How are you supposed to beat this map? I built all the mines and micro-rifts. I have mountains of AC and ARG, all the generators are fully upgraded. I even built a full stack of AC bombers to no avail.

EVERYTHING I can ERN is fully ERN'd too.

How tf you supposed to win?

The front line won't move. Just not enough firepower.

Looks like you're supposed to build large numbers of the custom AC-generating unit and ERN them all.  It's still slow going, but that at least allows for gradual progress.

Some general advice:

• If you build AC Makers on your main island, you can set them to "Rain Only" once upgraded to have them help out on the rest of the map.
• Once an AC maker is fully upgraded, it can make a lot of AC. Use sprayers to suck some up to get bluite/AC back. Helps a lot for filling AC bombers
• You can make ERNs. ERN AC makers for more AC & Rain.
• Aim for the flip breeder in the south first.
• Taking and holding even a small part of the flip breeder will make a big difference.
• The few weapons you start with can help you get to the first breeder terrain. Also ERN them. You will still need a lot of help from AC bombers and sprayers.
• It is possible to beat the map before the strong emitter turns on after 45 min.

Just played this - ended up with like 20+ AC generators with ERN
The rain needs to be more effect and have more rain - to be useful - with that many generators I would it at least like to look like it's raining...
On a normal map I would never spend the time/resources for the ac generator as it's not very efficient.
