I encountered a couple of bugs during my playthrough, though I don't know if the first one is a bug or a feature.

When I destroyed the spawner for the new Saucer unit, the ERNs that it had destroyed respawned in their original location, but were buried with a seemingly random negative %.  The center one was buried at -148%, the north-west most one was at -159%, and one a little to the north-east of the Sleeper Lab, up on the helix itself, respawned buried at -76%. Excavating them took longer as it had to increase to 0% before continuing up to the eventual 100% excavation. It did cause the next saucer from a new saucer spawner to take longer to excavate the buried ERN, which gave me a chance to hunt it down again.

The other bug I encountered was during my final push on the Sleeper Lab. I was bombing it with both normal and AC bombers, and randomly, the game would freeze for about 3 seconds, after which all creeper on the map vanished before the Sleeper Lab produced a fresh coat of crimson creeper. I know that producing creeper and crimson creeper upon taking damage is normal, but the freezing and removal of all creeper on the map doesn't seem intended.

Other than that, I enjoyed the map. Airships do make it a bit easy, once they get set up, and pro-active excavation and storage of ERNs, plus covering the Saucer spawner with a machine-gun Rocket (ERNed Rocket instantly reloaded by a M-Rift right beside it) kept the super weapon from going off. Guessing from the name, it causes the creeper blobs to rain from the sky? I didn't get to see it, and the countdown ends when the Saucer spawner is destroyed.

( dont know if I jsut suck but I dont se what is "easy" about this...

Like I placed the rift lab in the top right, placed with lots of work the towers and such all over the map.

and not even all the towers out of the top right are activated and already all kinds of enemy units pop up out of nowhere in the middle and start shooting eggs all over the world, ruining everything.

I dont see how to do this -.-

This map makes me really angry.


I dont see nothing "easy" about this.
