How well do you know emitters? Previous version can be solved "illegally". This one is not so easily hackable.

Not sure if this was the intended way, because I did it without much knowledge of emitters:

Spoiler

Build a 3x3 square to height 10, put a shield on it, tear down the wall, keep extending the height 10 bit by bit till you get the gear.

Would be interested to know the intended solution.

But, but, .... we like illegal solutions :-)

I was using something like this but found it quite tedious.

Spoiler

You have the singularity gun here.  You can push the wall out much faster if you suck the creeper away.

I think this was the intended way:

Spoiler

Put the shield as close as you can to the anti-creeper emitters, lower right up against 3 of them works best.
That will allow the emitters to keep pumping out AC and you'll get enough AC to flood over the wall.
Still have to tear down and rebuild the wall to work your way over to the tech, and once you have more shields you can put several on one side of the AC emitters and really flood the map with AC.

Of course instead of tearing down and rebuilding the wall you can fire the singularity gun, wait long enough for the AC going over the wall to deplete the other side a bit before you fire and you can quickly jump over and get the tech and destroy the normal emitters.

i tried all this wall business and it wasn't really working fast enough



HOW DO I HIDE THIS IN SPOILER?




build up a ton of aether, use singularity gun to suck up all the creeper above the emitters - it clears enough space to plop down an nullifer, move a CN over (doesn't even matter if its sitting in the creeper, it can sit there awhile) - power the nullifier up and it destroys the emitters.

The only way this works, I think, is if you have used a lot of aether in the forge first to decrease the build time.  at least i think so, i only did this once.

i'm not sure but you can probably do it pretty quickly if you use this method.  going to try that. [/size][/font]

Ah, the sweet smell of napalm in the morning....

Thank you to the unknown player that reported this map I've never played before. :)
