You are welcome and thanks for comment!  :)

Was gameplay strategy in this map too easy?

[Twi]

Definitely a tricky one, kudos!

Interesting. Personally I don't think this is the best map of the bunch but that's OK.

The key here is realizing that your creeper will never have a higher level than the enemy creeper, and that the numbers are misleading. A whole group of emitters might output 25 creeper but have a stargate linked that puts out 300. Block that, deal with the excess creeper, and then once you've taken the area, use Terps in a 5x5 grid raise surrounding terrain to level 9 and move your blocker to another section. Rinse and repeat.

Amazing map! love it :).
And its definitely hard, im probably 1/3 finished with the map and have used over and hour. Will be fun to try again after finishing to try to get a better time.

Im always so happy when I see new maps from you yum.

For me it is a matter of deciding which color to go for first - the monitor helps with that - then choosing which stargate to attack first.

I went north and south at the same time from the initial reservoir, while blocking the heavy red stargates.

To begin with I was running out of blockers, took me a while to realise that once I had taken a stargate I could

block it off permanently with 9-height walls!!

Definitely not.
Just one question, how do I move a stargate blocker? :P

That's the complexity level I was asking for. Don't look at the time, most of it was just thinking about next move on 4x speed rather than waiting for some flow. Singularity not used.

What I really liked is that all the time I was solving a challenging puzzle and experimenting, and not waiting for some area to fill for a "wall pushing" strategy I used in some other maps.

Played this map and thought it went rather well, so I made a video of it.
