Eventually the gateway will fire a phantom at the nexus, which puts creeper under it making it destroy everything around it etc. and activating. If you kill the phantom gateway before this happens the map will become impossible I think (this map hass a pretty significant luck component because there's no good way to tell when the gateway will send a phantom at the nexus)..

Thank You!
I was "lucky" - Phantom not fired at the nexus within 30 minutes... :)
But map very creative!

Me too. 38 minutes and nothing... I even went up and took care of the emitters just above while I waited. Oh well. :P

Deleted as unwinnable. Maps should not depend on a random and very rare event to become winnable.

when i tried to work out the phantom targeting issue i found the phantom will always target the nexus unless you open the chamber the phantoms are fired from then it will never target the nexus. ???
dunno why but i tried it a few times both ways just to see. ::)
