This one was a tought one. I had to take 3 starts until I figured out the best way to do it. Then I was down the other side almost to the last emitter, but I just couldn't leapfrog enough blasters and build a collector in time.

Then I accidentally used one blaster as a relay for a collector! Lol, I didn't know you can do that. After realizing that, it was quite easy to finish. Total time 43:28.

But good fun maps, keep the challenging ones coming!

what do you mean with this, i really don't understand it, and i tryd it but it doesn't work.

If you try to build 1 collector and then an blaster ,
then an collector from the blaster again ,
you'll se that the blaster works like an collector .

I would batter say that one normal building (blaster, mortar, sam, drone, nuclear plant, speed, storage) can work as connection between two network buildings (collector, relay). This is logical, but usage is not necessarily obvious (this can for example used to double speed creating chain of collectors by help of temporary connection via blaster).

i now that but as a relay? relay have longer connections. i thought it has a normal collector line not a relay line.

In normal discussion I may use relay as synonym to connection and I think the same goes for post you mentioned in the beginning.

If you dont move the tower ( attack )
It will also allow relays to connect too .

But if you move the tower , you need to place an collector there .
Dont remember if you can build another attacking tower there ,
but an collector does , and it fast to build if you have enought power .
