Custom Map #8978: Cursor-04 Thanks to CSM creators!. By: TrickyCorp

They increase it, although I think the way the formula works is that it adds that much to the multiplier.

For instance, if you're already at 2x original strength, a .5 tower would make it 2.5x original strength.

I could be wrong about that... it has been a long time since I played one of these maps. They're really cool though.

Cheers!  :)

You're completely right on the formula.   8)

there is no AC being created at the cursor for me... :o

i have flooded a few AC cursor towers but nothing doing...

any ideas?

Hey, just cuz ya asked I decided to play this map again & see what's up.

When you capture the green cursor emitter building to the right of your starting base, it barely puts out anything. Pretty much nothing, in fact.

Ya gotta flood the green buildings that are shaped like a diamond for the cursor to start generating anything, and at least one or two power 10 towers before you start to notice any effect.

The good news is that it's a lot more like a CSM map, so you can just play it that way until your cursor gets strong enough.

Hope this helps!  ;)

There's a node that weakens both enemy and your cursor towers (not a diamond-shaped one, IIRC it's a blue round one).
If you take it early, this can reduce the cursor emitter to zero - I got into that problem, luckily I was able to flood it with creeper from a neighbouring area and the problem went away.

All in all, a very interesting and challenging map, but I do hate that you have to build up walls in the right places, and quickly enough, otherwise you lose when you notice some creeper is invading your area.
You essentially have to restart, and having to restart because you misplaced a single pixel of wall isn't fun, really.
