Very hard begging. You will often loose a lot of your energy supply. Be very carefull about "missiles" cos they may flood your base with huge amounts of creep. To see if enemy structure will leave PZ on terrain you can hover your mouse over middle of unit and check if there is terrain by looking right below time settings. #limitedUnits #fastCreeper #creeper attacks #iCan'tSeeWhatsThereCosewindowIsTooSmall

"Very hard begging" - while I think the author means "Very hard beginning" the misspelling is also appropriate.

If you're looking for a long, arduous battle - try this map. I have no earthly idea how Dom or anyone else can manage a sub-30-minute time on this one. Maybe I was doing something wrong, I dunno.

This map is a total anomaly. I rarely use shields, yet because of the low viscosity of the creeper and limited number of blasters I found them to be an effective addition. Same with strafers. Never in 4,000+ games have I had to resort to using both shields AND strafers in the same map.

But with such a limited number of weapons and resources you'll be pulling out all the stops just to survive on this one.

Oh, and some of the buildings shoot emitters at you. Yes, actual emitters moving toward you like a slow-moving bowling ball.

Maybe you'll be able to speedrun this map. If not, you can turtle up and build a row of blasters, mortars, shields, and nullifiers.

Thanks for the map!
