I'm not being defensive. You're just projecting.
One of the first custom maps I've played. It's tough. I discovered how effective lasers are with this map (and why the carrier has 6!)
Great map! And I love the description. ;)
Mind sharing how you built the shields? Very cool design!
If you look on the wiki, there is a guide to examining map resources, which includes scripts.
I'm stuck on this level.
There are only the 2 right islands left but I can't figure out how to finish.
Am I missing something obvious ?
I haven't played this recently, but if I recall...
As much firepower as possible should be applied to one island. This will reduce the particle pressure inside the shield.
Time this next part of your assault with the cannon emptying (you may want to Omni-bait it.
Park a Hammer across the shield, this will create a breach. Funnel every possible Omni through, and take out a structure. Any will do, it will make future assaults easier. Repeat until standard tactics work. Repeat for the other island.
This will be slow, but should work.
I love the map and i love at how hard it is!
Just played this Map -> came in 4th. Didn't know i could.
Love the Shield Script.
A Challenging and Great Map!!
