Am I the only one who can't seem to get the ERN Forges working? Even if I disable supply to all of my missiles, they never get any packets sent to them.
Edit: Scratch that, I'm an idiot. I thought they used Redon, not Arg.

How did you fix them? I've got a factory full of arg, I've toggled all the unit/armed/supply options all on and off on them, and they're not taking any arg at all.

They are using Liftic, not ARG,. so you need to take the Greenar mothers up at the front lines before you can stark making ERN.

I liked this, and had literally no lag. I'm not sure why it has so many negative tags,. they were not accurate at all.

Somebody post a video. I can't get past around 2 minutes before losing everything.

It took me a bit to get an account and get logged in.  Hi!  I am the author of the map.  In hindsight, I should have been more careful to check for text when I was changing default things.  Yes, the ERNMakers require Liftic to make ERN, even though it says ARG.

How to get past 2 minutes?  Make a line of snipers across the narrow width of the map.  Follow that up with a line of missiles.  By the time those are built, you should have the resource area built and you should also be built up to the ern makers.  I actually place my riftlab at the ernmakers and build back to the resource area.  I hope this helps!  I should have my playthrough of the map on my channel this week.  I am The Original BvF.  :)

Thanks for the tips! I'll work on it. I was trying to get the airship going early on but I lose the bases just as it comes online. Looking forward to the video!
