Not really difficult, but it will take you quite some time!
This map has potential - to be the most boring map ever. I predict no-one will have the patience to sit here and wait for all those walls to be destroyed.
It was 65 minutes before I fired my first shot. Could have probably done this 5 minutes earlier but walking the dog was more fun than waiting for the walls to be gone far enough.
A lot of walls is an interesting concept, but the least you could have done is made the emitters stronger so there was something to do while waiting.
When I download a map I normally play it several times, this one I can honestly say I will never play again.
Wow, incredibly boring. Compared to this paint drying is intense. Good concept but the emitters need to be stronger or try and place an emitter in the middle of the walls. Putting the walls on a lower level and filling a big pool would be good as well. But the waiting is killing me.
I'm frankly stunned that 3 4 people bothered to sit there for 70 minutes while the creeper eroded those walls.
Heheh, probably the only way to create a map within the 60-120 minutes time frame....

Well, I cooked lunch, went to the store, took the dog for a walk and did some laundry while it was destroying walls. Multi-tasking makes maps like this one just fly past!

or play reaver2010's maps, those can be brutal with creeper intensity.
Well, at the moment this is the only one:

Dethroned; or at least removed from the 60-120min category. Had to play it twice because I missed it by a minute the first time. If I did not have my laptop to let the game run instead of sitting there and watching I would not have even played once. A few minor tweaks and I managed to connect all the totems just under the wire.
If I played again (no chance) I could probably shave a bit more time off, but not much.
OMG! Andrew, you played a map created by somebody else! :o (And what a map! ;))

Oh, I see.... so you are the only one with a map in the 60-120 minute timeframe.... ::)

I play other people's maps, I usually just do not post scores unless I have the new best time; which tends to happen most for maps where the current score is over an hour. If that just so happens to leave me alone in that 60-120min category; well, I doubt I will be alone for long :)

I gave it
a shot (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=3953.0). Without the extensive use of eroding wall (like this map) that is, because it is possible to make a map last for months that way. People were already discussing that in the chat.
Had heart attack, went to hospital., had operation, came home and the walls were still there, Then I woke up and the walls were STILL there.
I think I'll take the heart attack
