the tremendous totem will give you all the aether you need, but you have to secure it first, good luck! #ACassist #firepower #teks

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...

Good fight!
Lots o Creeper to make disappear.

I question your design strategy.
I didn't see the need to flip any emitters - better to destroy them.
and although I used the aether totem it didn't really make much difference apart from speeding up the end game.

that's cos there wasn't a need  ::) just an option for a style of play.
oh and i liked the script 8)

I didn't realize any of the emitters in that map flipped? In fact, I strongly doubt they do.

After all these comments, I'm just going to have to go back and play it again (Sam).
I misremember what this one was like.

I found one that does....

Well, if it is that one, then I guess there's a good reason for that.

Um... are you supposed to secure the totem from the start?
I haven't tried all options yet, but it seems

Spoiler

going bomber-first

[close]

will make it arrive just in time to see the first creeper arrive on the totem, and not deliver enough AC to flip it; instead, creeper will win, and then it's hopeless.

hey dude, it is def not hopeless!

have you tried sending some sprayers maybe?  but i def did it with bombers... perhaps you should try using the "pause it and use "n" to frame by frame it" tactic early on?

i am sure you can do it, you might just need to think about energy really carefully in the early game!

if you are still stuck ask again and i will try to help you out more...  8)

Bombers would take very long to build and arrive, and deliver their payload too slowly.

Maybe

Spoiler

a PZ-based one

[close]

would have worked, but I didn't try that.


Instead, I

building a reactor on the PZ to have enough energy to build the rest quickly, then build sprayers, fill them up, and send them in, three at a time,

[close]

which did the trick.

Phew.

lol whatever worked... one trick about bombers and strafers is you can send them before they fully load out...

so a bomber or strafer, if you have set a target (and selected auto launch of target set on bombers) can be sent with the use of "Q" or "deactivate" then "Q" or "reactivate" with whatever load it has past 1 energy or 1 AC respectively...

this means you can build two bombers, send one with 30 or so AC aboard to get the flipper defended then the other bomber can come in with a full load later.  you then have 2 alternating bombers and you can add more if needed.

glad you got it going anyway, have fun! 8)

Tekno, this is what I'd call "long time support" :D 👍
