To postpone the turning point for a map (the moment that you just know you will win), I sometimes use stacked emitters to make the same emitter seem to emit more creeper after a certain amount of time.
To handle this in a nicer and more convenient way, it would be great to have the option to specify an increase (or even decrease for certain situations) of the intensity per indicated unit of time. This could also result in turning an emitter off completely (and turn it on again when you still stack them ;)).
Could make for some randomized gameplay. You have this single weak emitter behind you capped, but then suddenly it bursts out with a much higher intensity that 1 blaster cannot handle...
Hmmm, I actually prefer a linear increase. Stacking them could create the result that you describe however (which is already the case).
that could be in CW2
I'm creating a map; The One, one emitter but it's get stronger and stronger. (use multiple emitters on one tile)
Emitters that turn off after an interval (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=954.0).
I mean gradually, like a negative increase.
That would be a great idea. I had to use multiple emitters in one of my
maps to increase the difficulty over time. An emitter that could gradually
become stronger would make for better gameplay.
Great Idea, would realy help my futer map series...

You don't, but a 0 emitter will swallow creeper.
