My HQ was hijacked! Reappeared in the starting area

Increased energy range lets you build omnis on the other side of the wall which can then preempt problems - rapid advance

Yep, it's for preventing players to go on an early HQ Adventure. After 4 mins this is released and the HQ can spawn and go everywhere. [Not recommended]

Yes, good thinking. I didn't try it yet but i it's good if players are inventive and think of different ways to play a map.
Seeing your times those early Omni rushes gives you a benefit in time.
I used my first 2 AmpGems on Mine Production Increase and BuildSpeed Increase.
Nice Job RnR !!

The energy mine distance upgrade exploit is particularly effective in your Maze 2 map. I was able to do the map sections out of order.

Yeah, that Omni Pickup to clear the second part you can reach with Omnis.
I think in the other maps there are also oppertunities.
Feel free to roam with Omnis where you can :)

Tried again without the early omni-rush. Can confirm this is not the best strategy for this map.

First amp-gem on energy gives a faster time.

Welcome to the forum.

In order to get your fleet past the barriers, it is necessary for the structure regrowing the Struc (the pointy thing at one end of each line) to be destroyed. However, you cannot do this directly. You must instead destroy or flip certain Emitters. This will cause the desired destruction.

If you are not running the latest version of the game, certain scripts will not run, breaking the map. I believe that someone with this issue completed this map, but the following one proved impossible. If this is the case, updating the game should help.

Thanks GM for filling in.

And some info for Taodragon08
Spoiler
The structure makers get destroyed by Picking up or destroy Units.
That will be in all the maps. Usually it is a unit at/near the end of a structure line.
For example -> in this map the first 2 structure makers are destroyed by picking up the Omni Pickups near the end of the 1st and 2nd line.
The 3rd one is destroyed by destroying the Enemy ShipSpawner.

If you have questions, just ask.
Good luck!

No problem.

Never intended, mostly works.
An Amped MazeMolester [or 2] can do a lot of damage and with some big ships you have the aid of friendly emitters.
