Desc:
A very scary map inspired by Stephen King novel. TAK is an ancient evil entity waiting for hundred years in an abandonned mine. To WIN, you need to destroy TAK. But to be able to do that, you must liberate the COUGAR first... The Cougar is kept prisoner in the mine by the mental power of TAK. Beware, TAK is also a good CW3 player ; each time you will build 6 or 10 units, he will build two. This map as also a crazy terrain, but - how lucky you are - terps are very cheap. THIS IS NOT A RANDOM MAP.

It's not like you to make complex terrain, and then let people Terp all over it?

Edit for clarity:
(Hint. Hint.)

Edit for spoilers:

Spoiler

Build slow, and use Mortars to exploit the terrain. Only so many units will be built. Beams and Reactors are a priority. Nullifiers are useful.
DO NOT try to Terp anything flat, except maybe a Forge point. Big spoiler:

Spoiler

Terps self destruct, and a moment later make a Totem. Once your power budget balances, using the singularity, powered by Terp Totems, can do things that normal maps cannot.

Terps can (just) move a few squares, with plenty of power, so between 4-6, you might get a 5x5 area flat.

Another beautiful map and great game play. The spores connected to build number was brilliant, had to think about strategy and use PZs wisely. The terp was a cruel trick!

My favourite one of yours yet, wish I had time for a replay, will be back!

You have me on this one Yum, my second go was a disaster! Tried split CNs and lost one, forge also did not activate, I didn't realise what creates the totems first time round so it was a slog without them. I am going to have another go but your 17 min will be tough to beat!
