HINT: Be careful which target you destroy first in the late game
I have lost count of how many restarts I have had, really difficult start!
that is what martin told me 2...
That wasn't my intention at all.
just 2 cannons, sprayer (always on) an then mortars...
I never tried this map. No point in trying. Like there is no point in trying to lift a car by hand either or win an argument with a woman.
Well, I have had an argument with a car and lifted a woman by hand so that's close, right?
I didn't think the start was too brutal. First attempt was unsuccessful because I hit one of the juicy runners but second time worked ok.
IMO, this is one of the best constantly-challenging maps I've played in a long time. While the initial difficulty may have only been around an 8/10, that difficulty didn't drop much throughout the map, until you secure the bottom island as well as the small island with the totem.
The top half was a bit more of a slog than a challenge, but the huge number of spores kept it interesting for a while. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this battle!
BTW, my initial setup was a couple sprayers (always on), 2 cannons aimed at the digi threat on the 2 sides, and then I just added the combo of 2 reactors + blaster with a couple of beams. Move slowly and cautiously and you should be ok in this map, as long as you are ready for the huge wave of spores that come much later in the game.
Well done, mate. Very well done. Loved this one! Two exclamation points AND a smiley face!
Thanks for the map!! =)
