It's fun to try to get competitive (many experienced players didn't try the maps this week???) We get a chance to get in the top 3. It's not always like that. I got the bronze last week. Still can't believe it...

I always like to give it a try each week, even if the scores don't always fit to compete. In the top five is ok for me. As long as I can beat some creepers, I get in no matter what score I get...

See you creepers warriors...

Okay; I tracked down the right screenshots. (Rather surprised I actually had all of the maps; I have a tendency to forget to take them.)

On map 4; I started by moving the city to the lower island. Looking at it now I could probably have managed a little faster by moving to the upper island close to the point the city is in the screenshot and making a straight line of collectors across the lower island.
