It would be fun to see what it takes to survive that giant wave.
H

Survive and win!

[Loren Pechtel]

Heh!
I've re-played many games to see if I could lower my time, but this might be a good one to keep playing until those Final Protective Fires trigger.

Lots and lots of beams.

If I remember correctly, I capped the beams at 5.

My doctor said it was ok for me to go back to playing some of Sorrontis' maps, so I did this one.

I decided to try a speedrun at this and try to get a decent time for once. Maybe even come close to Alter Old's time, who knows?

I realized after pausing the ba-hooey out of this map and not even getting under 8 minutes that Alter Old is indeed from another planet. Or from the future. Or possibly an AI sent here from another planet in the future to either wipe us out or save us all.  I can see possibly shaving my time down into the 7-minute mark, but I have no idea how he got it under 4. Stinkin' impressive.

As for the map, forget trying to survive the spores. Just take them out. Grab all 3 of your CN's at the start and hit the weakest enemy emitters/towers/etc and use them for your benefit. My biggest bottleneck was trying to pick up all the doo-dads after killing the inhibitor. Maybe A.O. did that at the start, I dunno.

I can see how this map would be lots of fun. I should try playing it my normal way and see. Sorrontis, if you're still around my insurance company wants to get in touch with you about... um... maybe a tuxedo. All I know is they said something about a suit and needing to file it somewhere.

Thanks for the map! (I think)  ;D

[Sorrontis]

Oh, I love a good suit. I need a good tailor though, my shoulders are unusually broad.
