The sleeper is back, and this time it has a flooder, a hyper spore tower, and corrupted totems to help it. Take advantage of the anticreeper containers and the giant laser, and defeat the sleeper and its new allies. #Sleeper #CRPL Credits: Telanir: Created the sleeper and all of its structures. mike1011031: Created the corrupted totems and the giant laser. Hubs: Created the hyper spore tower. The flooder and the anticreeper containers are my own creations.

I know this is an old map but hey, if you like Sleeper maps this is a really decent challenge!

The spores are pretty excessive, even for my taste... so you might want to figure out a way to take out that custom spore tower right away, and you might even be able to use the PZ as a nullifier or something useful.  :o

If Running Rat is still around... thanks for the map!  ;D

@Johnny Haywire
Thanks!
Making a guppy turned out to be too slow for me, but a more... directy approach worked beautifully!

I couldn't leverage the PZ because the spore built a cannon that took out the nullifier, but without the spore, the flooder didn't generate enough to be a real threat and I could use a standard tactics.
I'm not sure if the sleeper's cannons ignore walls, or it randomly got built in a spot where it could shoot through a diagonal. Probably the latter.

So don't count on the PZ being useful, but it's not a catastrophic failure if it isn't.

Wow, this was an old map four years ago. What does that make it now, ancient?

I do enjoy sleeper maps. Wish the AI was a little more intelligent though.
