After an hour and a half of playing, I am now pausing to celebrate making it to the 3:00 mark.

Great way to start a Monday.
Thanks D.

Hey Yum-san - glad to see you!

EDIT:
Ok, so that was a butt-kicker, Got my heart beating nicely and I can just skip my morning workout.
Thanks D!

"hey, this one looks pretty good, i might go for the record this time"

*looks at d0m0nik's time*

"er, nvm that"

D0m0nik · March 15, 2021, 02:38:20 PM

Good going H!

Riskbreaker - just put a new time down, couldn't have the Korean beating me on this one!

The trick with this one is 3 bases and careful AOO use.

Spoiler

There are 5 landing spots, I went top left, bottom right and middle. Just before the central base dies move the CN and land a convert just as the walls collapse, reland the CN. This base can then connect the other two bases

4 minutes, 10,2 seconds?

like... human minutes and seconds? or alien ones, that translate into 50+ minutes here, on earth?

D0mi0nik?

;D ;D ;D

Come on, chop chop! No time for standing around!

I was hoping to see some sub 10min times. A quick start is essential and getting PZ berthas on line as quick as possible is key as well. Screenshots below show my method early doors.

i tried chaining the energy syphons and not build reactors at all but ended up with no power :P

yum-forum · March 16, 2021, 02:04:07 PM

So many variants for enjoyable playing of this game! :D

Here is my five minute screen shot, trying to survive with just a single CN.
I was going to give it a go with more CN's like the D Man suggested tonight, but started beer tasting early.
On the morrow we'll give it a go.
Thanks D,
H

PS - I'm till in second place for now. ;)

Hint: I you use the key combination "Alt" + "Print Screen", it will capture your entire game screen, border to border.

love seeing the different approaches, I prefer maps with lots of options!

Helper · March 17, 2021, 07:07:45 PM

It took me an hour to get past that 1:07 mark just right, and I kept on charging (but forgot to save).
I'll take another run at it tomorrow.
One of my all time favorite maps.
Thanks,
H

Glad you are enjoying it H, I have an idea for another one, hopefully get time to make it soon. Map making takes me way too long, I am so pedantic, this one was about 5 hours to make.

As Riskbreaker pointed out, don't neglect energy production, if a bertha doesn't fit on a PZ then put a reactor on it!
