again, feedback, please (I know some of You have voiced criticism over having to abandon bases. However, I think that one has to use the strategy that is necessary for every single map. This map requires just that...)

Ow.
Like dude, seriously, OW!

Doable, but a rather significant challenge.

For me, I found it possible to hold the left main island, and still assault the right. but... not effectively. Each time I had to fly back to replenish my batteries, I would again lose territory on the right.

So i decided to move in to the right. and... my *&^ forge is in the creep path on the left.
It is HARD to keep your beachead toehold on the right when suddenly sent back into the stone age.

thx for playing!

BTW: did you use the guppies at all?

Guppies allow you to get AC, which helps... a bit.
Nice for defending the SW island.

But for assaulting the SE island, the ridiculous level of micromanagement needed to effectively use AC is just overwhelming.
With sprayers being irreplaceable, you are so severely restricted in battle techniques and placements of these sprayers, they are simply not worth the effort.

OK - THX

Hey, dunno how I missed this one back in the day.

Cool map, and you can pretty much work both lower bases at the same time if you just use lots of guppies to power your western (left) island while your CN pops over with 10k AC stored to unload it all.

I just let the AC run in my western base, then sucked it all up with the sprayers, then popped over and whammied the base. Love the AC, even if ya gotta use guppies.

Thanks for the map!

Haven't played this in years. I assume my then idea was colored by lack of experience and knowledge. This map would probably have looked differently today.

Mamy thanks for playing
