Custom Map: Nice Job 9: The Explorer

Persistence pays off (and the hint about the wall to the right of the top tower).
1. Max collectors - then reactors.
2. One collector at a time (oops on that!).
3. Use the pause button to double-check constantly.
4. Take a break once in a while and go do something else. Amazing what you see when you come back and study your layout.

Thanks for hanging in there with me and helping. I made many mistakes throughout, but that will just make my next time that much improved. :)

Heheh! ;D Nice to see you made it again!

And yes, that pause-button is your best friend. I use it every time I add or move something.

Thank you for giving feedback on the tips that helped you; other players might benefit from that. :)

I guess you're reading for The Prince now.... ;)

"The Prince" - I've beat on that one a little and looking forward to more.
Unfortunately, I have a large stack of computers waiting for me to fix them...so The Prince is going to have to wait a bit.

I almost got ya, maybe if I had another couple of speed nodes. Maybe I'll try again sometime. Multiple fronts really becomes a chore to manage ;)

Oh! :o Now I see what you mean, you made a second run....

Just 2 seconds! I guess I'm lucky here. I really would have had to get back into this map after 4 months....

Only 8-9 energy?

Wow, then I overbuild a bit at the start, I built 11 and then while I was attacking the creeper I kept building reactors.

Spoiler

You were right; with 11-12 energy from the start I was able to advance even faster as it was easier to create additional blasters on the way and fight at 3 fronts simultaneously.... :)
