The third part to the continuing series! Abraxis's hunt for the source of these strange devices leads him to this world, where some rather powerful energy sinks reside, as well as some mobile ones!! My apologies regarding the opening text, after much frustration I couldn't figure out why it wasn't opening on its own, so if the map starts without it for you, just check the Archived Transmissions found at the bottom! As always, I'd like to see more Energy Sink maps. #crpl #energysink

i cant get this done because the energy sink gate keeps me from being able to nulify the inhibotors what to do then, this cant be beat.

The trick is

Spoiler

not to try it all at once

[close]

You can also:

Spoiler

Load the Nullifier island with AC until it starts to spill over.

[close]

Or:

Spoiler

Berthas and Bombers, with Strafers and Sprayers as backup.

There is an other way for the inhibitor,

Spoiler

stop sending ammo packet while building the last nullifier, once it's build reactivate the ammo packet.

Spoiler

you could also suppress the inhibitor and use the forge weapon just south east of the lowest of the small island then keep building relays until the neturaliser has fired.

I have not been playing for a while, to come back was a joy and this map was almost fun until the very end, I don't understand how anyone can find having to micromanage this map fun. The ending sucke all the fun out of the beginning and the joy of finding a new mechanic was destroyed by the ending. It is obvious that it is beatable as it is on the server. I checked the forum, Thought maybe I was not understanding the mechanics. Tried the spoilers and they didn't work for me either.

So in closing, I won't give this a high score since for me it is not a fun map. It started fun but ending being joyless for me.

[GoodMorning]

There is a way.

Spoiler

Build a bunch of Sprayers and Bombers.
When the sprayers are full, send them to the Nullifier and Relay/Guppy islands, and then blow them up to dump the AC load.
Bombers for the same purpose, and to top it up when there is a Nullifier there.

Then use Berthas and Strafers to suppress the Creeper, and build in stages.
Build speed tech is very good here.
Use a Guppy to supply the packets, as it's easier to turn off while you remove Creeper.
Putting Sprayers on Power Zones on the lower island helps too, as they can be Guppy supplied without powering the Energy Sinks thereabouts.

What the point of pouring energy into the holes if all they are going to do is shoot back creeper?

[GoodMorning]

The idea is to avoid doing so. But at the end, the "holes" are closer to the supply than the spot the Nullifier must go. Hence, strategy.

[TLFP]

If you want to see how I did it go here.

Thanks for the help, Finally finished it, However I still stand my assessment. The end game needed to be overly micromanaged for me to really enjoy this.
