What have you done to the screenshot? I'd excuse Amrakul-esque CRPL, but this seems to be a vanilla map.

I'll chalk it up to an upload glitch...

Edit: It seems there is something happening - I built a Forge, and it had 800 Aether in stock before it completed building. ???

[Nicant]

Me too! I made a forge and it had 800, but when i clicked the forge button, it went back to 0.

[GoodMorning]

It stayed at 800 for me... odd.

Edit: Checked the editor for scripts, none found. So the screenshot is definitely broken.

I would theorize that the author of this map is using a hacked version of CW3.

[Nicant]

Yeah probably, Goober's score for the map is 8 minutes and the map could take up around to 30 mins to complete.
But who knows for sure

Probably some of the players who treat smaller maps as turn-based strategy. With that many PZs and the free Aether, it might be possible to do paratrooping waves with Bertha and Guppy support, and do sufficiently fast chain Nullification. Even if it is possible, it is far beyond my level of skill. But I'd love to see it done.

Crazy speed map at the beginning, but takes way too long to clear out the map.
<8 min possible.
For me, i could use the 800 Aether. Put everything in build speed the rest in energy.
Should give you like +300 energy  in ~2min.
Stoped at +500, which was too early, since i was always out of energy :-/
probably could be <7min. But i am not going to try, took >90min real time.

Under 6 min quite possible but huge amount of micro management needed.

Spoiler

I also uesed aether for build speed then energy and later on packet speed to speed up building. The AoOs can be used to create advance bases to speed up the attack.

Coca - Not sure if your version of the game is working properly. See my sceen shot. I have less power and am powering more units and yet I am in the green. I never went above about 250 and was never short adn I never upgraded energy past 80.

Under 6 min quite possible but huge amount of micro management needed.

I'll be impressed if someone does under 6, I've had a few attempts and can't break 7.

Yeah, when I said it is possible I meant by Alter Old. As a general rule for most maps take whatever you or I score and multiply it by 0.75 and you have what Alter can do if he puts his mind to it!
