You're working on a new blaster prototype, but the creeper attacks your building platform. Retreat to an offshore base and reconquer the platform.

One thing i like in sqaz maps is that the emitters are almost aways somehow gentle (and the gameplay is still hard). not the 0.1 0.1 200 we see around.

Great map, 5/5. Very well thought.

Fun map.. had to figure out the beginning  ;)

Wow, this is so hard.  Any advice on what order to do things here.  I think I'm almost there but stuffed it up last time and don't have the motivation to try again yet as I've spent hours on this already. >:(  Please help!

This is the method I'm currently trying:

Spoiler

Go to top left, get upgrades including reactor and mortar.  Build reactors and mortars to defend base, spread to the south (using drone to help), keep building up, especially drones.  Then, send drone attacks to top right, along with city and blaster.  Keep Southen base alive by replacing two mortars, backup mortars get flown around until they are needed (this is where I stuffed up last time, I accidently let them land and die :( ). Get the blaster tech only, then fly back to southern base, where there will still be 2 mortars and a few reactors.  Then my intention is to somehow reclaim the North base, then go from there with blasters.

Is this the right way to go about it or is there something that I'm completely missing.  Have investigated starting a top right but I can't get enough energy to defend myself for long, let alone spread out, with only collectors for energy.

Thanks,

Yay, finally did it, with the method I was saying, but there must be a much easier way.
