Well, this is a tight squeeze. Good luck, it's a tough one.

I am sure there is some stupid little trick to this map but honestly the micromanagement that seems to required is making this map the worst map I have played to date. I can't count how many times I have had to rebuild ships. It is just not a fun map for me

Thanks for making it but honestly not having any room to maneuver just makes it an exercise in rage quitting

"...an exercise in rage quitting"

Fair point.

So, micromanagement is a no-no for you chwooly. :D Thanks for playing.

So far this and map 47 are the only 2 maps I have not beaten, I have enjoyed every other one you have made and I appreciate the time you invested in making them.

Chwooly, not sure if you mean to but your posts sometimes come across a little aggressive and possibly even rude.

I do agree this is a very difficult map though and it certainly won't be for everyone. In fact it will be for a very small number of people but there does need to be maps of every level of player and as long as someone can beat it then it is a positive contribution to the game.

I personally cannot beat this map at this sitting but I will not doubt be back for another shot!

The stupid little trick:

Spoiler

Don't start at the bottom. There's somewhere more important to start.

Spoiler

That cannon is quite destructive, don't you think. It would be a shame if the Particulate lost control of it.

Fun map! Took a couple of tries to get started but now I'm just stuck at the end. All six ships lined up attacking the particle flood within inches but I cant seem to knock enough of it back to get a shot at the emitter:/

If you're there. Pause. Remove some Amp gems from tech, and place them on the ships that will use them best.

I'm surprised I'm currently at first place on the highscore with only 3 people on it, I honestly did not have that much trouble with this map. It looked ridiculously hard at first but was a pretty straightforward march. I guess most people give up early as seeing all those particles can be pretty daunting.

Spoiler

The cannon to me was a no-brainer, always look for the best starting position.

Imho this map kind of highlights one of the shortcomings of this game though. Even though I now have about 80 hours playtime in this game and judging by the scoreboards am one of the better players out there, there's still so much about this game I don't really understand. For example the emitters can seem random at times. I don't know how powerful they are and when or why this value changes. I hope Virgil will add mouse-over info text, like with the emitters in cw3, in upcoming patch.
Sure I could probably read up about the specific mechanics in the wiki or here on the forums but I don't feel that one should have to (and I never did in the cw games), imo everything you need to know should be in the game.

Unfortunately I have never mastered the art of communication with others, It is not my intention to be rude or aggressive. I just type it the same way I would say it.

I am not sure what I can do to change that perception at this point.

No worries mate. I could care less if you were a little aggressive, as long you weren't insulting. :D

Some of my favorite maps in good ol CW3 were the ones I tried to beat dozens and dozens of times. There is quite a bit of satisfaction in figuring out that one trick to beat a map. Equally impressive if you manage to stump so many people!

Thanks, And just for the record, By stupid little trick I meant some thing that was obvious and I was not smart enough to figure out. But I do see how that comes across rude online.  :o :o
