Welcom to the survival map. Live as along as you can with limited structures as you battle against an terrifying amount of creeper!

The big emitters to the right and left of the base at the edge can be beaten early and easily, use a freeze to take the right hand one or destroy the easy emitters to get through.

The defences you are provided with are fine for quite a long time and will protect your wall leaving time to take one corner at a time.

There are a few berthas to be collected around the map, place them on power zones and your laughing.

To take a corner use a convert and then a freeze, if you upgrade build speed and packet speed you can easily take them, you just need to get close enough.

Just had a thought - could you use a convert, freeze and then send in a guppy???

freeze + convert + guppy is good
freeze (wait 2 seconds) + Mass + guppy is good when there is digitalis. If you land the Mass before the freeze effect has finished working, creeper leaks in. Don't land the guppy first!

Yes that worked very well, once the corners and big 700 emitters are taken care of its a cake walk. I love this map, it appears a huge slog at first and after a bit of thought you discover a technique you have never used before, nice map

Great map, really good challenge at first and then a nice clean up.

Spoiler

I started by building a web of collectors around the base to collect the upgrades. By using all the starting aether on build speed upgrades I was able to collect a dozen or so extras which made life a lot easier and meant I only need to use orbital weapons on one (top right) corner (convert + convert + freeze).

This map felt like I was playing a #PlayAsCreeper game except in reverse where I was the human player getting destroyed.  ;D

Hopeless without the stuff on the Orbital tab.  I'm not used to being handed those at the start, I didn't think to look there until I read the comments on here.  With those, tough but fair.

I actually beat it once without the orbitals. Took about 40+ minutes of game time.
