OK time for some shameless self promoting :D
What I want to find out here is is you put your 'name' into the code maps how hard is the result ? - who is the hardest ? - is anyone imposable to beat ? anyone a push over or a instant win ?
I'm not that hard but I think I hold my own ..
Xing Large / High
looking forward to seeing what you all are like :D
Mare Large/High
I am a pushover, for the sake of myself, please do not attempt this map, as I am ashamed of how easy it is.
Infinite time, no titan emitters, no surface emitters, drones are 8 health maximum....
And here I thought it would be a badass map with like an 8000000 emitter combined with like 40 750-health drone spam and the strongest emitter is right next to your ship at the start of the map....with infinite phantoms.
Oh why is the world so cruel.
I've been trying some of the more infamous names here - the toughest I've found so far
UpperKEES Large/High - I'm not calling it imposable just yet .. But the main cavern had me on stalemate for over 1hr until I just gave up
Partially off topic - but when pushing toward titan emitters, the trick is to keep 3-4 launchers just in range of hitting the closest creeper to help keep it from overflowing, a few blasters, and *lots* of repulsors. With any extra energy after the creeper isn't overflowing, keep building more launchers (this time aiming farther in, not to keep the creeper from overflowing). Save up all your ore and charge up makers while you're doing this - you'll want to use them when you go for the nullify, and obviously keep upgrading stuff with tech domes (reactor efficiency is probably the most important upgrade in these instances)
Anyway, my map is really easy, there's nothing at all threatening on it with lots of gems available right at the surface. Took me 8:29 to beat on large/high on my first attempt.

Good to see the code map corresponding to my name features a titan without experimentals! :) Too bad it doesn't have a surface emitter....
And Kithros is right: repulsors are the key in building your nullifier close enough to a titan emitter. First I didn't use enough of them and also hadn't saved some crystal energy (which would have allowed me to use more than 60 energy per second), because I played it laid back, but it was still possible to beat it fairly easy, albeit rather slow.

I BEAT YOU!!! (The map I mean.)
Anyways, I didn't use Anti-creeper and never once used repulsars, just did it the simplest way and took out every small chamber first then built a ton of blasters and launchers and blitzkrieged the middle chamber.
It wasn't actually difficult, just time consuming.
BTW, That map was the first fight I had with a titan emitter, and it was fun!
MadMurphy Any setting on this one should be easy. I only played Large / high though.

Yep, although it also depends if you're fooling a round a bit, like waiting for all upgrades or filling the entire map with reactors. I generated about 75 energy, but was only able to use 60, because I forgot I had already spent my crystals. :-\ I bet this map can be done in less than 20 minutes with some planning and multitasking.

Ranakastrasz Large/High - Up-left Gravity of 4.89, Can only build Buildings down, And Naturally, Drones immediately.
Well, I Managed to get a start, Moving the assult ship around, managed to lose 50% of it's health via drones, and got the white crystal, a reactor, blaster, and a few shields up.
I was depressing... 50 unupgraded energy without a single encounter.. and 3 emitters in separate rooms...
and 5.8 right down grav
TonyP2000 Large/High
I am rather impressed with my difficulty. 4 pretty strong emitters, drones, and fields that slop the creeper all over the map and eventually up to your LS.
Though, I am embarrassed to admit, I cannot beat myself yet... :-[

The beginning was difficult, but distract them with drones and it should be an easy map. Loved it!!
Cotters large/high
Took me forever! had 9 emitters... i beat it though... i got stuck and had to build up tech, then cannibalize the space to move forward.. i'd say it was hard.. maybe something like medium for an expert.
regret not using the repulsers..
Discordmerch - Large/High Not too hard, just annoying as I hadn't played with the gravity going upper left and also the build controls were reversed. Finished it in 40 min only because I wanted to mine every bit of ore and use every bit of AC possible.

burguertime large/hard - experimentals, topsy turvy, 97M emitter. tons of phantoms and drones.
Sammygood large/high Wow... hardly any drones, and they are stuck in bottom of map, a few emmiters with max strength of 5m... Normal gravity, build up. This map is just any old plain boring map D:
Try TonyP2000 and tell me what you think.
It's...interesting. ;)
try penguin instead of thepenguin
its much harder
'Emmote' on any setting is pretty easy.
'Emmbrace' (Large/High), my old name, is somewhat more difficult as it has a surface emitter, but it's still quite easy due to the gravity direction - although it's fields can throw you if you're not careful.
It threw me at first because gravity is Up-Left and build direction is Down. Confused the hell out of me.

