The Settlers live in peace in their awsome land, farming. building and now and then some bed-gymnastics to create more settlers.
Will it be peace for long?
I love your backgrounds... so nice. Well, thats another 40 minutes to play... ;)
Very fun :)
thanks :)
Great map! I would have got half a minute faster, except the emitter on the bottom left decided to make my life harder. I lost my connection and had to move a few blasters over there to contain it. Good challenge. :)
Those background make it so enticing to try out your maps. Gonna give this one a run tomorrow.
don't let it fool you into feeling its easy though... i'm STILL trying to get this. but i've sort of gotten bored... guess i need to improve a bit!
MadMag I love your maps, you are one of my top 3 favorite map-makers, and probably have the cleanest art style of anyone on here.
That said, I found the well on this map to be pretty annoying. It's odd because sometimes when emitters get stronger it is great. I loved getting overrun on sandstorm. but somehow with the well I felt like I had it capped pretty good and when it suddenly got stronger I was just annoyed because I had stopped paying attention to it.
I guess that is the key, when something you are still struggling with gets stronger that can be fun, but when an emitter you think you had covered gets stronger and knocks out some of your base before you notice it, it can be pretty irritating.
Just a thought, I don't want to discourage you, every time I see you have posted a new map I know it is going to be fun!
keep up the great work!

You do not need to cap the well. That is how I got a fairly fast time. I just followed the ledge on the right, and got the speed tech. Then ignored the well after that. ;)
Great graphics and great game.
I was just glad to survive!
Beautiful work.

That is such a great map thank a lot.
TBH I think it is one of your best. Sure not the hardest, but speed is the challenge here. I think it's beautifully balanced.
Must have almost finished it about 10 times in the search for the best solution. Sure I ended up anyway with a poor time, but I loved playing it.
