Good map. Envious of you high scorers - don't know how you did that since you have to put a relay/collector in the creeper pool to support blasters.

Dead easy - follow the normal rules of deferred creeper engagement.

Understand that if you move fast enough, the creeper is never going to get out of the walls.  So build a collector ring around the lower part of the map, optimizing for maximum green space.



After you have surplus energy build the two lines (one line on the long side may actually be enough and account for possible improvements over my score) up to the top.  At the top build a few mortars to put the creeper back in its place.  Spam 6 blasters and drop them into the pool of creeper, while they are holding the creeper down, build the relay in the pool and from there it is easy sailing.
