This ismy first map! (woo!) and also my first time programming CPRL's. Enjoy this medium level map! :D

Good fight!
I thought you gave us way too much to start with, but if worked out just right.
Thanks,

May I ask for a hint?
Got rid of everything except the thing in the crater - cannot get a nullifier close enough as it randomly creates creeper around....

[Helper]

I 'Terped' my way out to it to set the Nullifier. There was very little Creeper being generated at that spot.

Anyone figure out what the red thing in the middle does or how it works ? I destroyed it with a sniper but can't see how it changed anything.

I just went back in to read the "Archived Transmissions", but that option isn't in this game.
I do remember there was something about it in one of the messages, but can't recall the details.

One of those central devices affects the flow of Creeper - I think the second one.
As near as I could tell, all the red thing does is give you an easy PZ.

Sorry, maybe I should have made it a bit more clear (I did do a big hint in the texts) That made-up 'ac drone' is targeted with a sniper. Then, once it is destroyed, you can use the power zone created to boost the range of your nullifier .

Hope this helps!  ;)

Thanks for playing! It took me a long time to test out the start of this map, and I found that if you didn't have all of those reactors and terps, the fast-flowing creeper would soon overwhelm your defenses.

It was never meant to serve much of a purpose really. It was originally just going to create a power zone to reach that 'creeper enhancer', but i thouhgt that maybe in a future map, i could programme a cprl to be able to be used as an 'ac drone', if i can learn how to do it! (I may have to work on my programming skills!!)

Thank you all so much for playing! When I first uploaded my map, i thought 'oh, no-one's gonna want to play my map', so I was astounded this morning when i found that I had had over 30 plays! For the people who got a little stuck/had questions to ask, here they are:

Spoiler

That 'ac drone' in the center was never meant to serve much of a purpose. It was mainly just to create a power zone, to boost bullifier range to get the 'creeper enhancer'. But, if i brush up on my non-existant 'programming skills', I am hoping that in one of my future maps, I might be able to bring my 'ac drone' creation to life!

If anybody has any advice or 'constructive critisicm' for my map, I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell it to me (I will try to read all of these) so hopefuly my next map can be even better! Thanks for playing!

P.s Who got the reference of the name of my planet? ;)
