It required a full restart and different approach, congrats on the map, you need to use pretty much every unit and use them wisely.

The low scores are a credit to you, you made a genuinely very challenging map. People don't like that! 10/10 from me!

Haha I had to give it another go after seeing your time! Did you

grab the bertha early and power up the totem early? By 10 minutes in I already had the bertha tech and a steady supply of energy to the totem by using the mass driver. Since you start with a forge you can have that up and ready ahead of time. From there I immediately cut off the digi from the northeast emitter, hunkered down for the fallout, and quickly cleaned up the rest of the map.

Hi there,

I'm still ploughing through these custom maps and have mastered all but very few. I like challenges and the maps of BilboCGL are very good in my opinion. But this one is going to my nerves. I tried many different things but as soon as the runners are populating the map, I don't get anything build in an appropriate timespan. Any relay that is build more than two relays away from my base is nearly permanently knocked out.

Please. Help. Any hint is welcome.

Regards,
The Doctor

I really, REALLY cannot see how to do this.
I see no bertha token on the map.

You get several strafers.
You need to strategicaly undercut the track, herding the runners away from the important places.

Hi!
Thanks for playing this map, there are berthas on the map, I've hidden them a bit,

I've attached three screenshots, 20 minutes, 40 minutes and finish after 60 minutes, I hope they help.

Nice map

It really , Really,  *REALLY* helps to notice when you get that unexpected Bertha pickup. I had mine all the time, just didn't realize it. :(

Anyways, after a complete redo, I finished.
In what I though was a good time.
Only to see that D0m0nik had beat my time, once again.
Not by a huge margin, but still :( :(

It was very close though!! Cornucanis beat us both by a very long way though!

Yeah, but he's a god..
I don't compete with gods.
It really fuels my inferiority complex.
