@UgAhgItHurts: First, I apologize for mis-spelling your user name. I still tip my hat to you as I can't get below 1:21. I went back and attempted several variations on 8 collector set-ups. I am a few seconds away from being able to get those. Let's face it, 7/22 is yours. Well done.

The question is how close you can get with that. I need another second, so think it should be possible, but requires watching the packets much closer than I want to. I got 1:18 with a slightly different setup, connect the right side with the city (build from center, you can't make 8 in a line that fast, move the city later--map out from creeper position at 1:16), I just think this could be faster. Nothing interesting to say about the 23rd and 24th.

@AuAhgItHurts: I have attempted your layout many times and reach the same broken path. So are you saying you did NOT get 1:18, but that it is a theoretical lower limit? My best is still 1:21 using 9 collectors.

http://i.imgur.com/HVr4rJe.jpg You have 1:12 to get it built and everything filled. I'm 3 or 4 packets short (en route) which is why I think you or hawk can get it. Was extremely lucky to get 9 collector version done, can't repeat (typo previous, it's 8 collectors).

7/22 NOTE: Any time of over 1:22 will be substantially longer as the most efficient path will have been inundated by creeper at 1:23. I would not have found this path except that hawk45 posted his time, telling me it was possible.

Here is a picture of the set-up that yielded a 1:34 best for me. hawk45 is still 3 seconds faster than my best time. URL: https://picasaweb.google.com/chilesej/Artwork#6038700183019587346

That's the same as in my game. I powered all three totems with score of 9759, corresponding to a time of 1:28. The collector won't be destroyed until 9756 (1:29). 7/21 - 1:31

Anything that connects to that point gets eaten by creeper for me at 1:28/9. Wish we were all playing the same game :) At least I knocked off a few seconds for 6 collectors: http://i.imgur.com/i4aJEDm.jpg

Similar hawk45: My upper right collector is as high as possible in the valley as I took 3 more seconds. So I bridge W-E higher then come down to 1/2 position W of your SAM bridge collector.

Same time, 6 collectors and a SAM. Can see bettering by a few sec that way, but there's probably a better way to connect it... I've tried a few ways but can't do it with 5 collectors, creeper gets one at 1:30.

@hawk45: I assume you went through the NE valley to get to the totem. I was always a few seconds short and had to go around for a 1:46. I'll keep practicing. My electrons are still too slow.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Identical setup as yours hawk45. My best is 1:42 and I can see that maybe getting down to 1:40. Those last 4 seconds are all you.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
7/20 Don't see a connection you can make without a SAM at least, 1:20...I must have missed something huge, I need 9 collectors, a SAM and at least 1:45 :)

1) Play mission until you have 3/4 of the map secured and only one totem left
2) Prepare the line of defense
3) Launch survival mode
4) Get to the last totem
5) Once Odin City starts flying to the portal pause the game
6) DESTROY ALL TURRETS
7) Let the creeper flow...

Yah lots of play once times there. I jumped on the 15th again and knocked off 1.5 minutes. Still a minute shy of yours, but see how that's possible.

7/13 - 14:43 Capping all 5 emitters. @Wargod10: Placing time scores is not spam. The times tell others how hard or easy a level is. For example, if a time of under 2 minutes is posted, weapons need not be built. These comments are THE game forum for this game. Each kongregate game has its own forum directly under the game. These levels are only available for one week so we must be efficient in our comments. We also place screenshots showing new players tips. This is a difficult game - just as English seems to be a difficult language for you.

Drome bombers help- if ur stuck in a creeper stalemate, use it on the most vital bit of creeper gained ground (in which they use to attack u) and they will draw back like curtains being, er, pulled up?

Hah. Update flash and the creeper fills slower :) 2:10 finish on 7/7, would have lost with that run yesterday. Couple different things to try there. 6 minutes on 7/10, meh.

UgAhgItHurts: You should be able to build a circular arc path without moving Odin City. Near the end of the collector build, connect to the center totem and move Odin City due West of the center totem above the tech upgrade. Then turn on the Green Node and move Odin City into the creeper below the West totem. My time was 2:00 minutes. Good luck.

Bit stymied on 7/7, don't see how to finish it in 2. I can guess at what's pretty much the only option, but can get it built in time.
