Last post by Johnny Haywire - January 01, 2026, 02:30:11 PMI think there are only two emitters that can be upgraded - the one by the CN and the other blue emitter north of the CN. It upgrades with AC from the base, and for some reason it didn't seem to upgrade unless the CN was almost full of AC.
I enjoy these CSM-style maps!
Thanks for the map! =)

Last post by Johnny Haywire - January 01, 2026, 01:25:26 PMOOooo, enjoyed this map immensely! Not insanely difficult but probably too difficult for an average player.
It's like a very mild Sorrontis map.
Save before you nullify anything and think about your next move.

Last post by toolforger - January 01, 2026, 01:24:48 PMUm... how do I connect the upgradable emitters?
Tried left-clicks, right-clicks, waiting for level-10 AC, waiting for level-10 power, putting relais directly near them, nothing worked.
The energizer did work, but that's not "connecting" and it cannot reach all upgradable emitters anyway.

This map introduces ore-upgrading for AC emitters. Connect to them and send some AC from your command node to upgrade. AC requirement for each upgrade is slightly increased. 1 terrain height = 10 creeper Click the Help Bar on the left side for help on that topic. Or just move your mouse over the icons to find the objects of that kind. #CSM #EdgeConnection #UnitSpawner

Last post by Johnny Haywire - December 31, 2025, 12:26:10 PMWow, this is a great map! Dunno how I missed this map back in the day but it's a great challenge.
Since the difficulty is maybe 8/10, I wouldn't recommend this if you're not a skilled player.
I landed in the middle section, but that might not be the only place you can land and set up shop.
*Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least... 8 years* lol

Last post by Tamohl - December 30, 2025, 09:08:43 PMThanks for enjoying my map!
I agree that I enjoy this version much better than the first ('Decorating the Tree'). The first is certainly more of an easy, just have some fun kind of map (and has a shortcut element for anyone with good eyes) but this map takes them all away. It's a tight start, but I found building straight power until just before the spores start launching then like 10 beams on the first half gets me through it. Priority is to actually expand to the other half so the spores don't focus down that left side, as eventually they will overwhelm the beams.
When I was first trying to solve this map, I had the same trouble too with getting a foothold at the start of the tree, but shields are certainly the answer.
I too enjoy maps with forges, mostly because the firing range is actually horrible at level 0 I can't stand it, but since the whole map basically is power zones after the first push it's not very noticeable here.

Last post by Johnny Haywire - December 30, 2025, 07:55:04 PMAnother fun challenge - a bit laggy but that's to be expected I suppose. The shields look really cool - I like how they overlap and how they look like flowers.
The bases are well-defended but there's plenty of ammunition available to use. Well-balanced battle.
Thanks for the map! =)

Last post by Johnny Haywire - December 30, 2025, 11:37:31 AMLOL, probably.
My times are typically longer because I almost never pause the game unless absolutely necessary. I only go for fastest time when it's like a speedrun or something. I prefer more of a real-time strategy feel which is a bit more realistic in battle, and takes less real-life time.
I used to run the maps on about 10x speed, using a mod like Cheat Engine to speed it up, but my gaming computer died and my security software on this computer doesn't like CE so I'm just poking around at 4x speed these days.
Glad you were able to beat the map, and feel free to post in forums if ya ever need some help with a map.
Cheers =)
