Best of the Alpha Sector

[teknotiss]

I gave Point to Point a shot and gave up after the second wave of spores.

sorry they are a bit heavy  ::), but once you get some PZ's the spore stop being an issue

i also love TonyP2000's Warzone Classic. i played it when we didn't have forges or berthas and i saw it would be cool with some more units, now it's updated it's one of my favourite huge maps

Graunaid: Waternaris is probably my favorite Alpha map because it was the first difficult map that I beat. virgilw: Brain was pretty cool too, but once you recognize the pattern, it becomes a button mashing test.

So far I've only really played one which was Brain. I liked it, it took me about 20 minutes to beat it pretty much since i usually catch on slowly with puzzles, when i got to 5 i caught onto the order and the puzzle's key.
I plan on giving Metroid a try when i have an hour to spend. an hour if not more :)

I'll probly play much more on the 23rd.

all of teknotiss map. ;) i'm fan!
his maps took out my whole day;;

not easy. not too hard. fun and challenge for my skill.
i hope his next map in colonial space.

..except thor's thunder. FPS(frame per second) is too low to play. :(

Madmog's Metroid is kicking my ass right now.  I know what it is, I suck with energy management, so my spore towers aren't getting recharged, but I'm starting to last a little longer, actually had a forge up and running for a bit, just need to work in energy management and careful expansion.  So on that note I bet 'point to point' is going to give me hell too, we'll see.

I'm done with all of Virgil's maps now.  Nacdar was fun, I took to the 'wall myself in' strategy rather than approaching it how he did it.  I couldn't even remember how he dealt with the runners in that map, but I don't think he'd designed snipers yet anyways.  That was another map that I had to restart a few times.

cheers dude, nice to hear!  8)
sorry about thor's slowness, if you turn the creeper and air units transparent and turn off mist effects it'll speed it a little, but it is a heavy map. it's a little slow on my 3.5Ghz quad-core with 4 Gb of RAM so prob not one for the lower end machines.
i should probably make a smaller version for thor's thunder 2!

I just played it (again) and still like it. It keeps you engaged the entire time.

*Problem*
There are no scores registered for completion - even mine. I tried registering twice and the on-line score table is still blank.

Already reported on another board, might have to do with the ' in the name

Thank you.
In that case, I did it in 3 1/2 minutes.

Whaaat! you did "thor's thunder" in 3.5 mins ??? ?

wow i thought some who got really aggressive would get under 10 but 3.5 is criminally easy for that map!
thor is a bit OP, perhaps someone could CRPL me a micro thor? no beams and 33% power weapons? and a third the size?  :D

tek -
Sorry...I was lying through my teeth.

The real time was about 44:30.
A really good player can probably get that down to about 30:00, but it would take some concentrated effort. I got smacked about half-way through with one stinking Spore and had to regroup a little bit.

That was a really fun game and I'll give it another go at some point.

[teknotiss]

ahh -sigh of relief- :) i figured some of the speed kings could get it done much faster then me, but i thought 10 or so would be the absolute fastest, 30+ will be the average for sure. i like the thor unit, but making a map still fun with it is tricky ::)

[TonyP2000]

I am going to have to try this Thor's Thunder next time I get the chance, it sounds like a challenge.

[TonyP2000]

Just finished Chunk from MuadDib, now that is one hell of a battle. Give it a shot if you like huge maps.

And tek, I finally tried Thor's Thunder, that was chaotic! Never got to finish it though.

Muad's maps are pretty cool, Chunk was fun! thor's thunder is a bit messy, but if you move fast you can kill the emitters on the right and then grab the rightside second thor, once that's done = win!  :D
