Experimentals

[lich98]

I've been looking for maps to play with experimentals can anyone help me out

[CobraKill]

Good Luck! Large/High

thx

If I remember correctly, 10% of all maps are experimental maps. Not to hard to find... ;)

And if you want some hard ones, just about every map posted in the Impossible Code Maps thread are experimental maps (and just about them all are beatable too :P). Some less impossible then others... ::)

Are all maps with Experimentals 0g with build in all directions?  I can understand the second as that is the best way to get enough energy, but are there any maps that use Exp that have gravity?

[Fisherck]

Nope. All maps that are zero gravity have experimentals and vice versa...

[Kithros]

On low complexity experimental maps still have gravity - but then, on low complexity no map will be even remotely challenging.

[Discordmerch]

Nope. All maps that are zero gravity have experimentals and vice versa...

Is there a game design/balancing reason for this?  Not complaining just something I noticed.

probably noting how much dark beams cost to run

I am not entirely sure, except that it may be to balance experimentals in the map. Zero gravity allow all-build directions (more energy for experimentals), but it also allows the creeper to move faster (as there is no gravity).

Ah, I didn't notice that all-build was limited to zero g, I wasn't making the connection.

[Nemoricus]

That's because all-build isn't limited to 0 G

look run shoe has down-left gravity and all-build.

I'm also pretty sure that there's also maps with 0G and limited build directions.

[Fisherck]

Yeah, there are all-build maps in other gravities. Just not many, but you can find them.

As if multiplying all emitter intensities by twenty-five wasn't "balanced" enough :P

Thx everybody for oyur help
