This map in no significant way differs from its lookalike predecessor. (#8600)
Yes, the added emitters towards the top cause a minute increase in time required, but the same tools and the same strategies achieve the same overwhelming victory in the same manner.
Simply put, giving the player almost-infinite energy AND unlimited Berthas on powerzones AND monster AC ability AND huge research capacity is simply is too overpowered.
Yeah, I mostly agree with Marvin here... the only thing I disagree with is that this one takes more time to finish. I actually finished this one in a little less time, and that's with me forgetting to hook up all the totems (I missed one). Other than that, he's exactly right - at the very least, if you don't want people to finish your maps in under 5 minutes, you might want to not include an inhibitor. But please don't just remake this same map without an inhibitor... I think two one-way maps are enough.
I mean, I don't really mind the inhibitor. I'd prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around. ;)
I predict that Alter Old can do this map in under 3 minutes. Obviously, you could do it in even less time by cheating but I think sub-3-minute times are possible with some smart tweaking.
Thanks for the map! ;D
I agree with both comments above.
this map could also benefit from 2-3 more air exclusion zones and terrain near the inhibitor that would forbid landing there with the command node. Then, this would be a much longer fight.
