South west form Chinese letters that mean you like to s-d-mise hamsters and crickets

[Loren Pechtel]

Is this a trick map or what?  I don't even see a viable starting point.

[rennervate]

no Loren - no tricks - nothing hidden...
u got the tools - use them :-)

of course that is intentional and that is also the truth

Maybe you could leave some hints without spoiling everything? I'm really bad at these type of maps.

I played this map and have determined that this is a lie, there is no way to cross the digitalis to get the final emitter, having only 1 guppy means you can't supply enough power to clear the digi and even using power zone relays it is too far to bridge. Once you move the 1 guppy you so graciously give we lose to forge since there is no other way to power it. So this is an exercise in futility, If you are trying to suck the fun out of a game this map succeeds.

Cheers

Just because you can't obviously figure out how to solve the map doesn't mean you should be rude.

Spoiler

the elevated bug nest has ac. start the chain reaction and wait until you can craft a landing platform with the terp

For the rude guy:

Spoiler

if the guppy is lost - you build a new one. insanely tricky

[close]

Spoiler

you can power the forge from one of the pz. indecently tricky

[close]

Spoiler

you can clean the digitalis with air units... that's so absurdly tricky

[close]

Spoiler

you use a terp to get to the last island on a pz... that's questionably absurdly tricky

[close]

@chwooly: reading this makes me really wonder what's going on with you

I DID IT!!! almost 4 hours of hardcore play. loved since start, when pressure from 15 spores raining on you turtling without energy almost gave me heart attack. great map, scored 10 of course. loved ending trick also. if mid game harder would be even better, but i feel it would be hard to design. anyway i feel your best map so far. great stuff.

Aargh too impatient I guess. If you stop and take a moment (or more) to ponder why certain "tools" are available everything else logically follows. Thanks!
