Just playing with the map editor and upload process. Should be a <60 second map.

I'm not really sure maps like this should be posted. Even as an experiment - you could always add some sort of difficulty in there to keep it from being an auto-win, I dunno.

I found myself short on energy for much of this, some tech would have been good.  I focussed on building lots of reactors, but needed to terraform to 10 before I could do this, so had to spread around the energy.  I also tried an aerial attack on the far side (top right) to keep the creeper level down here.  By the end I had reactors and collectors everywhere and my issue was finding a spot to build the nullifier, luckily I had enough energy by this stage and could destroy a reactor.  Watch out at this point because if you destroy too many weapons the creeper could get the best of you and end up destroying all you've built.

Um... huh? Say what?

Oh, lol. I typed a response and then re-read what you posted and realized you were being sarcastic. Totally cracked me up at that point  ;D

I had trouble building my third Thor... there just wasn't quite enough AC to build it. And there wasn't enough aether to land a 4th CN to help with repairing the walls.

Yeah, I thought it was so straightforward it needed something different said about it.  Often I'll try to do more with maps just for fun, such as filling whole maps with reactors and AC etc.  My favourite is when there are lots of PZ's, I'll put relays on everyone to make a super-grid of connections.
