Not hard just takes a while some minor shortcuts are kinda hidden in game. Someone will probably find a major one though.
Hey, this is really a nice map with a lot of different ways to victory!
I really wonder what you meant with minor shortcuts ;)
Thanks for the map!
Greetings from The Shire!
I thought i was doing so well with my 8-ish minute run, and someone poster a 2.5 minute run? wow
share your trick please?

LOL! That "someone" has been finding unfindable ways to beat maps for as far back as I can remember. I haven't started this one yet, but it's always a treat to figure out how he did it.
Some early evening fun coming up.

i imagine there is some singularity and a guppy action going into Alter Olds score...
this is a great map RB, cheers dude!
some stiff competition for 2nd/3rd/4th and 5th places too! ;) 8)

How about under 1-minute? :o
I am SO not used to beating Alter Old's time... nor am I going to assume this will last ;D
Ok, so I hate pausing. Almost as much as I hate using the solution I came up with. Alter Old is going to kill me at some point, I know. I'm getting a new alarm system and 3 doberman pinschers just in case. And I don't expect my score to be #1 for long. If you beat my time after reading my spoiler, please at least have the kindness to let me know that my clue led you to a better strategy.
Spoiler
I did not use a singularity
This solution took me at least 40 minutes of trying different things... All for a 1-minute map. As much as I hate that kind of effort-to-result ratio... in some weird way it feels kinda good.
Thanks for the map, RB! ;D
Ок, I have incidentally read through this topic. Johnny Haywire, you big well done! It was necessary to recollect already forgotten technics.
Now I pay more attention to CSM maps when there is time. Nonetheless...

Wow. I mean "Wow" on so many levels.
First and foremost, I expected you to be able to figure out a way to beat my score. But... wow, 24 seconds? :o :o Amazing. Simply amazing, good sir!
Secondly, I'm humbled and honored at the same time. Thank you so much for the honorable mention ;D
You have a savant-like ability to see solutions that would elude even most Mensans. Grats on the high score!
I figured you were busy inventing some sort of cutting-edge hydrogen cell or maybe even working on a quantum drive or maybe a molecular transporter device... and that's why my high score had lasted so long. By the way, if you ever do finish such an invention, please let me know! ;)
Thanks for taking the time to post this amazing score... and thanks again to RB for the map! ;D
