Search (on this forum) is your buddy, there is at least one other thread on Corvus.

Or try this, my most recent walkthrough.

first get the survival pods you dont have to be quick with the botem right as the creeper wil never get up there.
if you got at least the left most pods you must build mortars onthose and the middle isles
hope it helpes

Now that I'm better at this game I've gotten my time to beat Corvus down to about 12 minutes.  What is the best time that others have and what is your strategy?  YouTube is down for maintenance, so I can't upload a new vid, but when they come up I will and post the link here.

1. Generate energy first.
2. Make sure you don't go in starvation mode while building collectors. Build only as many at the same time as you have the energy for.
3. Save the pods just in time with relays you will use later to reach the totems.
4. Fight the Creeper only when necessary.
5. Prepare your (first and final) attack carefully (how many blasters / mortars do I really need?)
6. Don't let the mortar(s) shoot at shallow (one elevation level or less) Creeper. In this case deactivate/disarm/relocate the mortar(s).

Apart from point 3 you can apply these guidelines to every map.

Hmm I wish you'd publish a wallkthrough.

Here's my best effort:

I failed the first time because I wanted toi see what would happen if a suvival pod got destroyed. but what I do is I build collectors around the starting island and then I relay to all the islands that have survival pods on them. when I got all the survivors I fall back to the 3 middle islands( the frontest island that arent being devoured by creeper) then I build collectors til I get about 3-4 collection. then I start building blasters. 1 or 2 on each island.(3 on the starting island) then the creeper clears around the starting island and I build a few collectors and move 2 blasters around the sides. then just slowly advance and a few motar "bombing runs" and you should win.
(sorry about the vagueness)
 



there happy?

[creeper killer]

how about I make a walk through too. because you all are noobs by making weapons before you got all the survival pods

[Karsten75]

Yea, go for it. My best time now is 9:19.

Update: Best time now is 7:15 and I think I can shave a few seconds more off that. But how to beat Siccles and Alwego?
