This creeper behaves very odd. Can you figure out the trick to this map? Don't give up!

This is a challenging map.  Very cool idea.  It took me a while to figure out that when the A. C. got up to a certain density it would turn into bad creeper.  It makes you rethink your way of doing things when you have cleared out the creeper in a room and all you have left is anti creeper building up to critical mass.  When it does, it changes to bad creeper and can leave you trapped.  Great concept  :)

My question is, how do you get the creeper to convert by itself?

A very nice map, great concept. Also took me a while, just nuking it with conversion bombs, before I got it. Great map!

It was a mistake at first, actually. I never meant it to happen.
It's a glitch in the game.

When you create creeper in the editor and max it out, it will go to a maximum of about 2100M. You just cant create a higher density.
When you force the density up (by fields or gravity), it goes over the 'critical point' and changes to AC.

Try it ;)

Creative and different kind of challenge.  I like the change in strategy.

i believe it's at 2147M then it flips over the the other state, ac to c and c to ac.

Yeah -  great idea, accidental or not.  I couldn't work out how to get the creeper in the lower-right chamber to trigger over into AC, had to just fight through with a ton of conversion bombs.  Cool and very original map :-)

well, i forgot about cbombs  :(
