Merry Christmas!
Couldn't figure out how to defeat the 4th emitter (on the left, with the field pulsating). Any hints?

Tell me which map and I'll take a look at it.
I've learned from some of the old-timers around here that there is almost always a simple way to get around some difficult situations.
Yeah, sorry - it was january.
OK - I just started another map and will load January when I'm done.

That one is pretty far down the terrain so you have had plenty of time to build up huge energy and Technobytes.
I had saved all of my ore to that point, so I attacked with Blasters, Launchers (lots of them), and one maker on the "x4" setting.
My attack point was from the center (from right to left) and it isn't very hard to take out a 6445K Emitter. I would start with about 8 Blasters and 12 Launchers - and save before the fight. If that isn't enough weaponry, just re-load at that point and build more before attacking.
By that point you should have maxed out all of your weapons improvements, so you have a lot of firepower leading the way.

Thanks, dbit.
I just finally killed it by stacking 3 ranks of 4 repulsors below the emitter on the left edge of the map, supposing that if I could keep the far left column protected from the creeper, I could get a nullifier close enough. It took several tries to get the timing right, waiting for the surge of creeper to go to the other side. I wasted a lot of time that I should have been doing something else with, so I'll try your way next time.
Well, you got it and that's the important part!
:)
Yep! I may try to refine it later, tho too late for the tournament. Thanks again.

Since you won, the previous tradition (Chronum in CW1) was that you selected the next week's maps. If you feel like it, "Make it so!"
Since the holidays may interfere with some players' availability, you might want to extend the next deadline.

Excellent! Thank you for advising me.
Let me put some thought into and and try to come up with something.
I'll look back through some of the old topics and "Make it so!"

OK - here it is: http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=9171.msg61576
I don't know how to use that scoring tool discussed in one of the threads, but will just do it manually.
Please review my selections and let me know (there) if I need to make any changes.
