Looks like quite a challenging map... I have no idea where to begin though... I can successfully avoid the original Phantom, and after that I wait until the Creeper->anti-Creeper conversion, but even still, I can't figure out how to 'open' the second room... any hints?

Great level!  This is in my top 5 favorite maps of all time.

The explanation for the downvotes is that it's on the difficult side; you can't just create a bunch of dudes and send them in.  You have to plan your attack.  I'd upvote this map twice if I could.

Dont nullify it, you dig away, then come back and nullify it, after making a infinite AC source :)

[PMouser]

how to keep gateway from killing the capulse?

[Angel]

You dig as far away as you can from the gateway, move your LB, and the phantom wont kill the capsule.

Hello.  First off, I have enjoyed the map.  It was a constant challenge.  I only have one issue with it.  It's unbeatable...  The Ore Rig is on an indestructible rock.  I cannot collect it.  Perhaps an oversight?

Before you make the "unbeatable" claim, have a look at the score table. 29 people submitted a score. That means at least that many people beat it.

When I look at the map download page, I see a reference to a "dig gateway." That leasds me to surmise that one of the gateways will issue dig packets. Dig packets will remove terrain marked by a blue "x' - even undiggable terrain.

I suggest you loook closely at the map again and see if there are terrain blocks marked with a blue x. If so I suggest you revise your strategy to make the map beatable.

Good luck.

I see.  I didn't notice the blue x.  The graphics are a little difficult for me to see.  I'll check it out, thanks.

if i'm not mistaken, i have to let the first gateway alone.
But everytime i open the next room i die.
How to avoid that?
