Another fun map, Martin! At first I thought I'd have to suicide some sprayers, which I vehemently oppose, but there are always 10 ways to see things in a binary world.  :P

Thanks for the map!  ;D

Yeah, I just built up sprayers in the middle, set to "always on" and did what you did... I think I only left 1 sprayer in the base.

Then I let it run while I did a couple jobs around the house, came back after about 1 hour had passed in-game and landed 2 sprayers to shoot in that direction.

Probably not the fastest way to get it, but I'm going for minimal real-life time spent to win a game.  :P

So that's just kinda an obvious way to do it, but your score is going to be horrible so if you care about that kinda stuff you might wanna just set a bunch of sprayers to bomb in a line, one after the other. I imagine that should do it.

And all this trouble because I moved the terp pickup to the wrong spot: when I tried to play through the map before uploading it, the pick up was all the way to the left, past the second emitter. I quickly realized I wouldn't be able to get it, so I placed the pickup to where it is now. I remember to have planned to move it one frame to the right. That obviously didn't go as planned.

Thank you for playing to both

Very interesting map.


But I have a very real question: just HOW could someone get a time of 4:54???

The Korean uses Cheat Engine or some other hack, I'm sure. EA3401 and AlterOld had some insane but real scores.

Check out his score on #9202. There are no power-ups and limited energy, so yeah he's definitely using some kind of add-on. What's sad is his scores aren't that good for using a cheat, so I dunno.

It's intriguing and a great challenge Martin. Getting the Terp took some time but I managed once I had packet speed up so high that the relay I placed near emitter charged in a flash, accepted the Terp then dissolved as emitter creeper spread. How do you get the energy to across the span of nothingness to grab Nullifier? I've added a screen shot to show my work so far.

I suicided about 30 sprayers on the right side, then moved several snipers there to keep the runners from stunning the PZ relay.

Hopefully that clue will help ya figure it out from there.  ;)
