Custom Map #7605: Reusable bombs. By: Ehekatl

[Abion47]

I've got to the point where I control everything from the horizontal strip in the center of the map downward, but I have no idea how to deal with the 1200+ creeper constantly pouring out of the portals. I've reached a point of stability with the berthas and the AC but even with all 10 berthas focused on any one portal or even the bomb churning out 2000C at the top, it's never enough to keep the creeper at bay. The farthest I've got is I've momentarily gotten control of the 300 AC bomb on the left side with 7-8 berthas focused on the portal, but as soon as the 2000C bomb pops that 300AC bomb doesn't produce enough to keep itself safe. As far as I can tell the shields are all but useless as no matter how many shields I've got the amount of creeper coming out of the portal is just way too much and the shields get overwhelmed immediately. I have to guess there's a way to shut the portals down but for the life of me I can't figure it out.

Wow, 8 hours? That is some perseverance.

Spoiler

1. There are about 7 power zones that you can build berthas on.
2. Use as many berthas as you can to target the 2k bomb directly. That's the main enemy. Use as few berthas as you can to defend yourself.
3. Land your CN on that top right power zone to power the AC bomb there.

I also see you found the secret. Nice!

Spoiler

I don't remember what's next, but I think you target the top-left emitter, land the CN there again to power the final AC bomb.

That should give buy you enough time to connect briefly with the 2k creeper bomb.

Thanks for playing!

I must be a special kind of intelligent because it never even occurred to me to

put the berthas on the power nodes.

Thanks for the tip.

(More like 2.5 hours, I pretty much play exclusively on 4x once I reach the point where the game is stable enough for my command to not be in any real danger.)
