Custom Map #185: teks016 stepping stones. By: teknotiss

I don't like dunking the command nodes in creeper most of the time. But I had a fun flying strategy. I filled the center island almost completely with reactors and flew the command nodes around bridging and nullifying the spore towers before they even shot their first spore. I then used a relay on the power node from each spore tower (I used sprayers to clear the power nodes) to build relays and collect all the tech. Then I just attacked everywhere.

I found this map very fun. I really enjoyed the safe spots. I wish that safe spots were more common on maps. It just made a really fun dynamic.

I don't think you were supposed to nullify the spore towers before getting all of the emitters. They are AC spore towers that make AC spores. You can tell AC spore towers from regular ones by looking at them. If the thingies are white, it's AC. If they're blue, then they just fire regular spores.

You can leave them alive, but it's also a legitimate tactic to nullify them for the power zones. I personally found them more useful that way than as AC spore towers.

Very nice old tactic game. Enjoyed it!
Good evidence that Teknotiss likes Anti-Creeper!  ;)

Thank You!  :)

Just found this map - it's an old one, but pretty fun & relaxing. By "relaxing" I mean there's no way to lose. No need to rush or do anything in a particular order in order to finish.

So if you've been playing some of the tougher maps out there and just need to take a break then kick your feet up, start this map and just relax. You can even go make a hot chocolate without having to pause it. You have three CN's so you can use two of them to float around like giant UFO's and pick up stuff. They can even power up totems for ya. No worries, no stress, no threats. If that's not the scene you wanna scope and scoop, then just scoot.  ;)

Thanks for these maps, Tek!  ;D
