#BICKFORDEFFECT #BIGMAP #GOODLUCK One more game in series "THE BIG BICKFORD or Beetle in the Anthill". Very unusual begining (if Opening text will be not visible - see Forum). To get "techs" You maybe need lost CN! :) Enjoy, please!
If Opening Text for this game not visible read it here:
"Hello ladies and gentlemens!
Here is an unusual entry:
This map is a large multi-variant game.
In chess sometimes to defeat need to donate of the figure.
To speed up this game at the begining You may need to use CN as "consumables".
And another point: good time for landing some of CN is very short.
Good luck!"
Again somebody 2 times rate this new game "1" without playing and without any question. :(
It becomes a "good tradition" for my maps ... :)
About hard start:
Spoiler
In central part when AC permit to build one "collector", land CN to creeper area (seems dangerous :D) and get "techs". Then immediately build nullifier near AC-emitter. In process of nullifiing this CN will died. ;) Replace it by one more CN (as consumables :) ) and finish nullifiing of AC-emitter. In place of killed AC-emitter You can put "long relay" and 3 "relays" (at left, up and right side from main "relay"), reach "techs" and move CN up to place become free after getting "techs". ;)
At the same time You can build one CN (2 CN will be need for aim explained befor) and get and load at least one
"pulse cannon" and send it to protect main "long relay". "
Not in your maps only , also two first ratings in my map tri-world multitasking were 1. :o
Edit: And all hard maps actually get bad ratings , it's ok to me. :)

This is not my rate. :)
I always rate maps only if I played and finish it.
And I am not "evil" especially to game-creators, who make CW3 more interesting and better! :)
Really enjoyed this one Yum, there is a lot of potential to do a lot very quickly. My go was full of errors, Alter will be well under 10 mins on this one!

You are always so polite! Thank You for Your rate "9"! :)
I gave it a 10 actually!
Out of interest, can you tell what score people rate your maps?

Yes I can. Very simple. I like statistics.
Befor Your post within 1 days 5 players rate "9" and, perhaps, You are rated after playing or at least today ... :)
Loved this map. However, the game never ends. I've nullified everything, and collected every tech.
Strangely, I had the same behavior with the 2nd map of the series.
thanks for your work though

Thanks for post. I played again this game (with using Bickford effect it need not so long time :) ) and get "end".
Perhaps, You did not find some "techs" because of color of AC? In slots of Your game exist last autosave of "endless position". Can You post screenshot of this picture?
P.S. And question for all who played this game and game "The BIG BICKFORD-2": did You have anything similar ("never ends")?
In another game was similar situation and I posted about it:

Exellent game! Thank You! Enjoyed! :)
But how finish it? I killed all including AC under CN, but...
Please, explaine me. Sorry for question. :-[
Here is my final state :
Spoiler
Damned! I missed the guppy at north west... Still missing something though, no victory yet.
Edit: ah, the AC emitter has to be nullified also.

The AC emitter on the island with the relay - I think it is an AC emitter on top of a regular emitter. Certainly, the first thing that comes out is regular creeper.
Awesome map again, I love to play your well conceived maps. One thing I noticed too is that there is no end to the game even after clearing out EVERYTHING. Nevertheless, I enjoy playing your games not for the sake of winning but for the pleasure of well conceived and constructed game. Thank you so much.
PS. There are several of your games that I cannot get the end after completing.

You either have missed picking up a tech or you need to nulify an AC emitter. Def nothing wrong with the maps!

No. Several times I also faced with the same situation (it not depend my maps or not). And I am very accurate. Perhaps problem in program or communication exist.
Oh, never heard of it before, don't doubt you though!

I posted comments several times in Forum. This "bag" not so often.
Yum, I don't care whether I get or not the end game message, I simply enjoy playing your maps.
Seconded.

Yum-Sama,
This is a golden oldie!
I sorted all the games by "Rating" and am playing them in order.
So far, I am still going at 3:02.
It only took me 45 clock minutes and eleventy-seven restarts.
It's good to have time on your hands and a fun way to use it.
Thanks,
H234

H234 became back H? :D
Thanks for friendly comments!
Interrogatory: Where is the first reference/game for BICKFORD EFFECT?
I can't track down the basic information.
Is it that the Bugs are full of A/C?
I want to start with first one and play through them.
Arigato!
