Wow, Martin's time is sigma goals, no cap! Nice speedrun, m8!

Enjoyed the map - pretty consistent challenge, but not difficult-challenging. Just enough to keep it interesting the entire time.

I ended up not using the AC emitter, except to put a couple sprayers there to spray nearby digi. Not sure it did that much to help but I hated seeing all that AC go to waste. I think I used the singularity to get the emitter before the inhibitor. It all happened so fast =P

I like your design! The emitters that can't be killed keep you on your toes a bit. The spores at the beginning was a nice touch. Checked to see if they'd be juicy friends, but they were barely there so I did the map the normal way and took the tower out in a few minutes.

Thanks for the map!

This topic is for discussion of map #11670: Map 11211 - The "hard" way


Author: Johnny Haywire (just an edit)
Size: 193x193

Desc:
Not really that difficult, despite adding digi to the inhibitor and beefing it up significantly. Should be easily manageable by most players. All units are available and plenty of energy, ore and even aether packs which I forgot to remove. Super-easy. No hostile spores either. Seriously, this is too easy to call it "the hard way". Like the map? Credit goes to OldNewby for the original. Hate it? Blame me.

[Starting on the upper left hand side is also possible but a lot harder...]

How is there a hard way?

I started with a conventional approach in the only reasonably clear area--the upper right.  It was very easy.  Direct assault is even easier.  How do you do hard??

For the HARD WAY... just start anywhere on the East (Left Hand) side...  Upper Right is the easy- fast- way...  The Spoiler info above shows that it is possible to start in the bottom Left hand side... Starting on the upper left hand side is also possible but a lot harder...

Spoiler

I am working on a Plan to start in the bottom Left Hand Side per the above Spoiler Image... but using a COMBINED ARMS attack to avoid the grind across the entire map...

AND Congratulations to Marinero... who won the challenge of doing it the HARD WAY!!!!

Results of a HARD START and COMBINED ARMS attack...

Spoiler

Lorne - This middle way ?? HARD then EASY ?? throw everything but the kitchen sink at it demonstration... was very clumsy... you will find it easy to beat this 9:26.3 minute time...

The left side start isn't that bad.  You wipe everything but the CNs but the spores are inbound and nothing's hard after that.

Lots of all-caps and irrelevant punctuation made this painful for me to read, but I did see that starting in the upper left was "a lot harder" so I did that. Took out the emitter pretty quickly to establish a clear territorial dominance, then killed the Inhibitor in under 4 minutes total. I also did the "easy way" a couple of times but didn't feel like trying a third time. Very impressed (as usual) by Weasee's score, and Martin's too!

The explanation of "Hard way" is so confusing. This might be worthy of a remake where the upper left is the only option. I do like the concept and AC is always fun so why not?

Thanks for the map!

I tried. I really tried. I kept pausing every never and placed everything exactly where haphazardly and randomly they should be.

I didn't mind the constant "collected: shield key" pop-ups please kill me now and was so very happy to feel like a kid again playing Pokemon as I went about trying to collect them all.

To me, this map is almost like one of those "just stop oil" protests which make people use more gas. Or a malfunctioning perfume factory that just doesn't make scents anymore. And they discontinued the penny which makes you know forget it who cares.

The author's name inspired me on this one. I only built berthas then walked away for about 10 minutes and when I came back stuff was ready to collect.

Collecting pickups kills brain cells. No cap. Trust.

Thanks for the .

The beginning is pretty easy, but you'll need that little AC farm on the right to get the end done.
