no tricks, Ore-only, modest spores. Play for time!
Those large payloads are brutal!! On my 4th restart!
if you don't like things
Spoiler
get rid of them ;)
;)
Yeah don't worry, I'm all over it! Easier said than done, the first 10 minutes are a real juggle!
Really enjoyed that, thanks for the map. Bit like a DMD but you have to work for it!
great! thank you for playing
Yeah, I saw all that nonsense and decided to do things my own way...
Managed this fairly easily (but took a lot longer) on my first attempt. Decided to only use 1 CN and 1 beam. Because who needs more than one beam on a map like this? :P (Ore mines and forge also, obviously)
Dare ya to remake this map with a 1-beam and 1-CN limit and watch the "1" ratings pour in, lol.
I can see how this could be a difficult map for standard players, but probably a delight for speedrunners. Overall, I enjoyed this map. It was long but pretty relaxing using the "Potato Chip" strategy.
Thanks for the map! ;D ;D
problem is that you have to beat the map in order to post it. If you understand ;)
thanks for playing
Ah, gotcha. LOL. Well, if I get around to it I suppose I could post such an atrocity of a map. Or if you'd prefer I could give you some hints... unless you know the solution but feel it's too tedious?
Hints please
D0m0nik - what processor are you and how many RAM is in your brain? ;D
I am actually the love child of Bill Gates and Elon Musk, I have never seen daylight, please send help.
I'll send more maps. OK?
Spoiler
Spores don't fire at ore mines, sprayers, or forge. Or beams, but that's not really important at the start. So build a lot of mines & sprayers.
If ya need a second hint:
Spoiler
See that 25-spore tower? What if you could somehow... maybe... get some AC there and plant a nullifier? Oh wait, but how would you power it? Hmmm... there's a landing spot here... and another landing spot there... if only you could.. hmm...
When you wrote "1-beam and 1-CN limit" I thought you meant that literally, as in, no other units!
Got it
LOL! I can see how you might think that. That's why I tried including the "Ore mines and forge also, obviously" thing, but I forgot to mention "sprayers". :P
