I liked everything about the map right up until that last island. Attempting to assault a layer of 200+ Creeper with nothing but aircraft takes way too much time.
I always look forward to your maps, but will give up on this one and wait for the next.
Thanks,

Aircraft? Oh goodness no.
The way to assault a 200-deep creep is with *masses* of cannon and mortar. (or Berthas, but we ain't got no Berthas this time)
Have 3 shifts of mixed cannon+mortar, each shift of sufficient size to *cover* this last island.
drop in, shoot, bug out before you die.
Send in next shift. Rinse, repeat as often as needed to conquer.

While 1 shift is shooting, 1 is in transit and one is rearming/healing.


Once you have the creep down to 15-20, *then* you send in the strafers & bombers & sprayers & relays of a normal beach-head assault.
