That's right, it's out. And I'm not sorry.

Now, you asked for the most evil map, I realize that this is not the most evil map I can make, it's just the most evil map I can make AND beat :P

For those needing tips:
Tip 1
Spoiler

The green "helping hand" spawns AC when nullified. The amount of AC is based on the time at which its destroyed (wait a long time, lots of AC)
[close]

Tip 2
Spoiler

At the bottom left corner, there is a hidden CRPL core. Destroy it to release the locking of AC. Combine this with Tip one to cover the entire map with AC if you wait long enough.
[close]

Tip 3
Spoiler

Build 10-20 guppies to hold a reserve of packets for when you destroy certain emitters. you'll be able to rebuild sufficient reactors.
[close]

Tip 4
Spoiler

Have enough beam towers. Certain emitters will spawn up to 60 spores when destroyed
[close]

Tip 5
Spoiler

Careful when nullifying the flashing emitter. When destroyed it will spawn a 1500 emitter. Best thing to do is to build two nullifiers, one of which is disarmed. turn it on as soon as the second emitter pops up.
[close]

Tip 6
Spoiler

There's a bunch of other nasty surprises for you. Don't forget to save .... often. VERY often
[close]

Tip 7
Spoiler
Goodluck!

Hey Sorrontis

Just got in from work, been looking forward to playing this all day.

I am going to play it without reading the spoilers first and see how I get on, I am a sucker for punishment!

Hope you like it. :D (I forget that people might not live in North America... there's a whole bunch of time zones)

Haha, yeah there is about 7 hours between us!

Wow, that was one hell of a battle! The ending had me stumped for a minute and some of the tricks were brutal. 

I am not going to add my own spoilers as I am a little dazed at the moment but there are a lot of tricks to make this map quicker. I spent a lot of time living in fear of pretty much everything and so ended up taking my time and massively over-planning, I had reactors, mortars and cannons distributed all over the map to allow for random eruptions.

I will replay when I have renewed energy! Once you know how to play it then it is not so bad but if you play without reading the spoilers it is very challenging! The actual difficulty level is not bad though, I was never close to being overrun and my base was never threatened.

Thanks for making this, was a load of fun to play!  :)

Sorrontis

Glad you liked it! I'll make you a "For D0monik v.2" a little later when I have more time. :)

Having read your spoilers I have had another go and the first 'helping hand' is really spectacular if used properly, very impressive!

Look forward to more maps as always!
