How to pick up the tech on the right? The distance from the PZ to the right landmass is one pixel too far for a PZ relay, and I cannot find anywhere large enough to move the CN to.

9x9 spot to the south east of the lower air exclusion zone on the right landmass dude!  8)

Thanks - I think I mistook the grey for void

There aren't enough people that are making maps so it is hard to post comments when you don't want to discourage anyone. But my God this is mind numbingly boring.... How does anyone find Build, Pause, Move, Pause, Build, Pause Move, Pause, over and over and over and over again fun or interesting?

They approach it like a chinese puzzle piece. not an action game.

The same sort of mental adjustment was needed to gain appreciation of the CSM maze puzzles, and look at how successful those are.

agreed, some map styles take a bit of a mental gear change, i like(d) the CSM maps, but the sheer number of new units in them make them less fun now, too much random and luck involved, not as much problem solving.

i think in gaming sometimes less is more, unlike heavy metal or techno mind you!  ;)

I read the comments, and decided to try this again, even at 4x and attempting to make the mind switch I just can't do it. Unlike the CSM maps, And I do agree there are an overabundance of upgrades/units, I just can't get into the pause, build, pause, move, die, pause, build, pause, move, terp, die, mind set needed. I very rarely pause any maps CSM included so having to constantly pause just doesn't work for me. And playing at 4x does require pausing much more then at 1x. And I do agree with sometimes less is better. There are a few maps where I would have liked a couple of PZ bertha's or especially the forge but even with out those most maps are not a slog from start to finish and this was.

Anyway Happy Thanksgiving to all the US players
