Great Map.. almost gave up due to the slow start but I stuck it out glad I did make some more

Great game, but I have to seriously re-evaluate my technique.
Thank you for making it.

dig in straight (balanced) lines and get that cbomb tech early.
i aimed at reactors then cbombs/shields then beacons, grabbing the other stuff on the way. only went for reactor, energy store/speed and reduce unit cost techs to start and only built reactors and cbombs. (except for the drone room, i built 8 blasters to be sure)
the chambers can cancel each other out as you dig down.
then cbombs and shields does the trick  ;)
hope that helps  8)

Tek - I posted a couple of screen grabs for you over there.
Hope it helps.

Interesting map.  At first, I thought it would take FOREVER to get the reactors so I could use weapons.  Then, once I figured out to dig straight down the vertical walls it wasn't so bad.  Took a few attempts to get something decent going.

I do wish you had put the beacon near the top, so you weren't forced to take the ship down into the board and just kind of ease the dig a little more, but I'm sure this was totally on purpose.

Overall, a very unique and enjoyable map.

I liked it a lot, but you are evil for putting the Beacon on the bottom. :P

the title alone guartantees my approval. :P Great map, downloaded it earlier out of curiosity and got about half way through, I'll have to finish it later. :D

i dug down the line next to the repulsers, built one and it got the ac and creep moving much much faster,  didnt take as long the win after that.  loved the map