Not really my user name, but my birth date has these settings:
Setting | Value |
Gravity Direction | Down |
Gravity Strength | 1G |
Build Direction | Up |
Fields | Yes |
Experimentals | No |
Emitter Count | 7 |
Avg. Emitter Strength | 15.9M |
Max Emitter Strength | 90.1M |
Gateway Count | 1 |
Drone Count | 6 |
Avg. Drone Strength | 12 |
Phantom Count | 0 |
I beat the level in just under an hour. It was basically 1 pool with all the emitters. The amount of creeper was extremely high, and required more than 60 energy per second to survive. No experimentals meant getting rid of the largest emitter was a nightmare.
My name is S.H.Bouwhuis, which makes for an easy map. But S.H.Bouwhui (so, without the s at the end) has these settings:
Setting | Value |
Gravity Direction | None |
Gravity Strength | 0G |
Build Direction | All |
Fields | Yes |
Experimentals | Yes |
Emitter Count | 10 |
Avg. Emitter Strength | 128.3M |
Max Emitter Strength | 407M |
Gateway Count | 3 |
Drone Count | 42 |
Avg. Drone Strength | 6 |
Phantom Count | 0 |
This sounds crazy... 42 drones, 10 emitters, and max of 407M!

Katra - large/high Not especially difficult; but required some different strategies because of 5G to top left and variable fields that dump waves of creeper into the sky. Plus having to build upside down means digging virtually every reactor space.
Kamron3 (Large/High) seems pretty easy
Charlie Sheen (Large/High) used to be much harder than it is now.
Ichigo (Large/High) is dead easy. It has a huge crevice reaching down the right side of the map.
Gaara (Large/High) actually looks like it may prove a challenge to newbie/intermediate players. Destructable terrain gives away and allows a gateway at the bottom to reach the surface. And if you wait an extremely long amount of time, a 3rd gateway will pop open to the surface.
Aizen (Large/High) is an easy map. Has an emitter and a gateway right below the surface.
Kamron3 has come quite a long way as a code map since the beta. It used to be an instant-win map with 0 gateways and emitters.
(And yes, these used to be old nicknames of mine)

Surprisingly, those maps are pretty easy, complete opposite of their names. :)
'Hell' is an easy map, but 'Heaven' is quite mean with an emitter of 608.9M.
I don't think this map is possible, because it has a surface emitter of more than 9000K.

You don't have to list all that info, just tell us the map code name and it will tell us everything.
The highest I have seen is around 800 M, can you clarify what the "1G" is?
Don't worry though, if there are surface emitters than they are usually weak emitters because they are at the surface, that is how the map is coded. The strongest emitters are the ones underground...

I will never see the light of day, I will say good bye to those I have lived with, and say my prayers, for even hell cannot stop the creeper. Everyone will be gone, and so will light, the sun will be blotted out by the neverending creeper and I, along with every other living thing, will no longer exist...

If you pirated creeper world, an emitter will land in your room that's so powerful, with each burst, it'll summon enough anti creeper to turn it all back into creeper again. You will have a small moment of false hope... and then tremble before your doom. *evil laugh*

I am safe cuz I never pirated it. I bought it.
But I hope a 1 intensity emitter spawns in my room, that way, even in the inevitable creeper, I may still have a chance.
G = the unit to measure the force of gravity.
1G means the gravity is comparable to the gravity on Earth (so now you know how the Creeper would behave on our little planet).
0G means no gravity at all.
2G means 2 times Earth's gravity; you would feel heavier and the Creeper is pulled twice as much in the gravitational direction.
0.5G means half Earth's gravity; you would feel lighter and the Creeper is pulled half as much in the gravitational direction.
On the moon the gravity would be 0.17G.
On the sun the gravity would be 28G.
He meant it as giga not as in G's but this does help

*shrugs* I guess it's pretty easy to infer from context.
Well, its turns out, I lied. I actually put in TonyP000 (no P :-[ ). The actual code mission for TonyP2000 (Large map/high complexity) is disappointingly easy. Lots of ore; 4 way build; somewhat strong emitter condensed into small spaces; and no real threat to the LS. I still had fun with it though, its just not hard.
wow my map is a failure so easy 4 emitters 3 gateways 12 health drones 31 max drones havent completed though
Well, was a fun map tbh, bit difficult with all the fields and 3 emitters in the first chamber + 8hp and 16 hp drones...aswell as phantom waves.. fun time
