Colonial Space Map Discussion / Re: Custom Map #10683: Dealer'...
Last post by The. Destroyer - Today at 05:11:34 AMThanks for all the great feedback everyone. I almost assumed no one liked the map with the low scores given by some people. But now I think the low scores are from people that gave up too easily. LOL
A couple of tips for this map;
- You don't really need to start in the red zone. But it would help to collect the 3 Tech Artifacts as fast as possible. You can either land your Command Node there first to collect the tech and then move to the blue zone to establish a base. Or use a Guppy to land on red and build a few Collectors up to the tech which is a more effective route to take since your Command Node's movement speed is very slow until upgraded by the Forge.
- I deliberately left a gap in the air defences at the bottom of the red zone.
- Use your Bombers to help create a buffer between yourself and the creeper.
- Use the Power Zones left by the enemy after you've destroyed it with a Nullifier. It'll make it easier and quicker to spread out vertically.
- And lastly, it is possible to start on red. However, it will be a very hard battle and you will need to relocate your Command Node quickly to the blue zone once you've gotten a foothold on red.
Good luck everyone!

A boss battle world with 3 phases. This is also the third and final world the Outcast has sent you to in order to retrieve an component. There are two difficulties, and the elite difficulty gives you a 5000 score bonus.

Last post by oldnewby - June 03, 2023, 06:37:52 PMQuote from: D0m0nik on June 03, 2023, 04:24:58 AMI think most people mean 'no crpl' when they say vanilla.Vanilla??? I spent years playing a cheap old game, "Pacific Storm", which had a huge following of game modifiers who spent lifetimes of person hours modifying every element of that game... including making the 3 dimensional images of each ship and aircraft true to life... The game was also a micromanagers dream that sometimes took me 6 months to play... Anyway... Their term for playing the original game disk was the "Vanilla" version...
I think the biggest challenge on this map was working out when and where to fire the singularity.Fun challenege.Spoiler
I found 12 were needed, 4 in each corner and two in-between each corner. They needed to be fired in the seqeunce of 1,4,7,10,2,5,8,11,3,9,12 (singularity placement numbered around the board)[close]
Spoiler
Guess I was still panicked by my #10350 experience... So I just left the "Fire" rate on 50% and used 4 initial corner blasts to be sure my 4 initial singularity "black hole" timers were all OK.. then did 8 equa-spaced clockwise blasts till the creeper flow was failing... Thinking about it... Your plan would have eliminated a lot of time I spent watching the creeper slowly flow back uphill making room for the Nullifier/guppies...

Now I just have to suck-up-my courage and climb back on MG's #10350 horse...
PS:- Your #10676 time was awesome... WOW
