Apexian - Hope this is a little more friendly.

Top right should be ok for a one base strategy. Bertha tech and more starting energy to help things along!

Played this one first in preparation for the less easy version of this map.

I started NW, SE and SW. Forge on SE. Nullified a few delayed emitters with guppies and started working to clear the bottom. Lost my north base due to lack of care. Got the bottom cleared and then moved into the big island to collect Thor.

Only 500 cost for the Thor??? Sweet!! Quick mop up after that. I like maps that have a slow and hard start that once you overcome certain obstacles you just dominate and overpower the rest of the map. This one really hit that nicely. Those brutal runner nests and turn into paper once you have the Thor and a few berthas on PZs, and the inch-by-inch terrain becomes no big deal.

Another 10/10. Now I move on to the other version of this map.

Glad you liked it! And yeah the fun for me in these maps is the first half, once you are well set up it's then just a formality. The Thor and Bertha's were mainly added to ensure almost anyone could beat it though.
