The name says it all. It's epic. It's big. It's hell. And it's going to take a lot to beat this world. Yes, time too. So if you don't like long maps and difficult creeper, look somewhere else. It's party time. Scripts came from the main missions.

It gets laggy when you have enough units to deal with the threat.  Get a decent start and this takes time but doesn't warrant the "hell" in the name.

There didn't seem to be a huge challenge, and I don't like shuffling large numbers of units little-by little over a huge terrain, so I diverted some time to investigate if it was possible to colonize the pyramid - it was. I discovered an interesting attribute of that pyramid - unfortunately a little too late to get a decent score, but something that might be worth bearing in mind if I ever want to take this map on for an improved score.

after six goes i worked out just how many guppies were required and got the north pyramid! not really hell, but a "hell" of a fun slog. some slog maps are just too long, this one is laggy, but not endless seeming. still after 1:40 real time and about 25 mins game time i needed a break.
I'll prob post a score tmmw, but in advance, cheers dude, great map!  8)

I got the north pyramid by landing two CNs right under it at the game start. The emitters are slow enough that you can nullify most of it before they fire.

It wouldn't be fun if there wasn't some trick to it!  ;D
