Good Morning MG.
Just starting my day and noticed that you have managed to already garner three "rage quit 1 votes".
Nice job!

As soon as I quit getting my butt kicked in that Island map, I'll come back here for a second kicking.
You and PH three days in a row. What luck.

Thanks for the fun.

Haha, thx for playing!

well, this one has me beat! :o

Spoiler

I can get all but the bottom blue marker and the message - I found the bottom blue marker needs to be nullified but I can't see how to terp + nullify before being overwhelmed. Even tried filling up the CNs with AC (over 9000! each) but still too much.
I had an idea that you could terp up some level 10 areas, dump out all the AC, and then wait for things to settle below the level 10 height, but even that didn't work out! Haven't tried using a ton of mortars, but I don't think that would work either - not enough power, and not enough time before the digitalis is gone

Go for all out war!

I wont say too much as I know MG likes to sit back, stroke his big white cat and enjoy our suffering however:

You are correct on energy and AC storage, you are wrong on mortars!!

I have a dog :) but the suffering part is correct ;)

Weasee · January 20, 2022, 07:40:23 AM

So I prayed for guidance - and the answer came from the heavens!

D0m0nik · January 20, 2022, 07:41:13 AM

I knew it! I've really enjoyed these last couple of maps, my feeble mind can't handle your complex puzzles but I do love a good battle!

Martin Gronsdal · January 20, 2022, 08:06:55 AM

Would anyone care to give a short report on how you approached this?

Helper · January 20, 2022, 10:06:06 AM

My approach is kind of straight-forward.
I'm waiting for some Spoilers from the D man, then I'll give it a go.

Is that the kind of report you're looking for?
:)

D0m0nik · January 20, 2022, 10:08:49 AM

Yeah sure.

Spoiler

Forge, reactors, 3 nulifiers
Take out the 4 nests.
Bunch of snipers, 5 bottom right and 5 top right
Collect top right tech via left islands. Build loads of ore mines.
Upgrade everything max.
Send CNs back into space when full of AC until energy and ore storage upgraded to 50.
Fill 3 CNs with energy and AC
Take out emitter and collect 3 tech.
Build about 40 sprayers and 40 mortors and bombs away!

My approach was exactly the same, with one difference: it wasn't bombs away at the end.

I prayed

That set up in the pic made short work of it! I think i could have gone earlier, poss sub 10 min.
