Very nice map. Took many tries and experimentation to figure out a strategy, but it worked out in the end. Thanks for the challenge!

all your maps are pretty hard. they are great but i have trouble even getting started!

Thanks for the comments people. Yes... I generally like making hard maps because I like playing hard maps. Most people who play mine
know they are in for a run to get started.

lividbiship, the trick to my maps is to think about how you would get through it if you built it. Just like applemachome, it took a few tries
to get going and find a strategy. When I played this map, I restarted a number of times until I saw how the map behaved and took
advantage of that. I also ctrl s a lot during my games. Sometimes you can save the game right before it blows up and then you have to
start over anyway. All this takes practice and some more practice.

Anyway, thanks for playing.

Blessings

using 5 relays you will be able to place a nullifier on each runner nest.

Thanks Grayzzur! Glad you enjoyed. :)

People are having trouble with the digitalis and runners on this world? It takes more than a minute for the digitalis to grow all the way. If it gets close just

Send in some commando gunners near the emitters set to hit digitalis.

That should make it way easier.

Send over two strafers to take out the digitalis

Still trying to figure out how to complete this in under 15 mins though, great time Warren!
