Good will  [prevail]...


In CW, that's the norm... :)

Actually, is creeper really evil or are the humans evil :P, since humans "corrupt" emitters to produce AC I think creeper and anticreeper are both evil/good ::)

Thing is, creeper destroy everything in its path, AC doesn't. It kills the creeper.

You could also see it as the creeper defending its territory  ;D

Creeper isn't exactly evil and isn't exactly good either. As far as i remember from the storyline, it wanted to control the Universe and the means to doing that was extracting a large portion of the information in the Universe, and one of the easiest ways to mass-extract it would be deconstruction, which has the unfortunate effect of deleting the subject from existence.

Hmm, isn't the creeper rather a tool than a being? the loki use creeper, humans use anti-creeper (the name of AC is only AC because it "kills" creeper). So the loki might have been evil or non-evil, rather than being evil or good they were indeed on a quest for knowledge in order to gain the "ultimate power". the question then is: is a quest for power at the cost of destroying everything in existence not evil?

Well, they have killed QUADRILLIONS of lives. 99% were innocent. So they're evil.

This map is really nice. Took me what seems like forever to finish. Those Amt2000 emitters are insane. I had about a dozen Berthas trained all around each one to get a nullifier built. And that's with max upgrades on packet speed and build speed. Not to mention a few shields and legions of cannons and mortars. Initially we were relieved to see only one spore until I moused over it.   :P

I haven't tried this but has anyone terraformed the ridge down so the AC can flow over faster to potentially help with things?
Twas a sad day when we mothballed Creeper World for Particle Fleet.

yes i did that first go round, and i got a faster time spending that energy on extra berthas on the second run. ::)
i think i was rocking about 34 berthas or so in the end.
i concentrated on the upper right to get some PZ berthas early as possible too!
