Desc:
WARNING VERY HARD Skars and Lia are shot down to a planet unknown to them but it seems the Loki had it all setup. 3 sleeper node, multiple artillery and a whole sleeper fleet is arriving at the crashlanding. Will you survive this incursion or shall the Loki annihilate Humanity's last chance of survival? #Bugs Known - Final 3 drop-off units sometimes don't spawn - UFO emitters don't spawn - Sleeper Nodes creating multiple forges #Sleeper #Heavy Orb Artillery #Mortar Towers #Countdown #Dropoffs

This map took 4 days to complete. I will provide an easier version in the future but for now deal with this. There is a fail condition so if you losing your middle area units then you lose.

Not posting hints this time

Next map will not be a survival map.

Ok, maybe I'm stupid.
But there are totems all over the place,
there are even stacks of Aether to syphon.

but no forge?

Forge will come in later as more tech arrives at your CN.

For some reason my time is 0.1 slower than everyone elses so for the first time ever I am the slowest on the leaderboard! Feels strange down here!

I found this map a way too easy to be honest, there are so many PZs that you really can't go wrong. A couple of snipers on PZs, mortors and beams on PZs and nothing can get close.

HA! I'm not used to having a faster time than Dom!  :o :o

I agree with Dom, although I wouldn't say this is an easy map, just too easy to be "difficult". There's a lot going on, and you'll have to endure about 100 annoying pop-ups of "Hey, you just found xx unit..." but if you can get through all that nonsense, it's a fairly decent map.

I do think it might be possible to kill at least one of the enemy CN's - I started an attack run with only about 10 minutes to spare and got pretty close with my wave of AC and then the game was over. It would be nice to not have a timer on this map and actually have to kill the Sleeper nodes.

All things considered I think it's a pretty decent Sleeper battle. If it didn't have a timer and didn't have the annoying runner-things that pester your base but aren't really a threat, I think it could be a great intermediate-difficulty Sleeper battle.

Thanks for the map!  ;D
