Riddle me this, Batman.
Has anyone figured out how to take out those two 15x Spore Towers before they fire off?
(Asking for a friend.)
Thanks,
H

Spoiler
the runners in the left one got ac inside....
As I don't play cw3 at the moment, I can't say anything about this map... BUT your map names make me laugh ;)
I guess, no one outside of Germany, maybe Austria/Swiss, knows Franz Eberhofer ;D ;D ;D

Greetings Bilbo! You and your maps are sorely missed round here! :D

Build 60 collectors, build 2 guppies, build 2 nullifiers, job done with time left for a nice cup of tea :P
One trick I use for guppy maps is to build a guppy (or two) and once it sends stop resupply and build a new guppy (or two). In the early game guppies are in effect a single use unit. They can be recharged later if needed.
:D Sorry, but in fact, I'm not that far away - but CW4, you know ;)

My bad. I was talking about the 2x15 that are inside the rectangles.
I was able to get the 15x & 18x that are a little higher and on the outside border, but took way too long to attack to get the PZ Relay.
Re-starting yet again.
Maybe I'll beat on that PH map some more.
Thanks,
H
PS - I think tek is going to love the Collector symmetry on the base.
Serves me for being cheeky :P
Good morning.
Cheeky is good. Gave me a chuckle.
I'm starting again this morning.
If I get the first two minutes right, I'll post a screen capture.
I managed it once, but neglected to 'save'. Argh.
Pictures attached for tek's enjoyment.
Screen grab @3:26.
I managed to get 14 targets down, and think that is the max at the start.
My game play after this is pretty sloppy, but I am attacking through the objectives and having fun

The collectors are arranged very effectively - Excellent.... learned something new again

Thank you.
That was learned from one the greatest ever to play the game.
ea4301 (or something like that).
It gives you the maximum return in power for the cost of building a Collector.

I think it was AlterOlds trick with the collector grid.
Nice work with the guppies, I missed the two closest emitters!
The perfect grid was iirc by 12345ieeee
I couldn't resist and this map made me start cw3 again. I have to admit I had to restart as some spores surprised me a bit ;)
However, it still works and the map was worth the return

Thanks. I kind of let down after that, but sure killed a lot of creep.
I would like to see AlexX put out some more Totems. I was feeding them with 2 Guppies each and it wasn't until the end that I realized I should have been using all of my Guppies. They were just sitting there after about 3 minutes.
AlterOld and EA, two names for sure in the CW Hall of Fame.
I don't recall 12345ieeee. That may have been during my purgatory/exile years.
;)
