Desc:
Fight through a large valley with an intersection that hosts a small creeper base to obtain a few Power Zones. Top left mountain contains the Bertha Cannon tech. Bottom right is optional but provides a path to the main nest without inclines. Bottom left mountain contains the main nest. NOTES & WARNINGS 256x256 world size Lots of powerful spores Relatively easy start (over 1000 starting energy, premade forge that comes with 300 Aether, 3 large ore mines) First map, tips and (constructive) criticizm welcome.

Great map, especially for a first.

Only thing I would mention is that there was possibly too much goodies at the start, never really any threat, although it helped speed up the whole start so many would like it.

Yeah, no challenge.  I did it without berthas, even.  I couldn't quite keep anti-creeper on the nullifier, though.

I seem stuck - I've cleared the map of everything, destroyed the inhibitor and all the runners, yet the game goes on without ever finishing. So what do I have to do to win?

In addition to killing everything, you need to collect all tech artifacts, messages (not sure on that one, but probably), and shield keys to win a map

Ech, I missed the Bertha tech at the top left :(

This level was too easy, partly due to the starting resources (but it made the boring start very quick, so I'd keep at least some of those), but especially because the bertha tech is available even without the upgrade (why?!).
