If you beat this map...imagine it without shields and AC ;D

There isn't really any reason to use anti-creeper on this map to be honest (I suppose there would be if shields didn't exist) - in theory without shields wouldn't be too too bad (albeit much slower) provided you made sure the gateway only dug one of the cells up (easily possible with use of anti-creeper to block dig packets).

With neither shields nor anti-creeper you could still nulify the gate4way after it sent out exactly one dig packet, but youd have to have built the nullifier on the exact correct frame (but possible).

be very hard, but would take a few tries

What anti-creeper was there to use in the map? I immediately just destroyed the maker in the bottom left it was no use.

When you destroy the drone in the bottom twice (in a short period of time) the creeper goes above 2147M density and overflows into anti-creeper, which can be vacuumed for effectively infinite ore.

Yup, i use my own 'special way of giving you unlimited Ac :)

Well, this sucks. The gateways never sent packets to destroy the X-marked ground, so... I can't do anything.

teknotiss · January 07, 2013, 03:03:12 PM

the top gateway sends a dig packet at 15:00 mins.
hope that helps 8)

i can't understand why this map has bad ratings....

well i must REALLY suck at this game . I cannot figure out how to even start the thing. Use shields no energy for portal, make portal get destoyed.

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger - a lot of experienced players were stumped until Kithros figured out the start.

Spoiler

Based on his suggestions, I started by moving the LS back and forth over the center area.
Built 4 Reactors.
Built shields on the right side, then the left.
Built one Blaster on each side.
Built 3rd Blaster to start taking out the Creeper & build more Reactors.
Cleaned Creeper out of right side, then left.
After that you have plenty of time to build your infastructure and be ready to attack when the terrain wears through.
