I don't really give up. Here's another one for you out there! #Sorrontis #PopUpEmitter #GrumpyEmitter #Spore #Digitalis #NoRunners #NoBertha #AoO
This will likely be my last regular released map. I have some major work coming up, so I'll be reducing my time on CW significantly :'(. I will be back in the New Year regardless. I'll still be around the forums!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :(
Sorry to hear it Sorrontis but good luck with the work! Funnily enough the busier I am at work the more I play this game! :-\
Loved this one, not too many terrible surprises but enough to keep me guessing. Good solid challenge from start to finish.
Unfortunately, its my comprehensive exam. I fail this, I fail out of the PhD program. And I'm so close to being done, I can't afford to make a mistake :)
I'd like to personally thank you for making us a nice easy one as a going away present.
Hurry back - as a 'Doctor'.

Doctor Sorrontis, sounds like a evil genius bad guy name ;)
I'm more psyched at being call Professor X :D

Unfortunately, after that, I still have another year before I can even defend and get the title. It's hard work I tell ya! ;D
Herr Doktor Professor X.
No surprises that as Sorrontis map has surprises. Also no surprise that Dp got an excellent time. But, it is only half as fast as the time by my8024903, a name I don't recognise. Certainly, I could go faster (I build too much energy, not enough beams), but I'm not sure I could complete in 21 minutes. Maybe masses of airpower would tip the balance.
Top tip.

You can nullify half the pop-up emitters (almost) immediately.

I don't know how someone could do it in 20 minutes. Let's ask Alter Old. However, I've heard that older (hacked?) versions might not allow some CRPL to run properly.
I'm resisting the urge to make a map called "Don't load this map" :D
Just replayed for a time of 25 minutes. A time of 20 minutes would be possible with AlterOld skill levels.
I think I could be a better player if I actually spent time playing, rather than making maps :P
i could not do this, too little energy

build a network fast, use the terps to finish building temporary walls to control creeper in the first minute. don't build too high, just enough to keep the creeper from quickly overflowing. that's why I give you 5 terps and 3 cannons. to get you ready faster :)
im stuck
Spoiler
can't kill the creep on the left enough to get close with a nullifier
can;t even get close to killing it.... figured it was just because I took too long setting up, left the game running at 4x while I did other stuff and it's still the same
I must have messed up somewhere or taken too long ?

any ideas/tips ?
Have you used your Artifacts of Odin?
Spoiler
I used both the convert and freeze along with a guppy to take out the timer on the far left in the middle, this stops the waves of creep
fired both, they did.... pretty much nothing.... I have an earlier save, I'll try again ;-)
If I remember correctly, the refill wave occurs every 30 seconds. Pay attention to it, using the 'n' key while paused to give yourself the most time possible.
done it now... glad I made so many saves
it was a fun map
nice to have to try different tactics etc.. I normally just muscle through start to finish :-)
glad you liked it
