I Got my revenge!!! Those emitters killed some of my weapons in the first level so I finally got revenge for them.
Nice map, loved it and had fun with conversion bombs, can't wait for the next installment, this level was great!!!

Glad to hear you liked it. Next map should be up at about dinner tomorrow. After that I'm going to take some time to do the next four.

Cool map, I am still working on beating it though. Like your first map, I still feel like I am in no real danger.

Also, what is the point of the weak yet 20 health emitter? Trolling? Lolz? It is kind of pointless.
(I have to admit though, I deficited on it by building five nullifiers at once, but it was not like it was emitting enough creeper to flood my infrastructure while I was down. lol)

I just beat it. Man,I really took my time with this one; my final time is a testament to that.

I was really bored, so I beat the entire level without using the dark beam...

Awesome story though!

Another excellent game. I'm not very good at multiple assaults, but I did (finally) figure out the secret to attacking the tails of the Whirlpool.

Very nicely put together game - and series.
Thank you for doing it.

It helps that in this map you can take it at your own pace. You can attack one emitter at a time, or go for everything.

True about that whole "at your own pace" thing.
I'm still trying to figure out that first Whirlpool game and it is kicking my tookus.

Fun with conversion bombs. :D At one point I think I was advancing on 6 fronts at once. (Gave the pause button a workout.)

btw I had killed the gateway in ETF 1 (after it dug out the critical rock)

I am author. I am Canon. Deal with ET.

;) Just one of those times where a player's strategy and the author's plans don't match up. Good for a laugh. ;D
