2nd time playing Loki (Beat it with Thor the first time), and I saw the special message, which I think was awesome. Thanks for recognizing that I didn't build Thor to defeat Loki. I love this game.
that was a hard to beat without the thor!!! but i got screenies if anyone wants some.
yes, that will be fun to see.
After playing some of the custom maps on here, it was actually relatively easy to beat Loki without Thor.
When I played Loki the first time, I already knew it would be possible. I had advanced about 70% at the time Thor was build (I reached the first steps), because I didn't notice the new 10th button to build Thor. :P The incoming spores actually ruined quite some of my defenses. :D (I did built Thor in the lower right corner, outside the walls, so most of it's SAMs didn't help me at that moment). When I tried again I was able to cap all emitters in about 25 minutes. Most of this time I was waiting for the reactors to get built.
It takes FOREVER,doesn't it? Reactors take a long time to get built,even witha lot of speed you can only have so many packets going to something at a time,and last time i did it,i moved a blaster forward and forgot it was holding a whole load of creeper off,and it creamed my defenses.javascript:void(0);

Doesn't take that long. Less than 15 mins for sure.
I beat the game without Thor, but the game script buggered up because I destroyed my half built Thor because I didn't want to wait for it to be built. (And when somebody says they're going to 'personally pilot' something, you DON'T LET THEM DO THAT.)
I connected the totems, everything got sucked in, OPS said yadda-yadda, and then nothing happened. I built the Thor, thinking it would finish the game automatically, but then the CN started firing spores from the left of the screen and I got the 'Thor is awesome' speech. Then nothing!
Here's a hint, don't demolish a half built Thor.
That was weird, I didn't touch the Thor button at all this time.
Are you simply supposed to not get the artifact(s) or what?
you need to download the latest version of the game to get the alternate ending
Roger that, thanks for the info. :D
can anyone post a video about winning loki without thor, beacuase i can't do it.
if you can beat loki with thor you can beat it without thor, otherwise how do you manage to secure a beachhead to get the thor tech in the first place?
Look at my pwnage!

i caped the nexus >:D
with no SAMs
how about a pic?

just first make 2 blasters at gate, than make many reactors and than just make to many blasters?
you need a bit of everything really, constntly bomb the area in front and keep a couple of mortar's around and leapfrog your blasters forward
i started with taking that entire walled off area and on the wall i placed some mortars (there's a few spots) and i used blasters to hold back the creeper from coming in the wall then i slowly built reactors and a bunch of blasters, i suicide-ed the blasters to right outside the wall and pushed forward from there with relays, when i got enough room i build a bunch of blasters and suicide-ed them onto the nexus (as seen in pic) and prayed my drones could hold off the outside creeper for my relays to get to the blasters for ammo, it took a good 5 tries before i got it.
I start with 2 blasters at the gate, plus one on the wall near each end. Then loads of reactors, a bit of packet speed and energy storage, and ten drones. When the base is built then I leapfrog blasters forward supported by drones.
i start with one blaster at gate then one mortar at top and bottom, and i slowly built up until i could get the thor blueprints, after five minutes of trying i got it then built it and won after thirty minutes. had some close times though. how do you get screenshots of the game?

Hit backspace and then look in your Documents folder for a folder named creeperworld_screens. They will be in there.
That was surprisingly easy. I never thought I had it in me.
