Still stuck at 99%, onnis everywhere, been running for 5 mins, moved the omnis around but no cigar! I hate the mire win condition for exactly this reason, finding that last 0.5% is the most frustrating thing in any game I have ever played!

In order to capture and hols some of the mines I used rock burner underneath, wonder if that has caused the problem. Cannons enabled for the omnis though and they are not targeting anything  :o :-[

Yep, that's the problem. :)

I just looked at my map, and looked around.... there's land under the totems that I thought I had removed. You over rock burned.
That's my bad.

It's not possible to burn land under the totems either so using rock burner will lead to a no win situaiton. Bummer. rock burning under the mines is a handy strategy on this map.

PS - can you come over and fish my laptop out of the river? And repair the window it went through? ;)

My pleasure!

Tried again and got completition but you have me beat Svartmes!

Difficult map for speed running as there are two factors which are time drainers - the building of the big ship and the final miring of the land, I think sub-10 mins is not possible, possibly a 12 min.

Fun map in the end which encourages unusual approaches, you can't just throw whips at the problem!

Ah yes I was thinking that rockburner tactics could possibly lead to a sub 10 minute time, but since you tried I'm happy with my time and to have won this map (for now)! Thanks for playing along! :)

QuoteAnyone go the route of using the totems?

Is there any way to win without using totems? I surrounded the middle with everything I had but the omnis would never target the central core thingy. Later, after my great-grandchildren graduated from college, I realized there are leeetle totems on the corners so I lathed them then used the mobile power-station ship to activate them.

In seeing the win condition I decided not to try to rock burn anything, figuring maybe it'd throw off the percentage or the computer would explode.

Overall I loved the map!  ;D
You disagree with this sentence, don't you?

Sorrontis

Yes, I beat the map without the totems. It was faster for me :)

Huh, that's cool to know. I might try this map again later after I acquire some actual skills. Your maps scare me so I have to borrow my kids' stuffed animals to help soothe my anxiety. Pooh Bear says he loves your maps, btw.

Well, I don't know how you got such times. However, I only restarted once. I held the left, was this the easy way?
