CSM without a Stargate Blocker?! You won't miss it once you discover what the "Creeper Toilet" is and does :). "Tiny Creeper": 1 wall = 10 creeper Shifty Semiconductors (the arrows that move) are now "100% more shifty" :). Hard mode (for real this time): don't use the upgrader
Interesting variant, even more useful than the blocker.
Beat it hard and didn't use the neutralizer bomb.
Great game! Love the "creeper toilet". Really changes the strategy. I'll play it again later, now that I have a better handle on it. 10 from me!

Gratz on beating it hard mode :), did you use the Singularity weapon? It's possible to do hard mode + no singularity weapon as that is how I did my verification run to make sure that hard mode was possible :). I did use the Neutralize bomb though in the end.

Glad you liked it! :)
Pretty happy with the Creeper Toilet myself too, had to adjust the Stargate Joiner so it becomes semi-transparent when you move your mouse close to it so you can build the walls around it much more easily, this kind of level would have been tedious otherwise. I wonder how many people noticed this brand new little feature as I didn't add in the map description :).

No singularity, either. Things were collapsing pretty quickly by the time I got the neutralizer.
That was a lot of fun, thank you. The new unit was cool. And I must thank you for the links/icons on the left side. Quite useful!
These CSM maps are top drawer, thanks for making them :D

I played the map again and this time noticed the transparent stargate joiner (because I looked for it). Great improvement. Thanks for that!
this was another great map, I really hope you keep making them.
The creeper toilet (not a fan of the name LOL) was a good touch. , and it wasn't hard to figure out. I also did enjoy the gate disappearing when you mouse over it to see the terrain underneath. Nice value add.
I have tried the CSM maps in CW4 and they just don't compare to CW3 maps.
Again Thanks
Cheers

Oh nice, that's better than what I did :), yeah I probably should have buffed the end more. Ah well as long as people enjoy the map :)

New unit? The "Creeper Toilet" is build out of existing units in a new configuration :).
You're welcome for the Help Bar, glad you found it useful :).

Yeah the fact that some people won't notice it when they play shows how much it was meant to be that way :D.

CSM 06 is already in development :). I hope other map makers will also make some CSM maps as I also love playing them too :).
This was the best name I could come up with :D. You're welcome to suggest better names for the "Creeper Toilet", I'm willing to change it if I like a new name too :).
I designed the map so that it has a bit of a mini-tutorial at the start as you have very little options so it immediately forces you to use the "creeper toilet" even if you aren't sure if it would work.
Maybe one day I'll make some CSM maps in CW4 but for now I'm sticking to CW3.
Thanks for the comment and cheers to you too :).

Creeper crapper? :):):)
This is going in the wrong direction. Decorum, please.

That's genius ;D!
Sadly it does lose the visual similarity that the previous name had (creeper getting drained into a hole and vanishing) and the new name doesn't really have a good reason to be that name other than being similar to the previous name.
I also assume that most people that are not happy with the current name is because of the "toilet" part, so we are trying to find something different :D.
Loved the attempt though, 10/10 :).
New video from Dr Gorgée (in French / en français) featuring this map. He struggles a bit at the start but does manage to stabilize and win the map in hard mode :).

Love all the new animations you've added great level hope to see more
instead of "Creeper Toilet" how about "Creeper Sink".

My first thought for "sink" is a plumbing fixture that holds water.

Yeah I like this name better so unless if I get an even better name, this will be the name I'll use instead if I ever make a similar kind of level.
Glad you liked the new animations. A new CSM 07 map was released yesterday :).

Isn't CW3 a "game where you have to fight water"? So sounds like that would work for me :D
