If the Blue Eyes of Happiness are your friends, the red ones of the Dragon are not. A breathless battle in scope and true colors that will make you feel like Saint Georges.

I lost the forge because there was a drop of creeper where it started to build. Would have been nice if I could have built another. Otherwise good battle.

Hi, thanks for the message. You have a pretty good score with a losted forge ! (that's why I dedicated my previous map to you and some others top incredibles players).

Yes of course, an other forge would have been more safe, but i think this map would have been too easy that way. Maybe I am wrong. It's quite difficult to make surprizing, funny and playable maps.

I played again. First time I took over 90 minutes.

Totally stumped.  I can't find a place to build a base, everything comes under attack too fast.

I started maybe 20 times untill I find good place for CN, but visibility of this place not so good!  :)

Come on, Loren Pechtel ! there is enough room on this map for Napoléon's Army !

There are at few  ways to start this map, here's 2 :

safe play :

Spoiler

middle platform, canon, collector for energy, nullifier to spore tower for pz, beam....
[close]

speedrunner way :
Spoiler

try to nullify some blue eyes to see what they do.... and then try to think like ea3401...
[close]

Thanks for playing this map

One of the blue eyes can be nullified to get a forge.

Completely missed this map, just gone back to play it. Anyone got any ideas on how Alter and EA got the time down so much? I can't see it at all.

It is usual way at list for ea3401. He always wondered me in CW2.
Maybe he has a magic script for score table?  ;)

I'am surprized too..  When I made it,  I expected 15 minutes minimum for the "killer" players who found the mysterious way... not 3 !  >:(
