[D0m0nik]

Yeah don't worry, I'm all over it! Easier said than done, the first 10 minutes are a real juggle!

[D0m0nik]

Really enjoyed that, thanks for the map. Bit like a DMD but you have to work for it!

[Martin Gronsdal]

great! thank you for playing

[Johnny Haywire]

Yeah, I saw all that nonsense and decided to do things my own way...

Managed this fairly easily (but took a lot longer) on my first attempt. Decided to only use 1 CN and 1 beam. Because who needs more than one beam on a map like this?  :P (Ore mines and forge also, obviously)

Dare ya to remake this map with a 1-beam and 1-CN limit and watch the "1" ratings pour in, lol.

I can see how this could be a difficult map for standard players, but probably a delight for speedrunners. Overall, I enjoyed this map. It was long but pretty relaxing using the "Potato Chip" strategy.

Thanks for the map!  ;D ;D

[Martin Gronsdal]

problem is that you have to beat the map in order to post it. If you understand ;)

thanks for playing

[Johnny Haywire]

Ah, gotcha. LOL. Well, if I get around to it I suppose I could post such an atrocity of a map. Or if you'd prefer I could give you some hints... unless you know the solution but feel it's too tedious?

[Martin Gronsdal]

Hints please

[Martin Gronsdal]

D0m0nik - what processor are you and how many RAM is in your brain?   ;D

[D0m0nik]

I am actually the love child of Bill Gates and Elon Musk, I have never seen daylight, please send help.

[Martin Gronsdal]

I'll send more maps. OK?

[Johnny Haywire]

Spoiler

Spores don't fire at ore mines, sprayers, or forge. Or beams, but that's not really important at the start. So build a lot of mines & sprayers.

If ya need a second hint:

Spoiler

See that 25-spore tower? What if you could somehow... maybe... get some AC there and plant a nullifier? Oh wait, but how would you power it? Hmmm... there's a landing spot here... and another landing spot there... if only you could.. hmm...

When you wrote "1-beam and 1-CN limit" I thought you meant that literally, as in, no other units!


Got it
