters sent in to try and lure drones away from the Gateways in order to blow them up. By the time I won, I had probably built over 1,000 blasters, lol. Was that the intent or was there something I missed?

Shields are very effective against drones. (see map 1024)

Thank You for comments. Drone with health 3K-5K come later. If You find good tactics it will be only 1 or 2 strong drones for fighting.
Scenario how to win in about 10 minutes:
1. Build many reactors to get energy. Destroy terrain near emitters, build 1 nulifyer and destroy emitters.
2. Build launchers and blasters and destroy creeper inside box, destroy terrain on the way to dig gate and open the path to get
micro rift and c-bomb availability. As soon as possible get it.
3. Build micro rift near LS, open micro rift in the central box and build c-bombs and blasters on it. Then firstly as soon as possible destroy all emitters and drone gates (befor drones with health 3K-5K will come).
4. Kill remaining (not so srong) drones.

Good luck!

Please switch on "show field viewer" in editor to give everbody a possibility to check whether it is save or not.

It is possible, but idea was to get for players "unexpected surprise as a present". By my opinion it is more interesting...

Okay, but field viewer would give people a choice. If they want "unexpected surprises", they won't use it.

By the way: Congratulations on you highscore!

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this map immensely. I've never been big on speed, I usually sit back, build up the tech, then go for it. This time, that way of thinking bit me in the butt, lol.
