Radar homing emitters, get too close and they come after you, set nullifiers and they retreat. #crpl #experimental #ragequit

Lovely concept, lovely fun. But when an emitter flees off the edge of the map is there any way to lure it back into range?

...and as so often writing down a question provides the thinking to solve it

Spoiler

They're only scared of the nullifiers, but very very scared. So delete all unfired nullifiers and the emitters will obliging wander back up into range to set about destroying things again

Thanks glad you enjoyed it, yes if there are no nullifies they will go back to attack mode, if no units are in range they will drift back to the starting positions.

I really enjoyed having fun with this map! In using my CN to get a couple totems powered up, I noticed that the beasties are attracted to CN's as well so it was pretty fun making them chase me all over the map!

It might be even more fun/challenging if the move speed was doubled (just a thought).

Great map as always! Thanks for making it!  ;D
