For players first time playing game with Bickford:

Spoiler

You can send "loaded snipers" to "Bickford area" and initiate "Bickford effect" - continuous generation of Anti-Creeper.
Usually Bickford area near Runner Nest and without digitals. In fact snipers kill runners with speed=0, high AC payload and very weak health. Then in Nest area Anti-Creeper kill this runners without snipers and generate Anti-Creeper. :)

Too hard? Shortage of "snipers"?

hint:

Spoiler

Send 1 loaded sniper to the central/down part of the map (between 4 Runner Nest). Bickford effect give You possibility land CN and build 1 collector to get unlimited "sniper tech" at the beginning of game. And many target for it - about 30 Bickford area!
Please, enjoy! :)

1. You also was cool! I played additional 2 times to beat Your score! :) But we together can not beat RrR... :-[
2. Really thank You for Your rate 10/10! :) Only few players enjoyed this not so difficult game... :(
3. Sorry, but I am still waiting for Your map "Mars-4" (PAC, with runners). If possible... :-[

P.S. Additionally on Your Desire I can create one map (new idea) with runners but absolutely without snipers. ;)

I thought this map was too large with too many runner nests, I played at 4x speed just to get done.

I respect Your opinion but it seems (according Your time) that You almost don't used Bickford effect (see explanation in 2 spoilers).
More than half players (submitted scores) if they play again using advantage of Bickford hope can enjoy this game. :)
Main thing is initiate starting of helpful Bickford as soon as possible. ;)

My play style involves rarely pausing, So I know I will have high times and low points, I play for enjoyment, and for me there were just too many emitter and runners nests that I had to individually put nullifiers next to. I replayed again using the hints and this time forgot to put down a second CN and didn't get the terp until late in the game and actually used Berths this time, I did drop my time down by 45mins however I still think the map is too large.

Maybe if you make another one like this where you have an inhibitor (possibly on the left side) where you had to work your way towards it and maybe made it so you have to terp the area before you can land a CN, That might might make it more enjoyable for someone like me. But again, I really enjoy and look forward to your _most maps. I am not going to like every one you make especially the ones i have not beat. but then again I don't like every girl I see or enjoy every pizza I buy. Just take comfort in knowing that your in the top 5 of best map makers here Maybe even the best.

Cheers
