On their way to the next Progenitor facility, the HDF fleet detects an anomalous signal in a system not straying far from their route. In a willingness to collect as much data as possible, Captain Varro takes a small section of his task force to the anomaly to look for answers.

Man what a beautiful map! Great enemy ship design with a very creative theme. 10 out of 10. Awesome!

Thanks! I'm actually quite proud of how those enemy ships turned out, so I'm glad you like them! :D

Very nice design

I started at the top left. Destroyed one stunner then flipped the two emitters. Moved my command center to the bottom and started grinding back up to the top. After a bit of playing I realized the upper left was vulnerable to omnis and just sent ten up to kill the hive center :)

PROGENITOR LOCUS HAS SENT OUT HIS MINIONS. DO YOU COWER APPROPRIATELY?


I may not be as original as I thought I was :-[

lol, it's kinda one of those themes that just has to crop up everywhere in the Creeper World universe, you know, for foreshadowing/creepiness/awesomeness. It's such a satisfying shape to make too. :P

I really liked this map! Being still pretty new to the game, I'm still trying to figure stuff out.

I noticed that there's a nice "backdoor" in this map which makes things a lot easier.

You can land at the top and activate the mine, then build two omnis and land them on the enemy's island, then wreak all sorts of havoc, and quickly destroy the primary Hive, or whatever it is.
