Alright, this map is one of my hardest and most unfair maps. I fully expect the rage and hate ratings that this map will get. Do not play without being prepared. Trust me. I'm also not putting tags that give hints in this one... Have fun... I guess...

I'm fully aware that this map is completely unfair.

[Sorrontis]

I can't wait. you're really going for first place aren't you.

[Lost in Nowhere]

Dreams = crushed
That was... Well, you weren't exaggerating!

Clearly the map maker would not like spoilers. So my only advice to anyone intending to play this map is to make sure one saves before any major decision is undertaken.

Results of certain actions are severe, seems almost-random and capricious. Also know that the map will not be held after a victory is declared.

I'll post tips and spoilers after Sorrontis plays it. :)
Alright, I see Sorrontis's score so here's the spoilers.
For people that want hints:

Spoiler

Alright, save before you nullify emitters. Lower emitters won't do as much damage

For people who want outright spoilers and a walkthrough on pretty much everything:

Spoiler

Everything you nullify has a punishment waiting to occur. Emitters that have incredibly low EMT amounts will only spawn low creeper rain. If you nullify an emitter, DO NOT ALLOW DIGITALIS TO TOUCH THE CENTER OF THE POWERZONE! It will spawn a spore tower that will destroy everything on the map. FYI the spore tower cloud of death is a bug. I made a randomizer that made it so all emitters nullified would produce the same result so I removed it without resetting the default value to an emitter. The bug that occurred was that I didn't realize that the default wave interval for respawned spore towers were waaaaaaaaay too high so you can thank a bug for your pain and suffering while playing this map! :)

Why I made a special ending to victory:

Spoiler

You've WON THIS MAP CONGRATS!... and the creeper just destroyed everything... There's a reason I named this the Dream Crusher.
