This is a small map that you will hate for 10 minutes, then it becomes easier. #NOCRPL #Inhibitor #Sporestorm #AET #Appletree

False Advertising! LOL

Guessing someone's gonna soon beat my time and hit under 1m.  :P

[Tjgalon]

I think there a couple mistake made in this map, unless it desgin to be beaten that easy, that way

[Johnny Haywire]

Any map that has:

1) A freeze AOO or two plus either a mass or convert AOO

2) An inhibitor that you can land near (either a guppy or CN or two)

Is just designed to be beaten in about 1 minute. Period. Just Freeze by itself + Inhibitor = almost certainly an instant-win.

So for maps like this, it's just a race to see who can insta-win the fastest.

[TLFP]

Yeah, I purposely made a hole so you can beat it easily, it's mostly a speed run.

[PMouser]

Help please, i have no beams and the spores got too much creeper to keep up with. ty

You just have to...

Spoiler

land 2 CN on the island. Collect AOO's, fire at inhibitor, land 3rd CN, win!

[close]

[Builder17]

Is there any way to win if mapmaker removes inhibitors?  ???

[PMouser]

I dont understand the spoiler, what is AOO? ty

Artifact of Odin, it what the the Blue C, Red M, and the Yellow F, are called.

[PMouser]

ok, i cant seem to do that either because the spores come
and so much creeper on the tree i just cant take a inhibitor. ty

[Johnny Haywire]

Spores will not fire at a CN or an inhibitor. Artifacts of Odin are...
1) Freeze (the most important one) - Keeps creeper from producing/flowing around an area
2) Convert - Changes Creeper into Anti-Creeper (very useful but won't get rid of digitalis)
3) Mass Driver - Blows a big crater in the earth. The depth will be level 1, the edge will be level 10.

You can launch more than one at the same time. So, Freeze + Mass will eliminate all creeper around an area and freeze all enemy actions. Play around in the "Prospector Zone" for a while to get the hang of what each one of these does.

So use one CN plus a collector to charge up and collect the AOO's. You only need the freeze, but get w/e you want.
Land two CN's up top and then build a nullifier. It's really a lot easier than you're trying to make it. It's like fighting clay pots with a rod of solid iron - really not a challenge at all  ;)

[Martin Gronsdal]

perfectly beatable withouth the AoO.

[Johnny Haywire]

Yes but more longer and even morer messier than if you just grill the hot dogs and get it over with. Why spray mustard all over your shirt when you can just pop a can of soda and say ha ha inhibitor delete more faster!

Ah, I do love going back and reading some of the comments from 5 years ago. Good memories, chuckles and sowing machines.  ;)
