On this map i found

Spoiler

building 2 cn in the creeper was a viable stratergy. I never needed the third, so I used it to charge totems.

[close]

The first two emitters are weak, so

Spoiler

you can hold them back with a pair of blasters each. I built four each and a mortar.

[close]

I then put the nullifiers

Spoiler

in the safe powerzones.

[close]

I had enough energy left over to

Spoiler

build build seven reactors and a forge in the safe area.

[close]

In order to start on the next emitters, I put reactors

Spoiler

in the safe power zones, I moved the mortars to the new power zones, and built two shields. Shields work across walls.

Too fast for me. I wouldn't mind seeing videographic proof of that, however.

Alter Old · September 16, 2015, 08:45:25 PM

I'll try to make less than 5 minutes : ).

Heh!

It was you I had in mind!

I didn't do a lot of energy optimisation so you'll easliy improve on it.

Video your run for Warren, will ya?!

You and I? Two videos better than one. Besides our methods may differ.

Good plan, but I'm somewhat technologically challenged, lacking video capture capability - wheras I've watched your videos in the past.

Still, you're right, it would be interesting to compare play styles.

I'll post a few screen shots later showing play stages - not as comprehensive as a video, but still showing the road I took.

Cavemaniac · September 18, 2015, 11:41:19 PM

Alter Old - 2:55.1
Cavemaniac 5:43.6

You didn't even halve my time - it's like you weren't even trying!

As promised, here's a couple of screen shots, not giving EVERYTHING away...

You have no idea how much face palming those images led to. Of course that is how you get a good time on this map. I totally missed it.
