Snowskeeper: Are you saying that just in the case of playing for low times? As someone playing primarily for map dominance, I can't think of any significant cases where turning off weapons or giving up a few units was prevented by anything other than my own stubborn refusal to surrender territory to the creeper (certainly not enough to cripple my network).

Dlugopis: As there are 7 maps available, it would be helpful to all of us if you could reference which map you played. Most of us default to (month/day hyphen n time comment) In this way we can learn from each other. Thanks for your input. :-)

Add-on to iMiPi's post: if you're killing too much Creeper, you've probably screwed yourself over; it's very difficult to reduce the size of your network without crippling yourself. In that case, the best thing you can do is try and cover some more area with Collectors (reactors take too long to build, relatively) and hope for the best..

@jfing12 let me guess, you tried to build many reactors at the same time. first you need to have enough energy to build them. do it one after the other, not simultaneously. watch your energy management: collection-depletion-deficit. when you have 1 or 2 deficit for a few seconds, that's ok, but when deficit builds up and up for a long time then either you're building too much stuff or you're killing too much creeper.

I should have been quicker on the draw for a screenshot; that's only the second time I've got a perfect position for warping out (Odin City sitting directly on the departure point before the totems charged).

Boogienightz: You can land Odin City in the creeper for a long time while it fills the final totem. Just watch the damage meter in the center of Odin City.

Move the city upper right. Build 1 blaster and several reactors. Then expand West using whatever weapons you believe to be the best combination. Move Odin City a 2nd time to connect to the final totem on the West when you get close. You do not have to connect to the final totem with a collector. Use Odin City to connect the Western most totem to a blaster.

1/2 - 12:36 No drones or mortars. I'm sure the big boys will be sub-10. Criggie, any valid comment is never stupid. We all have had to learn this game. It is simple in play, yet complex in its subtlety. Keep striving.

January 2 2015 is a pig - I did it in 33 minutes by putting the base in the top right, but stopped to build a morter half-way there. Needed three SAMs by the first spore attack. From then on its power control and move your morter back and forth to attack both sides while building enough reactors.
I'm sure someone out there can do it in under 10 minutes and then this comment will look stupid.
