I said: Seriously everyone, if you want to kick this game's butt, watch iMiPi's tutorials. He did Aug 10 in under 6 minutes. He does stuff you'd never think of. @iMiPi: I sent a mortar on a perimeter bombing run for today's mission. Sweet.

@iMiPi: I ran Aug 15 again so a screenshot would be available. Link for spoiler layout follows: https://picasaweb.google.com/chilesej/Artwork#5912550971814786082
@iMiPi: "series of improved goals": the ability to break down the game into smaller, intermediate goals that lead to an incredible time. EXAMPLES: Turn off grey when passing over non-optimal collectors, or keeping the city as near as building units as possible, the correct order of upgrade purchases, etc. Your logic is flawless. P.S. I am surprised that I could ever get a better time than you. It would only be possible on the short games, your long game is incredible.
@iMiPi: It took 6 tries, but I finally got Aug 15 in 1:31 no weapons. The totems activated just before the creeper took out the lower right path. Dare I ask what your time was? This grasshopper wants to learn.
Frosty and iMi (I feel we're on a first name basis): You two are amazing. Even seeing the solutions, I can't get near your times. Thanks for continuing to be an inspiration.
You can make the game as hard as you want. Just impose your own limitations. No pause. No drones. Double speed. No moving the city. You get to choose your own difficulty. :-)
Wow. It's really hard not to hit the PAUSE during the DOUBLE SPEED CHALLENGE on July 29. My time with 1 Pause and not moving the city was 18:42. I need to calm down. That double speed had me making mistakes and losing weapons several times. I may try it again later after my coffee wears off.
CHALLENGE July 29:
1 Don't move the city.
2 No Pause, except to activate upgrade.
3 Double Speed all the time.
I got spanked my first time on this challenge.
