No need to apologise, a fun map with some challenge.

A hint for when you get stuck:

Spoiler

[/
Float the command note to nullify the no-fly-zone to the west, then it is possible to conquer the whole western side.

RnR, you crazy fool! That's an interesting time. I guess I'll have to make it harder next time.

You gave me AoA. I used them efficiently. Expect much faster (sub 20 mins probably) if people use RealAndy's trick to its full potential.

Great map! I'll be playing this one again.

What is RealAndy's trick? I'm still relatively new to all this.

To win the west (as he says above). It works, knocked a five minutes off my time but didn't manage to beat 20mins which I was aiming for. It's difficult to manage battles on three fronts and keep energy supplies up.

[Sorrontis]

I did not even notice that. That's how I beat the map, yet, my time is still 1h+ ... must be doing something wrong :) Were you able to defeat the 2k emitter before it leaves it's walls?

[D0m0nik]

Nice map, great battle on many fronts at the same time. RrRs time is excellent and will be very tough to beat let alone trying to do a sub 20 min. I am certainly going to have a replay or two to try to get close, really fun map.

Sorrontis,

Spoiler

once you take the spore tower on the west, use a relay plus the forge singularity weapon to take the bertha tech. Once you have that, you can use berthas on the two PZs on the southwest and you're on your way.

I never saw it that way. that's beautiful. thanks! I'll have to remake the map with more challenge :)

[RrR]

I beat the the 2k emitter with five walls standing.

[D0m0nik]

i just replayed and got close to the 20 min mark but no cigar.

Spoiler

Bridging across to the left is essential but if you go to early you cannot advance North at the same time

[close]

really well balanced map as you can attack in multiple directions at the same time making power a tricky thing to balance.

The challenge is on, sub 20 mins anyone?? -Alter Old excluded ;) Perhaps 15 min?

[Sorrontis]

I beat the the 2k emitter with five walls standing.

I have a feeling that's key to beating it quick. if the creeper escapes, its almost impossible to push out.

[RrR]

Beating 15 minutes will be hard - too many things to optimise. Beating 19 min was hard enough, but AlterOld can probably do it.
