Wow, I always know I've done well when I score higher than Miss Melissa. :)

One play-through, took about 3 hours.

But still some room to grow  ;D

Nice score.... I just don't have what it takes to replay this for a better score. :)

You can knock a few minutes off if you don't build so many weapons straight away, the early game is all about energy supply. You build a lovely neat collector grid though.

I know what it takes, I just wanted to build-out like that. And I don't want to replay this particular map. :)

I came in 5 seconds behind Willbir, happy with that, fun speed map.

Your grid layout is very satisfying but the relay network is incredibly slow that way, I always set out the relays in straight lines between all the key areas of the map including totems and ore deposits. I also spread out the CNs on this map to make it easier to harvest the energy deposits as early as possible. I agree with Willbir about energy focus early on but I did put a few mortors around the map to keep the creep down. Attacking on 8 or even 12 fronts helps plus bertha support never hurts!
