Having trouble with this map. Tell me how to beat it.

It is a two step process really.

Spoiler

1) First, take out the emitter on the right. then terraform a new CN landing pad. You will need to build a beam weapon by this point, but you only need one if well positioned.
2) Now that you have landed a second node, you will want to build your army. I recommend: a sprayer, that mortar you used in part 1, and two cannon and an extra beam weapon.
2a) Charge your weapons and empty out the creeper with the mortar.
2b) Lift the command node in the way and start moving your army in. This is the tricky part. Deactivate your mortar and stop resupply to at least one beam weapon. They are too expensive. You only need one blaster to hold back the creeper, but two gives you more control. For greater ease, build that mine and replace a blaster with a sprayer.
2c) build a nullifier.

Overall this was a very well thought out map. My gripe is with the eastern island. We know you need to terraform it to place a CN; but having limited energy and having to terp from level 1 to 10 (or vice versa) is unnecessarily long, even when I put the terp in the PZ. Otherwise, this was a fun play. The Little Dude gave it a 9.   :D

Brilliant map! Small, yet very challenging.  But not impossible.  Something all authors should strive for.
