I noticed your choice of words is occasionally odd. Don't let it bother you, just write away ^^

Did anyone use the sprayer to some effect except for flipping the first emitter?

Absolutely.
The sprayer is *great* for speeding progress when you are slowly pushing against an emitter.
Not in spray mode, mind you.
But for its AC-magnet effect when gathering (land directly behind emitter, slurp your AC forward!)
and for those suicidal selfdestructs, which dump a moderate amount of AC in a very,very tight concentration very fast.

Thanks. I tried the self-destruct and found it mildly useful, but didnt think about putting the magnet effect in an Creeper area. I guess I gotta replay this map indeed XD

I am totally stumped here. What good is a sprayer with no source of AC to put in it? The only possible source I see is the conversion bomb chip, but you need AC to claim it and you need AC to claim the factory to put it in. There are some huge emitters, in theory it might be possible to use the singularity weapon to flip some creeper but I've never actually seen that produce a pile of AC when it happens.

Thanks for comment and you are welcome!

Spoiler
Magic "green aura" zone produce AC! If you place Sprayer inside zone and make setting (in two first squares) of your unit you will get AC to sprayer and then start to convert first flip emitter!
Sorry for unusual trick - it should be variety of creative ideas! :D
Good lu!

Spoiler

the VERY FIRST THING I DID was build something inside the green since it started with "zero" in its description for damage, only to see that thing die. this wasnt a new idea, this was simply another "only one way to play" map that isnt fun. once you get past that, then its a nice map. please. no more "tricks" unless you are going to explain them or provide examples. they dont add any enjoyment, only frustration.

I once learned how to read, but I've since completely forgotten and now I'm unable to read anything at all. So I basically just have to guess what letters mean when all wedged together like irresponsible teenagers at a Covid-19 party, and thankfully I guessed right this time. There was a number that said 5 and then the letters "AC" and I was just hoping that wasn't a hexadecimal expression for 172 (it wasn't). Amazingly, it worked.

Yanno, there's a lot you can do in these maps with just one sprayer. I'd love to have two sprayers in a map like this. I ended up walking away at one point not realizing it was running, and came back to 1800-deep creeper over most of the map. Love a challenge? Like a seriously uphill battle? Try it and I promise it will be fun. ;)

Loved the map, Yum! I thought the start was kinda cool actually. A bit strange perhaps, but still cool. And hey, I'd take any kind of weird start to have a sprayer in one of these maps, so ya get lots of thumbs up and smileys for this map - thanks so much for making it! ;D ;D ;D

Aye, one of the greatest concepts and implementations in CW3, in my opinion. The basic premise of the game revolves around fluid dynamics, and the CSM maps are arguably the most pure form of that. Well, all except for the weapons that are available in some of them. Such a great concept, and Yum's mastery of implementation of this mechanic is unparalleled.

So all that to say, yeah I really love CSM maps too! ;D ;D ;D
