This requires a bit of cleverness.

If you prevent movement, it would make this a bit more difficult  ;)

I'm not sure it would even be possible  ???

Well, maybe possible but a giant pain in the neck   :P

On third thought I'm going to go with impossible  :-\

Feel free to change it to movement locked and submit to prove me wrong  ;)

It would be possible, but a real pain. Not one I would personally try  ;)

It's possible (and not that fiddly either - requires some patience to build up resources and remembering that you _can_ transport energy to the other side of the map without collectors/relay)

ummmm.... but how?
i mean, how can you transport energy without collectors/relays?
...except with one weapon that connects 2 collectors/relays - which would not help on this map... well, maybe with mortars... but that would just help at the end to skip building 2 collectors on the way.
do you mean to transport packets?

my strategy on this map:
before my first attack i liked to collect all techs except 2 of the 6 variable upgrades and reactor, buildup max energy without reactors, get the reactor tech with a small attack, then fall back to build up a greater force to finish.

update:
i did try to use mortars to connect collectors on the final push to the right side.
maybe it was a good idea, or i was just faster at other things on the second try, but i finished 29 seconds faster (compared to my previous time with just building collectors)

Transport also means "carry" - how can you carry energy in CW1?  ;)

you mean the loaded weapons? :)

[Anonymeus]

Exactly... but I wasn't playing for a good time  ::)

awesome map, good placement of technologies. I first tried only with drones but it took a bit too long.

I confirm it's quite easy to do without moving (and should be very do-able to do a better time than me, as I'm no good at all at optimizing expansion and energy).
