This map is incredibly difficult and nearly impossible to beat. Are you up for the challenge?

Most fun I've had playing a map in a long, long time.

I didn't realize I enjoyed maps like this, but apparently I do :D

That was fun, and I learned something about spores and beams today.

Thanks for the positive feedback.  This is my first attempt at creating a map and I'm glad you liked it  :)

I'm considering making more like this.  Let me know if there's any specific strategies or ideas you'd like to see implemented in the next one.

[mmh]

Great map!  :D

This takes some thought but it's not nearly impossible.

I really want to see a video of Alter Old!

Great map, I was really surprised how enjoyable it was. Getting the first few moves right is critical, after that it's mostly about moving things around due to the lack of space.

I initially worked hard to keep a beam alive and fully charged but it turns out it's not really needed. A blaster is much more useful for clearing the landing pads once a spore has hit. Once you get a beam in the bottom right PZ though it's game over for the creeper.

I had to do a couple tries before deciding on a strategy. This is the only map I've ever played where I made zero collectors.  :P
Very challenging and just like solving one of those 50-step puzzles.

I forgot how I solved this puzzle, so that the new time (on video) better than the old ... but worse newest : ).

Wow.  Super tight.  Thanks for posting that!  Everything is so logical.  Makes me realize how many mistakes I made in my own strategy!

Thank you Alter Old. That was great to watch. Please post more of your videos. I learned a lot watching you.

Wow Alter Old, I'm impressed! I'll try to give you more of a challenge with the next one! Thanks for showing us a few tricks  :D

That's the first time I've ever got the "Victory!" message while my command node was drowning in hostile creeper. =D
