Custom Map #259: Navarone IV. By: First

.... This feature would allow me to push a corrected, modified, or otherwise repaired, without requiring a whole new submission to CS.

Also, I was unaware that "repaired" was a noun :P

I'm almost positive PF was being sarcastic. "Repaired" in this case is an adjective, although it's primarily a verb (e.g., I repaired this toaster). "Corrected" and "Repaired" are meant to modify a noun which you did forget to add; (I would prefer that this read "a corrected, modified, or otherwise repaired map...).

Let the above serve as evidence the next time someone calls me a nerd.

i was a bit confused too since i saw First'd missed the noun and i sort of fill in that kind of "missed" typo automatically, so i had to go double check "repaired" was a verb (self doubt afflicts us all occasionally). grammer sarcasm is hard to pick up in text comments for me! ::)
i sort of thought PF was confused for a bit, then it struck me he was being funny ;)
context is lost in text, hence archeology being so tricky even when stuff written down :)

I had just finished filling every available bit of high ground with berthas and reactors and was beginning the process of fighting my way out to more totems (via terp; to make more gun space at the front) when kaboom. Surprise victory. (I wasn't bothering to watch the effect of the AC berthas or my artillery division while I built and terraformed.)

Same here.  I was adding the next strip of land to my base and I knew I had at least 20 seconds that the game could run without any attention.  Thus I had my eyes on another screen, when I look back to see how the terraforming is going I have the victory message.  I came here to figure out why.

Spoiler

I found that if you disable AC dispatch and build up a massive AC reserve while also building up berthas, you can beat the level faster.

While this is a long-dead topic; the following is worth noting for "Suspicious score" purposes:

Spoiler

Sub 10min times are likely possible using the Forge. A Singularity on a pump for about 20sec causes conversion density at the Inhibitor.
The current 6min second place is likely to be deserving, though the <1min first is almost certainly not.
