Between lag and 'pause to build and move' 18 minutes game time took me almost two hours.

A very nice massive battle. You'll need pause to manage a decent score. Again you start with lots of crystal energy; which allows very quick building of infrastructure.

Spoiler

How many of the delayed start emitters just outside the wall can you kill before they activate? I got 7.

:P. I'm surprised that you only took 18 minutes. You must have been launching a four-pronged attack the whole time. It took me like 3-4 hours to do it myself, and I even took a long break at one point.

Spoiler

I totally forgot about nullifying the delayed start emitters when I did it :P

12. Should have been 15 but I misjudged the Creeper flow along the top.

I wouldn't say four pronged so much as all 360 degrees at once. Though I did have three points where I pushed ahead a bit faster.

Spoiler

Mid east and west coasts ,where I got some of the close in emitters, and straight up where I wasn't quite fast enough. (But it was still a natural point to push the attack since the only opposition was that line of weaker close in emitters.)

is there any way to destroy a wall besides letting it get overrun by creeper?

No - and it can get pretty tricky if you're trying to time some kind of tactic/attack.

[Katra]

There's a couple of ways to deal with walls.
1. Set up a line of cannons along the wall and wait for the creeper to eat through it.
2. Jump over it.

In either case shooting over the wall with mortars or bertha will make the attack easier.
