Hello there. I set up my base before I press play, I used up all of my resources and fired off all the weapons doing so. From there you can raise the wall with terps or expand your weaponry to keep it back.

Great map!

Spoiler
The funny thing is you can let the initial base to be destroyed and still easily win.

I never liked these "build fast or fail" maps.  Especially when computer performance has a direct impact on success.  But this author did spell it out in the description, so giving a low rating would not be fair.   I didn't build a Terp until I was ready to approach the emitters & spore towers.   The deposits are appreciated, but wonder if thicker... (those green cubes that dissolve) were more generously used?  Still the balance between building energy supplies and defence was very close.  Making this map a good one.  Thanks
I respect those who quote me the least.

I don't know what you are talking about. If you mean the lag, play while the game is paused and advance frame by frame (press 'N' by default).
